In the series premiere, "Bringing the Outdoors In": The Doziers meet new clients from Texas, who just purchased a family home in the mountains.
Inspired by the property's location along the Rio Blanco River and surrounding national forests, Ben and Cristi will pull out all the stops to update the home and maximize its views of the great outdoors.

Kidding
Channel: S3
TX Time: 19h30
Genre: Comedy-Drama
Centers on Jeff, aka Mr. Pickles (Jim Carrey), an icon of children's television and a beacon of kindness and wisdom to America's impressionable young minds and the parents who grew up with him.
But when this beloved personality's family begins to implode, Jeff finds no fairytale, fable or puppet will guide him through this crisis, which advances faster than his means to cope.
The result: a kind man in a cruel world faces a slow leak of sanity.
Throughout the season, Jeff begins to push back against the limits of the well-oiled machine that is "Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time," and of his executive producer, Seb.
Seb fears Jeff's mental state could ruin the branding empire they've built, and thus begins preparing the show for a life after Jeff, while Deirdre, the head puppet maker, grapples with her own personal and professional life issues.
