List of Friends episodes
"The Last One" is the series finale of the television sitcom Friends. The episode serves as the seventeenth and eighteenth episode of season ten; the episode's two parts were classified as two separate episodes. It was written by series creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman, and directed by executive producer Kevin S. Bright. The series finale first aired on NBC in the United States on May 6, 2004, when it was watched by 65.9 million viewers[1], making it the most watched entertainment telecast in six years and the fourth most watched overall television series finale in U.S. history, as well as the most watched episode from any television series throughout the decade 2000s on U.S. television. In Canada, the finale aired simultaneously on May 6, 2004 on Global, and was viewed by 5.16 million viewers,[2] becoming the highest viewed episode of the series, and also becoming highest-viewed and highest-rated episode ever in Canada for a sitcom.
The series finale closes several long-running storylines. Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) confesses his love for Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), and they decide to resume their relationship; and Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) and Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) adopt twins and move to the suburbs. The episode's final scene shows the group leaving their apartments for the final time and going to Central Perk for one last cup of coffee.
Prior to writing the episode, Crane, Kauffman and Bright watched finales from other sitcoms for inspiration. Kauffman found that she liked the ones that stayed true to the series. Filming took place at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California; part one was taped on January 16, and part two on January 23. The finale was well received by critics and the cast members.

Plot[edit]
Part 1[edit]
Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) and Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) pack the belongings of Monica and Chandler, who have accompanied Erica (Anna Faris) to the hospital. Rachel leaves Ross' bedroom after their apparent reunion in the previous episode. Erica gives birth to twins, much to the surprise of Monica and Chandler, who were expecting only one child. At his apartment, Joey shows Phoebe his house-warming gift for Monica and Chandler: a chick and duckling to replace the ones that died. Ross arrives and confesses to the pair that he slept with Rachel. Rachel emerges from her bedroom and, to his disappointment, tells Ross that their night together was "the perfect way to say goodbye".
Later at the Central Perk café, Phoebe convinces Ross to tell Rachel how he feels about her before she leaves for her new job in Paris. As he is about to tell her, Central Perk manager Gunther (James Michael Tyler) confesses his love for Rachel. Back at Monica and Chandler's apartment, Ross decides not to tell Rachel, for fear of rejection. She prepares to leave to catch her flight, but waits long enough for Monica and Chandler to return with the twins, named Erica (after their biological mother) and Jack (after Monica's father). After Rachel leaves, Ross has a change of heart, and Phoebe takes him in her taxi to follow Rachel to the airport.
Part 2[edit]
Joey returns to his apartment to fetch the chick and the duck he was hiding, but finds they have become trapped in the foosball table. Chandler and Joey decide to break it open when they cannot find any other way of getting the birds out. Phoebe's reckless driving gets her and Ross to JFK Airport and, after buying a ticket to get past security, they search the information boards for Rachel's flight number. When they cannot locate her flight on any of the information boards, Ross calls and checks the number with Monica but discovers they are at the wrong airport; Ross and Phoebe drove to JFK, while Rachel was flying out of nearby Newark Airport. Phoebe phones Rachel, who has already boarded her flight, to stall her for time. When a passenger (Jim Rash) overhears Phoebe saying there is a problem with the fictitious "left phalange" of the plane, he gets off the plane, prompting everyone else to leave. Chandler and Joey, who are emotionally attached to the foosball table, find they are unable to bear breaking it open, so Monica nonchalantly offers to do it for them. After they retrieve the birds, Chandler suggests Joey keeps them.
Phoebe and Ross arrive at the airport as Rachel boards the plane again. Ross tells her he loves her, but she is unable to deal with his confession and gets on the plane anyway. Ross returns home, dejected, and finds a message from Rachel on the phone. She explains her actions and decides to get off the plane, but the message cuts off. Ross panickingly tries fixing the answering machine, wondering to himself out loud if she got off the plane. From behind him, Rachel says she did. They kiss and get back together for good, both agreeing that this is where they want to be. The following morning, the friends gather in Monica and Chandler's empty apartment. With some time remaining before Monica and Chandler leave for their new house, the six all leave their keys to the apartment on the kitchen counter and decide to go for one last cup of coffee together, to which Chandler sarcastically quips, "Where?". The final scene is a shot of the apartment, panning round slowly from the living space to the front door.
Production[edit]
Writing and music[edit]
The series' creators completed the first draft of the hour-long finale in January 2004, four months prior to its airing on May 6. Before writing the episode, David Crane, Marta Kauffman and Kevin S. Bright decided to watch the series finales of other sitcoms, paying attention to what worked and what did not. Kauffman found that they liked the ones which stayed true to the series, and they found the finale of The Mary Tyler Moore Show to be the gold standard. The writers had difficulty writing the finale, and spent several days thinking about the final scene without being able to write a word. Crane said that they did not want to do "something high concept, or take the show out of the show".[3]
The music playing as the camera pans across the empty apartment at the end of the episode is "Embryonic Journey" by Jefferson Airplane. The song "Yellow Ledbetter" by the band Pearl Jam is also featured in the episode—after Rachel boards the plane for the first time—making it the first Pearl Jam song to be licensed for a television show. A spokesperson for the group said it was, "simply a matter of the show's producers asking permission".[4]
Filming[edit]
After filming on the finale concluded, Stage 24 at Warner Bros Studios, where Friends had been filmed since Season 2, was renamed "The Friends Stage".
The episode was filmed in Los Angeles, California on Stage 24 at Warner Bros. Studios, where Friends had been filmed since its second season.[5] The first part was taped on January 16,[6] and the second on January 23, 2004.[7][8] After the series finale, Stage 24 was renamed "The Friends Stage".[9]
A month before the filming of the final episode, Aniston said that with each episode it got "harder just to read the lines." She explained that the cast was "all just nerves and raw emotions [...] No one knows how to feel. We may need to be sedated on the last night."[10] The producers promised a tearful ending, and the cast admitted their crying was not faked when they filmed their scenes.[7] LeBlanc revealed it had been too much for him and the rest of the cast; he said Kudrow started crying first, and when he looked at Aniston and Cox they also appeared emotional.[11] Schwimmer, who LeBlanc thought was the "consummate professional", was also upset, so LeBlanc "just lost it."[11] Maggie Wheeler, who was Chandler's "on and off" girlfriend Janice, told People, "the entire cast had to go back and have their makeup redone before starting," and that Perry broke the tension by saying, "Somebody is gonna get fired."[8] Perry told the New York Daily News that he did not cry, "but I felt like I was about to for like seven hours."[12]
Although it was planned that some key scenes of the episode would be filmed without an audience in order to avoid leaks of plot spoilers,[13][14] the producers decided not to worry about the issue and filmed it all in front of the live studio audience.[15] The producers also instigated the rumor that multiple endings would be filmed; in fact, only one was planned and shot.[15]
At the start of each Friends episode filming, the cast would ordinarily be introduced to the studio audience one at a time, but this time the cast headed out for their pre-curtain bow together.[13] "That made me cry," said Diane Newman, who was the script supervisor of the show.[13] Among the specially invited audience of the taping were Hank Azaria, who played Phoebe's scientist boyfriend in several episodes over the years; David Arquette, who filmed his then-wife Cox and the others backstage with a video camera; and Wheeler. Missing was Brad Pitt, Aniston's then-husband; Pitt told the producers he wanted to be surprised when the finale aired on television.[8] Although some guests were invited, around 75% of the studio audience were 'ordinary' members of the public so that their reactions would be congruous with the rest of the series.[15] However, friends, family and colleagues of the cast and crew served as extras throughout the episode.[15]
Reception[edit]
Promotion, ratings and awards[edit]
"It may have been impossible for any one episode to live up to the hype and expectations built up around the Friends finale, but this hour probably came as close as fans could have reasonably hoped. Ultimately, the two-hour package did exactly what it was supposed to do. It wrapped up the story while reminding us why we liked the show and will miss it."
—Robert Bianco of USA Today on the series finale.[16]
NBC heavily promoted the series finale, which was preceded by weeks of hype.[17] The top price for a 30-second commercial during the U.S. broadcast was approximately $1 million USD.[18] Viewing parties were organized by local NBC affiliates around the United States, including an event at Universal CityWalk featuring a special broadcast of the finale on an outdoor Astrovision screen.[19] It was shown in New York City, where over 3,000 people watched it on big screens in parks.[20] The finale was the subject of two episodes of Dateline NBC, one of which ran for two hours. Prior to the airing of the episode, a one-hour retrospective of clips from previous episodes was shown. Following the finale, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno was filmed on the set of the Friends' Central Perk cafe, which featured the series' cast as guests.[21][22] The advertising rates for the finale averaged $2 million for 30 seconds of commercial time. This currently remains as the largest advertising rate ever for a sitcom, breaking the previous record held by the Seinfeld finale at $1.7 million.[19][20]
The finale was watched by 65.9 million American viewers[1] making it the most watched entertainment telecast in six years, and the most watched episode of the decade 2000s on U.S. television.The Friends finale was the fourth most watched overall series finale in U.S. television history, behind the finales of M*A*S*H, Cheers and Seinfeld, which were watched by 105.9, 84.4 and 76.3 million viewers, respectively. The retrospective episode was watched by under 36 million viewers, and the finale was the second most-watched television show of the year, behind the Super Bowl.[21]
The episode was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards at the 56th Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Multi-Camera Sound Mixing for a Series or Special and Outstanding Multi-Camera Picture Editing for a Series, but lost to the final season of Frasier in both categories.[23][24][25]
Critical reviews[edit]
Robert Bianco of USA Today described the finale as entertaining and satisfying, and praised it for deftly mixing emotion and humor while showcasing each of the stars.[16] Sarah Rodman of the Boston Herald praised Aniston and Schwimmer for their acting, but felt that their characters' reunion "felt a bit too neat, even if it was what most of the show's legions of fans wanted."[26] Newsday's Noel Holston called the episode "sweet and dumb and satisfying,"[27] while Roger Catlin of The Hartford Courant felt that newcomers to the series would be "surprised at how laughless the affair could be, and how nearly every strained gag depends on the sheer stupidity of its characters."[28]
The finale was "exactly" what David Schwimmer had hoped for.
An editorial in USA Today highlighted the view of many critics who found problem with the aging cast, commenting, "Friends was getting creaky even as it remained popular."[29] Heather Havrilesky of Salon.com said that despite the "nauseating hype and the disappointing season and the lackluster finale, it's important to remember what a great show this was for such a very long time."[30] Ken Parish Perkins of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram gave the finale a B grade, calling it "more touching than comical, more satisfying in terms of closure than knee-slappingly funny."[31]
Response from the staff[edit]
The cast members reportedly got together in Los Angeles to watch the finale.[20] It was well received by the main cast, who were confident that the fans would have the same reaction. David Schwimmer said, "It's exactly what I had hoped. We all end up with a sense of a new beginning and the audience has a sense that it's a new chapter in the lives of all these characters."[3] At the taping of the episode, the cast and crew passed around yearbooks, custom-made by the production staff, and signed them for each other. The cast gave the producers inscribed Cartier SA watches, while the producers gave the cast Neil Lane jewelry.[8] As the sets were broken down, the cast and crew each got a chunk of the street outside Central Perk in a glass box as a keepsake.[7]
There were 3 separate wrap parties - a dinner at the Aniston-Pitt residence on January 19, 2004, a sit down at cast hangout Il Sole in West Hollywood on January 22, and a big party for 1,000 guests on January 24 at Los Angeles' Park Plaza Hotel.[8] At the party at the Park Plaza Hotel, The Rembrandts performed the theme song of Friends, "I'll Be There for You", and the cast gave a re-enactment of the pilot episode's first scene.[8]

Corchorus is a genus of about 40–100 species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae, native to tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world.[1]
Different common names are used in different contexts, with jute applying to the fiber produced from the plant, and mallow-leaves for the leaves used as a vegetable.

Description[edit]
The plants are tall, usually annual herbs, reaching a height of 2–4 m, unbranched or with only a few side branches. The leaves are alternate, simple, lanceolate, 5–15 cm long, with an acuminate tip and a finely serrated or lobed margin. The flowers are small (2–3 cm diameter) and yellow, with five petals; the fruit is a many-seeded capsule.
Taxonomy[edit]
The genus Corchorus is classified under the subfamily Grewioideae of the family Malvaceae. It contains around 40 to 100 species.[2]
The genus Oceanopapaver, previously of uncertain placement, has recently been synonymized under Corchorus. The name was established by Guillaumin in 1932 for the single species Oceanopapaver neocaledonicum Guillaumin from New Caledonia. The genus has been classified in a number of different families including Capparaceae, Cistaceae, Papaveraceae, and Tiliaceae. The putative family name "Oceanopapaveraceae" has occasionally appeared in print and on the web but is a nomen nudum and has never been validly published nor recognised by any system of plant taxonomy.[3]
The genus Corchorus was first described by Linnaeus in his great work Species Plantarum (1753). It is derived from the Ancient Greek word κόρχορος or κόρκορος (korkhoros or korkoros) which referred to a wild plant of uncertain identity, possibly jute or wild asparagus.[4][5]
Uses[edit]
Fiber[edit]
Main articles: Jute and Jute cultivation
The fibers from Corchorus (known as jute) are the most widely cultivated vegetable fiber after cotton.[6]

Corchorus aestuans in Hyderabad, India.
Corchorus leaves are consumed in the cuisines of various countries. Corchorus olitorius is used mainly in the cuisines of southern Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and West Africa, Corchorus capsularis in Japan and China. It has a mucilaginous (somewhat "slimy") texture, similar to okra, when cooked. The seeds are used as a flavouring, and a herbal tea is made from the dried leaves. The leaves of Corchorus are rich in betacarotene, iron, calcium, and vitamin C. The plant has an antioxidant activity with a significant α-tocopherol equivalent vitamin E.[citation needed]
In North Africa and the Middle East, the young leaves of Corchorus species are known in Arabic as malukhiyah and are used as green leafy vegetables . Malukhiyah is eaten widely in Egypt and some consider it the Egyptian national dish. It is featured in cuisines from Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Tunisia. In Turkey and Cyprus, the plant is known as molohiya or molocha and is usually cooked into a kind of chicken stew.[7] The leaves of Corchorus have been a staple Egyptian food since the time of the Pharaohs and it is from there that it gains its recognition and popularity. Varieties of mallow-leaves stew with rice is a well known Middle Eastern cuisine.
In Nigerian cuisine, especially amongst the Yorubas, it is commonly used in a stew known as ewedu, a condiment to other starch-based foods such as amala or added with gbegiri a local nigeria soup. In Northern Nigeria it is known as Ayoyo. They use it to cook a sauce called (Miyan Ayoyo) which is commonly served with Tuwon Masara or Tuwon Allebo.
In Ghana, it is mostly eaten by the people in the North and it is called ayoyo. It is mostly eaten with Tuozaafi (food prepared with cornflour).
In Sierra Leone it is known as krain krain (or crain crain) and is cooked as stew. The stew is usually eaten with rice or foofoo (a traditional food made from cassava).[8][9]
Jute leaves are also consumed among the Luhya people of Western Kenya, where it is commonly known as mrenda or murere. It is eaten with starchy foods like ugali, a staple for most communities in Kenya.[10] In Northern Sudan it is called khudra, meaning "green" in Sudanese Arabic. The Songhai people of Mali call it fakohoy.
In India, it is locally known as nalta sag. It is a favorite food during the summer months, especially in Sambalpur and the western part of Odisha. Usually it is lightly sauteed and eaten along with rice or rice gruel.
In the Philippines, C. olitorius is known as saluyot. It is commonly consumed as a leafy vegetable together with bamboo shoots.[11]
In Thai cuisine, the leaves of the Corchorus olitorius (locally known as bai po; Thai: ใบปอ) are eaten blanched, together with plain rice congee. The taste resembles that of spinach and samphire.

Property Brothers is a Canadian reality television series produced by Cineflix, and is the original show in the Property Brothers franchise. The series features identical twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott.[1] Drew is a real estate expert who scouts neglected houses and negotiates their purchases. His brother, Jonathan, is a licensed contractor who then renovates the houses. Together, the Property Brothers help families find, buy, and transform fixer-uppers into dream homes on a strict timeline and budget.[2][3] The show has aired in over 150 countries, including on the W Network in Canada and on HGTV in the United States. In January 2016, Cineflix renewed the show for 52 more episodes.[4]

Development[edit]
Drew was offered a gig as a host of a real estate competition show that ultimately didn't materialize.[5] Cineflix, however, wanted Drew for a show tentatively called My Dream Home, with the intention of finding a female co-host.[6] When they learned he had a brother who was also in real estate,[7][5] the production company asked the brothers to make a sizzle reel.[8] Jonathan and Drew submitted a video of themselves making over their older brother's living room.[9] Six months went by before Cineflix responded favorably, and a week later they began filming a pilot for the show in Toronto.[8][10] Originally, the production company wanted Drew to work as the contractor because of his physique; however, when they realized that Jonathan was licensed, they switched the roles.[11]
Cineflix searched for a distributor, and six months went by with no offers. But then, off the strength of the pilot, the W Network in Canada ordered a full season,[10] while HGTV initially passed.[10] When HGTV noted the show's success in Canada, however, they chose to condense the existing episodes to 30 minutes and air them on a trial basis.[10] After the show scored number-one ratings for its timeslot, the network picked the show up for distribution in the US.[10]
Premise[edit]
Using the expertise of the Scott brothers, prospective homebuyers find a "fixer-upper" and remodel it into their dream home while staying within their budget. The featured families and individuals are often working towards a deadline, like the birth of a child or a special occasion. Originally, each episode started with Drew showing potential homebuyers a house with everything on their wish list, only to later reveal that the house was outside of their reach financially. However, beginning with season 6 (10),[N 1] Drew began to explain from the start that the home would exceed their budget, and should only serve as inspiration. In either scenario, Drew and Jonathan then highlight the advantages of purchasing an older home. Afterwards, Drew takes the buyers on a tour of homes that are significantly less ideal, but have renovation potential, and the buyers are asked to narrow their choices down to two. Jonathan then uses computer-generated imagery to illustrate his imagined vision for the homes after significant renovations. The graphics are made by an outside company using Neezo Renders software at a cost of about $10,000 per episode.[12][13] After the family makes a final decision, Drew leads them through the process of bidding on and purchasing a home. Once a purchase is made, Jonathan and his team begin renovations. After the initial demolition, the family is kept away from the site, and are brought back at the conclusion for the final reveal.
Production and distribution[edit]
Original logo
The show's producers choose cities for filming based on a variety of factors including fan interest,[14] proximity to a major airport,[15] and diversity of architecture.[15] As is typical of home improvement shows with an accelerated renovation format, three experienced crews work on the house in tandem to finish within the four to seven week timeline.[2] The brothers hire local design, real estate, and construction companies in the cities where they film.[16] Additionally, building permits are typically ready prior to construction, and the brothers' projects take priority with their suppliers.[17][13] The buyers own the property and pay for the remodeling, but the show is able to provide about $20,000 to $25,000 worth of cash and furnishings.[14][13] The brothers do not charge for their services.[13] The total budget presented is for the three or four rooms featured on the show; the rest of the renovations are done off-camera on a separate budget and timeline.[13]
Persons interested in appearing on the show must come up with a shortlist of homes or a home they plan to buy, though Drew provides additional options, and reserves the right to reject their selection if the home is unsafe.[18] Producers screen applicants for their ability to make quick decisions and their availability to film for at least eight weekdays during the project.[19] Individual applicants must appear on the show with a "sidekick," whether it be a partner, friend, or family member.[20] While financial requirements for applicants vary from season to season,[13][19] the casting call for filming that will begin in March 2018[needs update] requires applicants to have a renovation and design budget of at least $90,000 with an additional contingency for unexpected expenses.[20]
The brothers have maintained that their shows are not contrived or scripted.[21] Homeowners are not provided with storylines or dialog, and unforeseen construction challenges are real.[22] Additionally, the homebuyers work with real project budgets.[2] However, the brothers concede that conversations may be re-shot and incidents may be reconstructed due to disruptions on set (e.g. a plane flying overhead), to highlight how protracted problems were resolved, or because the cameras did not capture the real-time shot.[23][24]
The show started out in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[25] Season 3 (4)[N 1] of the show was filmed in Austin, Texas for seven episodes,[26] and in Canada for the rest.[14] Part of the reason for the move was the fact that American audiences couldn't relate to the higher market prices in Canada.[13] The brothers returned to their hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, to film in 2013.[17] In 2014, the show filmed several episodes in Atlanta, Georgia, and in Toronto. Between 2015 and 2016 they filmed in Westchester County, New York.[27][28] In 2017, they have been filming in Nashville, Tennessee, and in Toronto.[29][20]
Property Brothers debuted on the W Network on January 4, 2011, and aired on the channel until its owner, Corus Entertainment, decided to shift the channel's focus to more dramatic content.[30] Starting with 2017/2018 broadcast season, the show began to be broadcast on HGTV Canada in its country of origin.[30] It airs on HGTV in the United States, and with other distributors in over 150 other countries,[24] including Australia, Italy, France, Denmark, Spain, Norway, and South Africa, as well as countries throughout Latin America and Asia.[31] The show is also carried on streaming services such as Hulu,[32] Amazon Video, and Netflix (in some regions).[33] The program is dubbed in Portuguese for some markets,[34] as well as in Spanish, where the voices of both brothers is provided by the same voice actor.[33][35] Though Corus Entertainment commissioned and developed the program, the company did not take an ownership stake in the series or the concept, so did not see any revenue from international broadcast sales or from spin-off series in the franchise.[33]
The W Network worked with advertisers to generate revenue for the program. Scotiabank has been a sponsor.[36] In 2014, Mazda Canada Inc. announced a sponsorship in the form of embedded marketing (through product placement and story integration) to span all 13 episodes of season 4 (7)[N 1] filmed in Toronto.[37] The sponsorship also included broadcast and internet ads, billboards, and a contest on the W Network for viewers to win one of three C$5,000 prizes for their homes, a strategy designed to direct traffic to the Mazda website.[37]

Both brothers are licensed real estate agents (Drew is a licensed agent with Keller Williams Elite in British Columbia).[25] Jonathan is also a licensed contractor.[38] Before going into real estate as a profession, however, the brothers tried acting, including minor roles in Breaker High, Smallville, and The X-Files.[35] Drew aspired to be an actor, while Jonathan sought a career as an illusionist,[7] but they began working in the real estate and design fields to financially support themselves as entertainers.[7] In 1996, they bought their first house as 18-year-old university students and, after renovations, sold it a year later for a $50,000 profit.[39][40] In 2004, they founded Scott Real Estate, Inc., a company that oversaw the sale and construction of residential and commercial projects, and that eventually had offices in Vancouver, Calgary, and Las Vegas.[3] While their business did well, after ten years went by with little to no acting jobs Drew decided to return to acting full-time.[41] In 2009, he was finally approached for what would become Property Brothers.[35] At the show's start, the twins had managed real estate holdings for 15 years.[38][35]
Reception[edit]
Within three weeks of its HGTV debut in the United States, the show was the top rated of the night.[42] By 2015, Property Brothers had seen a 77-percent increase in ratings on the W Network over its premiere season.[43] The fifth season attracted more than 10 million US viewers on HGTV in the 25–54 age demographic, and the series consistently ranked as a top five cable program among upscale women in the 25–54 age group.[44] By 2017, Property Brothers remained one of HGTV's highest rated shows, was HGTV's number three primetime show, and averaged 2 millions viewers per week.[45]
Consumer Reports put it on its list of best home improvement shows, saying, "We all wish Drew and Jonathan were our big brothers—and that they’d help us find our dream home."[46] Critics of the show have remarked that the high-budget home purchases and renovations are "out of touch" with the changing housing markets that favor rentals, though Kathleen Finch (an HGTV executive) has said that so-called "hatewatch is part of the appeal" of the show.[42]
Property Brothers has drawn notice from multiple awards. After being nominated in 2011, Drew and Jonathan won the 2012 Leo Award (the awards program for the British Columbia film and television industry) for "Best Host(s) in an Information or Lifestyle Series" for Property Brothers.[47] In 2012, they were nominated for a Rose d'Or award in the lifestyle show category.[13][48] The show has been nominated for a Cablefax Award and for Outstanding Structured Reality Program at the 2015 Emmy Awards.[49][50]
The program has had an impact on popular culture, and has been the subject of multiple jokes on Brooklyn 99,[51][52] Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,[53][54] The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,[55] and Saturday Night Live.[56][57]
Episodes[edit]
Main article: List of Property Brothers episodes
For its duration, Property Brothers has been produced by Cineflix and distributed by Corus Entertainment. HGTV (a property of Discovery, Inc.) has since joined the program in production and as an international distributor, however, has broadcast the show's episodes on a separate schedule. The chart below follows Cineflix's season schedules and Corus's air dates.[58][59] In January 2016, Cineflix renewed the show for 52 more episodes.[4]
On November 9, 2015, the brothers hosted an hour-long special, The Property Brothers: 100 Episodes & Counting, ahead of its 100th episode.[60] The special highlighted their favourite moments from the preceding 99 episodes, and was accompanied by the release of the Property Brothers Handbook, an mobile app that includes design tips, multimedia from the show, and "inspirational photos".[60]
