The Overview: What’s Happening This Week on HGTV

Move over quiet TV weeks
 this lineup is packed. We’ve got a “Rock the Block” Season Premiere kicking things off, new episodes of fan favorites like “My Lottery Dream Home” and “Renovation Aloha,” plus a brand-new series premiere with “World’s Bargain Dream Homes.”

Add in “Home Town,” “Property Brothers: Under Pressure,” and a late-night “Tropic Like It’s Hot” moment, and HGTV is basically saying: sleep is optional.
