Fixer Upper is an HGTV show featuring Chip and Joanna Gaines of Waco, Texas, who own the local Magnolia Homes (a business dealing in both realty and home renovations). The Gaineses specialize in finding run-down homes in otherwise affluent neighborhoods and renovating them for clients who might not otherwise be able to afford other homes in said neighborhoods.Each episode focuses on one client (usually a married couple, but a mother/daughter pair and at least two singles have also been featured), who for various reasons wishes to move. The Gaineses show the couple three homes in various conditions and explain what could potentially be done to each one given the couple's purchase and renovation budget. The couple then chooses a house and the crew immediately gets to work demolishing the inside of the house. The rest of the show alternates between actual work on the house, segments featuring the Gaineses in their day-to-day life, and meetings with the couple in which Chip and Joanna get the clients' input on additional touches to the house with any extra money left in their budget. Each episode ends, of course, with The Reveal of the family's newly renovated home.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The last original episode on HGTV appeared in 2018, though the show continued in reruns. In 2020, Chip and Joanna announced the show would be revived on their new Magnolia Network channel, under the name Fixer Upper: Welcome Home. The show started airing in 2021 on the Discovery+ streaming service along with other Magnolia Network shows; the Magnolia Network replaced the DIY Network cable channel in January 2022.

The couple opening their eyes to see a life-sized picture of what their house used to look like, before Chip and Jo pull it away to reveal the real thing after the commercial.

Celebrity Edition: The show had a couple during its final HGTV season. One featured Chip and Joanna teaming with ex-NFL player Tim Tebow to remodel a house for a family with special-needs children; and the show finale featured a house being remodeled for Mike Hererra, frontman of the pop-punk band MxPx.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Chip is a highly skilled and an extremely talented contractor. He also has the personality of a hyperactive 12 year old.

Bizarrchitecture: One house pre-remodel featured two bathrooms separated by a doorway which could be opened to allow two people to hold hands while on the toilets.

Christmas Episode: The Gaineses convert a house from the 1880's that was previously passed up by another couple into a bed and breakfast. Call-Back: As mentioned, this episode features a house passed up by a couple in an earlier episode, and is then called back itself on the season finale when the Gaineses renovate the adjacent house on the same property for the couple that will be running the bed and breakfast.
