In one sense, the official news of the Chip and Joanna Gaines cable network — which will almost certainly be called “Magnolia TV” or something close to that, but for now has no name — is a bit anticlimactic. We knew last year after Chip and Joanna went on The Tonight Show to announce their…

Chip and Joanna finished filming Fixer Upper‘s final episode some time ago — but when will the episode actually air?

The only reason for our hesitation is we’re…

Though Chip and Joanna Gaines are known for telling heartwarming stories, the Fixer Upper Copp family episode might be the most feel-good of them all.

Fixer Upper rumors have become something of a cottage industry in the clickbait nethersphere over the past few months.
