Tiny House Nation is a new reality TV series on fyi network, featuring hosts John Weisbarth and Zack Griffin, who visit tiny house projects in progress.  The first episode, which aired July 9, follows a couple with a young child as they move out of a three-bedroom house into a 172-sq-ft trailer-based home they’re building.  The drama, such as it is, centers around the problems of getting rid of stuff.  The first episode is slow paced but may be of interest to those thinking of downsizing.
