Things I Hate About TV: Small spaces that are big

HGTVOK, I'll admit it, I love home design shows. Not all of them, of course. Being a single guy living in an apartment, I really can't get into shows where couples or families look for a new house, or shows where a rich couple adds a heliport to their mansion, or even shows where someone puts $10,000 into redoing their kitchen.

But I do like shows such as Design on a Dime, reDesign, and Small Space, Big Style, because I can picture myself doing those types of changes to my place. But I'm getting tired of Small Space, Big Style, because they've forgotten about the "small spaces" part. Just the other night they showcased two "small" apartments...that were 1000 square feet each. 1000 square feet? Sorry, that's not "small," even if it's two people living there. One person? It's a football field.

I'd like to see them focus more on really small city apartments and microapartments, places where you look in amazement at the cool things that people can do in a small space. There's some of that still, but there are too many episodes where they show people who have "small" apartments that are about 5 times the size of mine (note: mine is about 200 square feet). If any of these people who have "small" apartments of 1000 feet or more, I'll switch with them.
