HGTV's The Stagers - Do You Want A Third Season? It's Time To Let Them Know!

I hope that everyone has been enjoying Season Two of The Stagers as much as I have. I may not have been doing reviews of each episode as I did last season, but don't think that means I'm over the show; in fact, the complete opposite is true. I just found that writing the reviews was taking up a lot of my time.

Season Two is polished. The Stagers has really found its groove. The frantic pace of Season One has been left behind and replaced with a show that flows so well. It's tough to cram so much information, drama, and décor eye candy into one 30 minute episode (23 minutes if you remove the commercials) but the team at Paperny Films has managed to pull it off. Viewers aren't left feeling short of breath at episode's end from the velocity (although I still wish each episode aired for 1 hour).

The high drama has been scaled back and the focus is now more on the actual staging of each property, which is really what it's all about. We still get our little infusions of Matthew Finlason's trademark personality - good thing that hasn't been taken out as we all know that he steals the show.

In case you weren't aware, here's a little newsflash for you. At the recently held Leo Awards the following well-deserved awards were presented:

Best Information or Lifestyle Series: The Stagers - Producers: David Paperny, Cal Shumiatcher & Trevor Hodgson

Best Host in an Information or Lifestyle Series: Matthew Finlason - The Stagers.

Best Director in an Information or Lifestyle Series: Keith Behrman - The Stagers

Best Screenwriting in an Information or Lifestyle Series: Margot Daley - The Stagers

So here's what I'm thinking. Would you like to see another season of The Stagers? If so, let it be known to HGTV by commenting on this post. Let's make sure that they hear us! I know that they paid attention to the communal voice of Active Rain in Season One so if you want to see more, speak out now! Better yet, if you want a third season, also tell them what you'd like to see and what they could do to make it even better next year if they're back. You know the old expression "the squeaky wheel gets the oil", well, start squeaking!
