While I would dearly love to mock TV's latest reality ride-along, I find myself charmed like a child by Monday's 8 p.m. ET series premiere on TLC.
The Unpoppables tracks the travels of the balloon design group New Balloon Art, stocking events around the country with cool balloon sculptures.
Like the Eiffel Tower. Fire trucks. Even stylish frocks.
Best of all: TLC's Unpoppables web site is stocked with how-to videos explaining the techniques of pinching and twisting that could make any of us a balloon-animal expert.
Start blowing!
(TLC airs new episodes of The Unpoppables Mondays at 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET, repeating at 11 and 11:30 p.m. ET.)
