Families battle for fantastic homes

“House Wars” (9 p.m., USA) combines addictive elements from the “reality TV” and shelter makeover genres. Four families set out to remake and remodel their own dream home, starting with a mere shell of a house. Each family team will be assigned their own designer/coach. They will renovate one room per week for an eight-week season, facing elimination along the way. The last family standing will get to keep the house they have just completed.
