New show brings new life to old junk

There are food junkies, TV junkies and, well, just junkies. HGTV is introducing a new show, Junk Brothers that follows the escapades of two brothers who can only be described as junk junkies. Jim and Steve Kelley pick up furniture and other goodies left on the curb and give them new life: an old dryer morphs into a computer desk and chair; an abandoned bicycle becomes a ceiling fan. HGTV asked research firm Vision Critical to survey 1,600 nationwide respondents, aged 18 to 65 and found that 40% of Canucks have gone 'shopping' curbside so there might be an aud for this show. Junk Brothers runs Thursdays at 9:30 p.m., beginning April 6.
