6. House Hunters

This popular series has been around a long time as it now has 126 seasons under its belt — which is crazy! It’s also arguably one of the most well known shows on HGTV because of that fact. It has 13 spin offs which is pretty incredible for a single show. House Hunters first aired back in 1999 with 26 episodes and by 2015 447 new episodes aired. There are now said to be about 15 camera crews recording a new episode for House Hunters at any given time in the United States — safe to say this series has grown exponentially!

4. Ellen’s Design Challenge

Her talk show is one of the most popular and talked about shows on television, so it’s no wonder her design show is just as successful! The design reality competition show is still relatively new as it premiered in January 2015, but it’s been steadily climbing ever since. The show takes eight furniture designers and has them compete in various challenges to build new pieces of furniture. Ellen eliminates them one by one each week until one designer is left standing! The last episode of season 1 drew in a viewership of 2.3 million and season 2 is currently underway. Ellen’s Design Challenge draws in an average of 2.2 million which makes it the fourth best show on HGTV!

2. Flip or Flop

The future of Flip or Flop is uncertain ever since husband and wife, Tarek and Christina El Moussa, announced their split in December 2016. Their break up was a huge shock to fans considering the two host one of the highest rated HGTV shows together. Many wondered whether the show would be able to continue, but Christina and Tarek remain devoted to their show and, surprisingly, their ratings are higher than ever. Season 7 premiered in December 2016 with regular ratings, but by the end of January, the ratings nearly doubled from over one million viewers to just over two million! The average viewership for Flip or Flop is rated at 2.8 million! It’s unclear whether or not the show will return for a ninth season.

1. Fixer Upper

It’s no surprise that Fixer Upper lands in the number one spot on this list. The show has become the most watched series in the history of Home & Garden Television. Much of the show’s popularity has to do with the fact that its hosts, Chip and Joanna Gaines, are the most lovable couple! Not only are these two insanely talented when it comes to real estate, renovation and design, but they know how to put on a show and are the cutest couple to watch on-screen. This adorable duo are the perfect example of going from regular people, to HGTV stars and now full fledged celebrities! Fixer Upper premiered back in 2013 and by the second season it had become a full blown HGTV phenomenon. It rakes in a whopping viewership of 4.6 million at any given time and HGTV estimates their audience is now worth 25 million after all airings are considered!
