New TV obsession

Clean Sweep is a dangerously clever twist on the DIY-home improvement show concept. Professional teams of organizers and decorators arrive at a particularly cluttered house and pit the house's occupants against each other in a bid to both unclutter the house and convert unwanted belongings to cash. It's based on the BBC's Life Laundry, which is a better show for several reasons, not the least of which is that it's shorter.

After I've seen more episodes of each I'll post a more in-depth review and comparison of each, but in the meantime I suggest you check out Life Laundry and Clean Sweep on BBCAmerica and The Learning Channel, respectively.
