Aleppo couples' experience on the home-buyer reality show will air at 8 p.m. tonight on HGTV.
The reality is, some first-time homebuyers have it easier. They find the perfect home, it passes an inspection and they purchase the place. Others, like Erik and Caley Svensson go through a much more complicated process – an experience that will play out at 8 p.m. tonight in front of millions of people on a segment of My First Place—the HGTV series documenting the adventures of first-time homebuyers. The episode titled, “Farmhouse Delivers Country Charm and Inspection Woe" follows the Aleppo Township couple on their quest last year to find the perfect home.

The show, which airs on HGTV, was filmed in August in the Mystic Ridge neighborhood.
Cranberry will be featured on television at the beginning of March, when the season premiere of "Showhouse Showdown" airs on HGTV.

The episode featuring McCandless residents Tim and Joy Kerrigan airs tonight.
After making five failed offers on Pittsburgh-area homes over a year’s worth of time, Joy Kerrigan began to doubt if she and her new husband Tim would ever find a place to call their own. “We would fall in love with a house, and then we would find out the next day it was bought by someone else who made a cash offer,” she said. “It was always a huge letdown when we got the phone call.” That is, until a reality television show provided some unexpected help. After learning crews from My First Place—the HGTV series documenting the adventures of first-time homebuyers—were filming in Pittsburgh, a friend sent the McCandless couple a link to the show with the suggestion they apply to be on it. Frustrated after yet another rejected offer, the …
