Unexpected Business

I would highly recommend the first two seasons of this series. Funny, fun, and heartwarming as you get to know the regular customers at the rate the actors do. The nightly chats among the celebrities are cozy and inviting. There's a charm to the residents of both towns and you'll be sad to leave then when the 10 days is over.

Unfortunately, the third season isn't quite the same success. Perhaps being a North American means I don't find the stories of the California customers nearly as interesting, and the celebs' inability to effortlessly communicate means they don't get to know the community as well.

This isn't on the stars. The store choice was a mistake by the producers. Everyone's far too busy to do more than struggle through the days. Not one of them looks like they're having fun. The show was far more effective in smaller towns.
