This show really "tells it like it is", especially regarding the costs --particularly when "whatever can go wrong, does". It is a very good show .... BUT can someone please correct the names of the hosts? Karen is mom, Mina is the daughter!

Based in Indy with amazing shots of the city and the best duo HGTV has to offer, this show is second to none when it comes to home improvement series.

These ladies are awesome, funny, powerful, and talented! Their whole team is talented and hilarious. They make renovation fun to watch.

Good Bones follows a Mother-Daughter team that takes old or dilapidated homes in Indianapolis and fixes them up, thus helping revitalize a neighborhood. The two leads are very likable, and from what I've seen, the series doesn't contain a lot of forced and contrived drama and conflict that you see in such shows as Flip or Flop, or Love It or List It.They pick a truly run-down house, so you don't have to go through that staged, silly routine from other shows of "are they going to pick that one, or the other one?" The houses that I have seen are truly a mess, making the renovation very remarkable. You are also spared the presence of spoiled homeowners haughtily proclaiming their need for an open-concept, mega kitchen "for entertaining", knowing full well they'll probably be ordering from Pizza Hut most of the time.The team is very likable, especially the mother, Karen Laine, whose smile is infectious. They seem to have a good time doing the show and that matters.
