“Fixer Upper” fanatics have been waiting with bated breath for the official launch of the Magnolia Network, the television and streaming channel curated by Chip and Joanna Gaines. For months, they’ve been teasing a mix of home and design, cooking, and gardening shows about “risk takers, creators, course changers, dreamers, and learners,” but the premiere on July 15 revealed the full extent of their programming—and their plans for the future.This week on “House Party,” Rachel and Natalie take a close look at the slate of shows currently offered on the Magnolia Network and serve up their no-holds-barred thoughts. Some of the series sound laughably banal (like “Making Modern With Brooke and Brice,” in which “a married duo renovates amazing homes”). Others sound impossibly niche (“Super Dad” introduces us to Taylor Calmus, a DIY expert who helps fathers realize their kids’ backyard dreams). Above all, Rachel and Natalie can’t help but wonder if—and how—many of these shows will find an audience.Other topics we discuss:We were so captivated by the first episode of HGTV's "Battle on the Beach" that we decided to recap Episode 2!
