Synopsis

People who know and work with Pete Nelson describe him as a tree whisperer. For his part, Nelson lets the trees do the talking. He's a world-renowned treehouse designer and builder, and this series documents the work he and his team of craftsmen—including his son Charlie—do to create incredible homes and businesses in nature's canopy. Pete uses a combination of science and art to realize clients' sky-high aspirations of magnificent multi-bedroom treehouses with elaborate kitchens and bathrooms, or simpler, peaceful one-room escapes. Other backyard escapes featured in the series include a spa retreat, a brewery, and a honeymoon suite. "We awaken that inner child who dreams of living among the trees," Pete says.

Bereamic Awesome Movie
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
letsgetmovingllc We (my husband, son and I) LOVED this show - genuinely nice guys that are incredibly skilled. Until the Pop ups. They are not funny, cute, witty or necessary. They are annoying, low brow attempts at humor. For us, they have made the show unbearable to watch. I thought this show was different. We will skim the future episodes, as my husband and son are planning to build a tree house. This show was just SOOOO perfect for them. I mostly enjoyed the interaction between Pete, his sons and the great workers on his team. I'm sure the pop ups are the reason the show is sadly tanking in the ratings. Other than the pop-ups, the show is really great!
Landon Clipp Treehouse Masters, in my opinion, is one of the more original shows out there. It follows Pete Nelson who owns Nelson Treehouse and Supplies which obviously builds tree houses for their clients which can range from families, zoos, museums etc. The show bears a striking resemblance to the old Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in where it follows the construction of these beautiful structures and then at the end reveals it to the family. The difference between the two is that Treehouse Masters does it for paying clients, where the Extreme Makeover did it for free for families in need.A lot of people seem to complain about the show being another case of the reality TV syndrome where things are scripted and unnatural. I don't see this at all. While certain parts may be scripted, they certainly don't distract from the show at all and I feel that these moments are kept to a minimum. Pete's quirkiness is really the driving factor and I think a lot of the humor you see on the show really does come from his personality, not a script writer. His inherent likableness is very refreshing, and he has a very innocent and childish (childish in a good way) sort of personality that really is one of the main attractions of the show.The only thing I find slightly annoying about the show is that during every episode, Pete just "happens" to get a call from someone needing tree house repair while he's in the middle of building one. He then goes on an excursion to repair this other tree house while the rest of his crew continues with the current project. The show tries to lie to you and say that these little side tracks are spontaneous and unscripted, but the fact remains that it happens every. Single. Episode. You can expect this to happen every single time you watch the show, and it's blatantly obvious that it was preplanned for the client to call him (or Pete to pretend he's receiving a phone call) during the filming of the show. I mean it's nice to watch Pete go to these other tree houses and do repair work, but it's slightly insulting to me when the show tries to pass it off as "chance" that he receives these calls for help (I also forgot to mention that these other tree houses sometimes just "happen" to be very close to where they're building. It's just an indication that it was planned ahead of time). Overall, I don't mind these excursions but I really hate that the show tries to lie to me that they didn't plan it ahead of time.So bottom line, this is one of the more original shows I've seen in a while and I feel it has a lot to offer. The lack of crude humor and sexual innuendos present in many reality shows (mainly to appeal to the lowest common denominator) is very refreshing, although I feel that this lack of it is expected with this kind of TV show. It's heartwarming to see the families' reaction and to gaze upon the beautiful creations that Pete makes. The people who give this show 1 or 2 stars for it seemingly being too scripted are likely just sour individuals who were dropped on their heads as a child. There's no reason to really hate this show and even if the scriptiness (is that a word?) puts you off, it certainly doesn't warrant giving this excellent show 1 star. I mean seriously? You need to chill out. I recommend it to everyone.
aidenevalt It seems like all of the shows these days are just fake and cheesy or just over the top obnoxious. This is definitely not one of these shows. Pete does a very good job hosting the show and makes it very entertaining. Some people may say that this show is boring but I strongly disagree to this. They did a good job at doing this they go through how they do the tree house. Pete nelson the host also obviously actually cares about how people feel.(unlike most actors.)so in other words this is a really good show (one of the few good shows left)and Pete does a very good job hosting the show. I would recommend this show to anyone. I really hope that they keep the show because all of the other shows are over the top.
firefly900 I am giving this a 3 purely because of the craftsmanship of the treehouses, they are very good and you cant take that away from the guy.... But we don't need yet another American TV show prattling on about the back storys of non important people.The backstory nonsense isn't as bad as say American Idol or the x factor, but its on par with American guns on Discovery.Why try to give us stupid drama? Just show the product!!!!And yeah OK, i get that people have passion about their desired industry but the main guy is just way too cornball to be taken seriously.I would avoid the show and browse the internet instead if you want to get your fix for treehouses.
