Go ahead, call it a comeback!

Any Trading Spaces aficionado will tell you the hit TLC show, which aired from 2000 to 2008, was just as much about the rotating cast of designers’ big personalities as it was about redecorating on a budget.

On Wednesday, TLC announced the lineup for the show’s forthcoming reboot after a 10-year hiatus, and almost every fan favorite from the original series is making a return. Joining host Paige Davis, who signed on in July, will be Doug Wilson, Genevieve Gorder, Hildi Santo-Tomas, Vern Yip, Frank Bielic, and Laurie Smith. Beloved carpenters Ty Pennington and Carter Oosterhouse will also be back.

Don’t cry because this season of Fixer Upper is over; smile because you can relive all its best moments right here.

The fourth round of the wildly popular series promised to be as full of Chip’s jokes, Joanna’s shiplap style and even more #couplesgoals cuteness as the three previous. And between the sweet family stories, unbelievable reveals and exciting updates (hint: they’re getting a new show!), the Hgtv hit did not disappoint. But if you need a Chip and Jo fix to hold you over until season five, here’s a collection of this season favorite moments.

As if your dog didn’t already run the house. Animal Planet has ordered new series “Animal House,” TheWrap has learned, which will follow Hgtv Design Star winner Antonio Ballatore — and his pooch Chewie, of course. The new show will see Ballatore (pictured above), his project manager Grace, and a team of designers “convert drab spaces into dream living arrangements for homeowners and their pets,” per the cable channel. “Animal House” (working title) is set to premiere in the third quarter of 2017 Also Read: 'The Vet Life' Renewed by Animal Planet for Season 2 - Watch a Teaser (Exclusive) Each week,...

Eighties icon Mr. T is returning to TV this year. The actor, who once even had his own Saturday morning NBC cartoon, will host Diy Network’s “I Pity the Tool,” a nod to his “A-Team” character’s catchphrase “I pity the fool.” See video: Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen Fight Over Kathy Griffin’s ‘Fashion Police’ Exit The original “B.A.” Baracus will lead a team to remodel a home for a family in each episode. Hgtv Design Star winner and interior designer Tiffany Brooks will join Mr. T, his arsenal of tools and his construction team of tough guys in the first season,...

Vern Yip confirmed to Access Atlanta that Hgtv has cancelled Hgtv Design Star. Yip said ratings were still good, so I’m guessing a bigger issue is that later seasons of the show never found a designer who matched the impact of David Bromstad.

Matt Smith says he’s already asking when Doctor Who will do a story featuring multiple Doctors, so he can return to the series. As long as they manage to keep these meetings of the Doctors from feeling commonplace, I’m all for it.

The Daily Beast declares that last week’s Modern Family wedding was a “landmark moment for marriage equality” for a variety of reasons. That includes Modern Family position as a mainstream hit, the fact that their wedding was a special episode but not a “very special” episode and that the couple involved were a regular characters with a prominent role every week.

We’re down to the final three, and this week, Britany, Hilari and Danielle meet up with mentor David Bromstad in a field, where’s he’s surrounded by yurts. David explains that in keeping with the Hgtv Design Star tradition of decorating untraditional spaces, (glass homes and tiny houses), the final three will design for a yurt. David explains that yurts are portable structure with round walls built on a wood lattice frame. They are originally from Asia and have been used for centuries.

The challenge is to turn their yurts into fantasy bedroom suites. They’ll have two days to complete the challenge, and they’ll have the help of some of Hgtv and Diy’s best known carpenters. Danielle is assigned Chip Wade, who I know from Curb Appeal the Block, but who apparently has his own show, Elbow Room. Britany will work with the “star carpenter” of Design on a Dime,...

Tonight’s episode of Hgtv Design Star finds the six remaining contestants battling to win a feature in an upcoming issue of the recently launched Hgtv Magazine. Synergy at its best! Hgtv Magazine editor-in-chief Sara Peterson will deliver this week’s challenge and finalists must create ultimate designer kitchens with a sink (yes, a sink!) as inspiration — alongside the show’s venerable host and season 1 winner, David Bromstad, who has contributed to the show variously over its seven seasons.

Bromstad was first a contestant, then a guest judge, and now, is the show’s host. And since he’s been...

Summer used to be a time when your TV choices were pretty limited. But then then the cable networks wised up and realized it was a perfect season to launch new programming, since their broadcast competition had little to offer besides reruns. As a result, the summer TV schedule now has enough to keep you thoroughly entertained - a relief on those days when the heat forces you inside and prostrate on the couch.

Whether your idea of great summer TV is light drama, ridiculous reality, supernatural angst or smartass comedy there seems to be something for everyone. Here are the new shows that have our curiosity piqued and the returning shows we're excited to see back.

Who are you most excited to see?...

There was a moment toward the end of Hgtv Design Star‘s Season 6 finale where I had a brief fantasy that the judges panel would get inspired by the recently concluded Glee Project and declare multiple winners. Imagine if they greenlit a show in which Karl conceived sophisticated rooms with daring paint choices, Meg picked out jaunty accessories and explained all of Karl’s various design techniques in her gravelly-perky fashion, and last week’s evictee Mark and His Biceps of Doom built small installations while working up a meaningful sweat. That’s worthy of a series recording slot on my DVR.

Karl Sponholtz

Team Gay's Karl Sponholtz is so close to being the next Hgtv Design Star he can smell it – and he got a good whiff of first season winner David Bromstad along the way, too.

"David smells amazing," Sponholtz said about the reality competition show's official mentor. "He loves to hug, and he smells really good when he's doing it."

Sponholtz, a Chicago-based designer for an architecture firm and freelance interior designer, didn't expect to find himself in the final two. Nonetheless, tonight he'll square off against fellow Chicagoan Meg Caswell for the Season Six crown in front of judges Vern Yip, Genevieve Gorder, and design queen Candice Olson.

"Like most people in this field, I was a victim of the recession," Sponholtz told AfterElton.com, "I had a lot of time on my hands, so I dropped off my application on the way to a party. I didn't...

I wondered for a hot second if this week’s episode of Hgtv Design Star would end in a Gladiator-style duel to the death. After all, returning judge Candice Olson (who’s been sorely missed all these weeks) seemed to be setting up a swords-and-sandals scenario when she asked our two finalists to turn toward each other, then declared the only thing standing between them and their own TV show was the person standing in front of ‘em.

Thankfully, Meg didn’t pull a shank on Karl, nor did Karl try to garrote Meg. Maybe the two of ‘em were...

We’re down to the final three contestants on Season 6 of Hgtv Design Star, and trying to decide who I want to win feels akin to staring at three paint chips — “Buttercream,” “Newborn Chick,” and “Lemon Drop” — and thinking, “I guess pretty much any of these would work.” Monday night’s episode found us saying goodbye to Kellie, who lost her mojo on a live episode of The Nate Berkus Show, but whose bigger crime was turning a set of rag rugs into poorly constructed barstool covers. I didn’t get why the judges praised the seats — “it’s a really great color story,...

Drama 1, Design 0. That was the depressing score at the end of Monday night’s episode of Hgtv Design Star, and the worst part was watching the judges pull shenanigans to try to justify their decisions.

Don’t get me wrong, Tyler’s “batik” wall was a mini-disaster in a challenge where teams of two had to transform a white box into one of four layouts (galley, L-shape, U-shape, and peninsula) and one of four styles (farmhouse, industrial, contemporary, and global). As the judges noted, Tyler’s big project ended up looking like the aftermath of a bad wallpaper-removal job. But...

Hgtv Design Star took a road trip to the Jersey Shore this week, but I’m pleased to report no hot tubs were befouled as the nine remaining contestants joined forces to renovate four bedrooms at a violently outdated bed and breakfast. In fact, the only part of the telecast that left me deeply disconcerted — aside from the ’80s leather sectional sofa in Meg, Mark, and Karl’s “before” room — was the presence of guest judge Kathy Ireland, who debuted a brand new language known as Cuecardanese.

Seriously, I can’t be the only one who got the bad chills...

When a reality-show contestant kicks off an episode with a grandiose declaration, you know he’s getting set up to experience either the thrill of victory, or the agony of defeat. On this week’s Hgtv Design Star, said contestant was Doug, who announced that he was going to make a “huge attempt” to let his design be the “hero” of the show. Unfortunately, the crusader in question arrived on the scene wearing a cape of hideous paint and wielding an arsenal of mismatched home furnishings, and thus wound up as the latest victim of the worst sendoff line of...

If you're like me, Hgtv Design Star managed to sneak up on you recently, and that's because you don't actually watch a whole lot of Hgtv. And, if you're like me, now that we have two episodes gone, you're really missing Clive Pearse. Nothing against new host Tanika Ray, although if you look at the show's homepage and try to find her (down on the left with a tiny picture), you may get the impression they know Design Star without Clive just feels weird.

At any rate, we just had the White Box episode, and it has proven to be the measuring stick it always is. Some designers still manage, somehow, to make utterly boring rooms, and some stood out as the ones to watch. It's always been the episode where viewers find out who they want to cheer on for the rest of the show, and who is going...

Hgtv Design Star brought back its iconic white-box challenge for Monday night’s episode, and while a few contestants filled their blank-canvases with dazzling colors, funky textures, and outrageous furnishings, others collapsed under the hefty freedom of being able to work with no boundaries.

Okay, maybe “no boundaries” isn’t the right term. For one thing, it conjures up memories of the lamest American Idol victory anthem in the show’s 10-season history. And secondly, the designers did, in fact, have to work with a few ground rules: They were allowed to use as much — or as little — of the...

Trying to pick the winner of Hgtv Design Star based on its Season 6 premiere would be kind of like envisioning an entire bedroom overhaul by flipping through paint chips at Home Depot. Most of what we got from Monday night’s hour were fleeting impressions of our 12 designers, but even some of those early opinions were upended by the time the credits rolled.

Among the random thoughts that went through my head as we met the contestants and watched them shoot 30-second introductory spots under the tutelage of mentor and fabulous Season 1 champ David Bromstad:

* I had an immediate...

Tonight at 9pm Hgtv Design Star returns for its sixth season. Hosted by Tanika Ray and mentor David Bromstad, who won the first season of Hgtv Design Star, will challenge and guide a new set of contestants competing for their very own show on the network.  To help kick off the show right BuddyTV is giving away an Amex gift Card.

David Bromstad is Hgtv's darling. After the nervous but extremely talented interior decorator won Hgtv Design Star in 2006, Bromstad learned to be comfortable in front of the camera. And now he's everywhere. From hosting his own series Color Splash to co-hosting duties on the new show Hgtv'd to appearances on specials like Hgtv Dream Home Giveaway and Bang for Your Buck, Bromstad has put his stamp on the network. And now he's returning to his roots as the Tim Gunn-Style mentor on Design Star.

In a recent conference call interview he confessed, "I’ve been watching Design Star since I won and [am] just in awe of the talent that has come through there. And now to be a part of it is just, it feels right. It feels amazing. And I had so much fun. It’s a true honor."

If you follow me at all, you probably know that I am something of a nut for reality competition shows. "Nut," because they have some appeal to me, regardless of what the particular subject is and/or whether or not it is anything I would watch a "regular" show about.

I have no real interest in becoming a chef, and don't watch cooking shows, but I watch all the various shows that put chefs in competition with each other. Likewise, I have little interest in fashion, interior design, or the cutting of hair, but most of these will get me to watch the reality shows.

Design Star is on its way back to you July 11th at 9/8c, and things are a little different this time around. David Bromstad, the season one winner, is going to take on the role of contestant mentor, apparently in something like a very similar...

Hgtv's breakout hit reality series, 'Design Star,' is getting back into an Empire state of mind.

The fifth season of the show returns to its original location, New York. But that's not the only change in store, according to judge Genevieve Gorder, who spoke to TV Squad by phone yesterday.

Gorder and fellow judges Vern Yip and Candice Olsen take on hosting duties from Clive Pearse. They get more involved in creating the challenges, following the contestants' work from start to finish and mentoring them throughout the entire design process.

A fabulous season is in store for viewers, one that was "a lot more fun," Gorder said.

Check out what else she had to say about 'Hgtv Design Star.'

Hgtv's top-rated reality competition, Hgtv Design Star, will return for a fifth season beginning Sunday, June 13, at 10 p.m. Et/Pt. Produced by Mark Burnett Productions, the series will feature 12 competitive and creative finalists executing ingenious designs, as well as a judging panel of acclaimed interior designers (Genevieve Gorder, Candice Olson and Vern Yip). The finalists will include professional interior designers, contractors, stylists, architects and artists, qwho all must navigate innovative design challenges and impress the judges--and special celebrity guests--with creativity and ingenuity until one wins their own show on Hgtv. The hour-long series, shot in NYC this season, will air on Sundays for 11 weeks through August 22. The last season ended September 13,...

Hgtv has signed Mark Burnett to take over the production of its highest-rated series, "HGTV Design Star."

The producer of "Survivor" and his team will work on the fifth season of the primetime series, taking over duties from 495 Prods.

"The Mark Burnett team is extremely creative and talented -- masters at crafting entertaining reality programming," said Freddy James, senior vp programming at Hgtv. "We expect that they will infuse 'Hgtv Design Star' with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that will serve as a blueprint for a successful fifth season."

The show follows a group of architects, artists, interior designers/decorators and design enthusiasts as they navigate difficult design challenges to win their own show on Hgtv.

Runner up Design Star Dan Vickery is a "Fan Favorite." Vickery, 26, an architect from Portland, Ore., and a runner-up in the hit reality competition Hgtv Design Star. He was selected by an online vote as the series' "Fan Favorite" designer. As the Fan Favorite, Dan has won the opportunity to host his own online design series on Hgtv.com. While the new series is expected to launch in early 2010, fans can visit the site within the coming week to view videos of Dan who will share his thoughts about the whole Hgtv Design Star experience, including the finale, the judges' decisions, favorite moments, and behind-the-scenes dish. He'll also reveal the topic of his new upcoming web series.

No surprise as set designer Antonio Ballatore, dubbed the "bad boy of design" by series judge Candice Olson, took the victory in last night's finale of Hgtv Design Star. A native New Yorker who is now based in Los Angeles, Antonio bested Dan Vickery, the designer from Portland, Oregon in the hardest challenge ever tackled in four seasons of the series -- where each finalist had to makeover an entire home, completing multiple rooms in just 44 hours. Set in Hollywood, the 4th season of Hgtv Design Star has performed well in ratings all season. Ballatore, 40, is a Below the Liner (crew) making his way in Los Angeles, and he has been crowned the season four champion.

Adult Swim garnered its best numbers in the adults 18-34 demo with Sunday night's episode of "Robot Chicken", while the season finale of HGTV's "Design Star" was off only slightly from last week against competition from the Emmy telecast.

"Robot Chicken" averaged 2.3 million viewers at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, including 1.3 million in 18-34, according to Nielsen Media Research. The demo number represents Adult Swim's most-watched original telecast ever in 18-34; it's also an increase of 70% compared with the same time period a year ago. "Robot Chicken"'s third season premiered in August; the second-season DVD was released this month.

Adult Swim's sister channel Cartoon Network drew 1.4 million viewers to the premiere of its first live-action series, "Out of Jimmy's Head", at 7 p.m. Friday. The show is a spinoff of Cartoon's live-action/animated movie "Re-animated", which premiered in December.

Meanwhile, the second-season finale of "Design Star", in which Kim Myles was named the top designer, averaged 3.1 million total viewers at 9 p.m. Sunday, off only slightly from last week's 3.3 million.

HGTV is moving forward with a third season of the reality competition series Design Star, which has broken network viewership records.

In addition, the Scripps-owned channel has ordered three more seasons -- or 39 additional episodes -- of Color Splash, the show hosted by Design Star's first-season winner, David Bromstad.

The third season of Design is set to debut in the third quarter. The show rewards one winning designer with his or her own series on HGTV.

The network said Friday that is it putting out a call for applications from potential contestants for Season 3.

The second-season finale of Design is set to air at 9 p.m. Sept. 16.
