I love PBS. I feel like I learn more from watching it compared to network TV, which just repeats the same news stories. All of their shows are unbiased, and opens your eyes to different issues and perspectives. But I find Legacy List is a show that doesn't appeal to me. I've actually never watched it in its entirety. I noticed it comes on at midnight, and by that time I'm getting ready for bed. But it always seemed pretentious to me. Matt Paxton works with people who are downsizing by helping them organize and catalogue their heirlooms. Last night I took a moment to pay attention to the beginning of an episode, and this woman was moving to France. When I heard that, my first thought was okay, these people are rich. The opening of the show is sequences of the houses that people were moving out of. They're not from a low socioeconomic background, that's for sure. Their homes are just one level below a mansion. As can be imagined, they have A LOT of belongings to move with them. What I don't like, is how they only help rich people move. Like I guess if they were to help poor people, they wouldn't have enough possessions for it to fill up an hour slot on TV. If you search for the synopsis, it says he helps baby boomers. No wonder they have such large houses and so many antiques! They're at a time in their life where they're financially stable, more so than people who are just starting out in their career. Being in my early 30s, that could be why it's a bit boring for me. I think it'll be interesting to people from a certain demographic, but to me, it's just rich people who need help moving. The rest of PBS's shows are really fascinating though. Just skip this one.
