Shea and Syd McGee from the Netflix original show Dream Home Makeover, which premiered its first season in October 2020, are the sweetest husband and wife duo streaming. Since 2014, they have been running two successful businesses. They've also written a highly-anticipated home design book, Make Life Beautiful. The successful hit reality TV show ran for four seasons, with the last season airing in 2022. However, their personal beliefs remain under wraps.

In Dream Home Makeover, the husband and wife team help individual families to find beauty in their homes and lives. Of the work they do, Shea said, "Whether our client has 2 million dollars or $20,000, I want them all to feel that sense of peace when they walk in the door." Shea is the aesthetic eye on the home-themed reality show, while Syd handles the marketing and financial end. It makes for a much more relaxing home and garden program than other shows like Selling Sunset.

Shea and Syd McGee are embarking on the third season of their popular Netflix show “Dream Home Makeover.” I spent some time with the makeover couple to talk about season 3 and why they are very thankful. They’re making life beautiful indeed. “Dream Home Makeover” season 3 is now available on Netflix. https://youtu.be/oCu6q52ZPpw

Netflix’s hyper-specific categories have become something of a punchline over the years. For every general collection of “comedies” and “reality TV,” there are ones like “critically acclaimed LGBTQ TV shows” (“Queer Eye” and “Tales of the City”), “Feel-Good Reality TV” (“The Great British Baking Show” and “Dream Home Makeover”) and “Oddballs and Outcasts” (“Sex Education” and assorted standup specials from men who were bullied in high school). At first, these subgenres just felt like cheeky ways to organize Netflix’s ever-ballooning library. Increasingly, though, it seems as if Netflix originals are pitched and written with an eye toward fitting into these esoteric characterizations.

So long, 2020, 2021 is here! Now that we’ve entered the New Year, the various major streaming services are starting January with a bang as they all have hefty hauls arriving this weekend. The first day of the month always sees a load of newly licensed titles go up across the platforms and that’s especially the case in January, as Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu and Prime Video have tons of great new movies and TV shows debuting this weekend.

For starters, there’s something for all tastes becoming available on Netflix on January 1st. We’ve got Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, animated comedy Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, both Sex in the City movies, Superbad, Bruce Lee classic Enter the Dragon, horror flick Gothika and not one but two films directed by Martin Scorsese, Goodfellas and The Departed, featuring DiCaprio again.

Winter is the new fall this Covid-impacted TV season. Because of the lengthy production shutdown in the first months of the coronavirus pandemic, Fox and the CW delayed the rollout of their regular fall 2020 lineups, and a slew of other series intended for fall 2020 debut also are slated to premiere in early 2021 instead.

With uncertainty surrounding production as Covid outbreaks frequently pause filming, a number of premiere dates are still Tbd, as networks and streamers often wait until last minute to set debuts so they are sure than the new seasons would be completed successfully.

That said, here’s our annual list of midseason/winter premiere dates for new and returning series. It covers hundreds of broadcast, cable and streaming programs debuting from today through March 31 and includes shows that were on hiatus and some one-off specials such as awards shows.

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts...

After binging the entire season of Netflix’s “Dream Home Makeover”, we had a bunch of questions for Shea and Syd McGee. One in particular plagued us a bit. So Shea is a rockstar interior designer, but what exactly does Syd do?

“Like in real life?” Syd, whose sense of humor shines throughout the episodes, responded.

“I oversee everything that’s, like, not pretty,” he explained. “So hiring, firing, managing the team, managing budgets, when the crap hits the fan…just kind of the general all-around running business, but then making the projects come together with whatever it takes from the backend, so Shea can deliver a pretty finished product.”

“I could put up a towel rack and it will stay up, but that’s kind of it,” Syd said.

That’s Ok, Syd and Shea have 110 employees. That leaves a lot of workers for Syd to oversee, and enough...
