Is it just me who noticed that some of this season's new shows feature REALTORS?

The main character is ABC's show called Cougar Town is a REALTOR and even if there is not enough time for the show to present details on her work, she was still portrayed as follows:

1) she is showing a house and falls asleep on the couch, because she partied too much the night before;

2) her assistant ordered her new open house signs with a  very revealing picture. As a result, teenagers in town are now steeling her signs....

The other show, "Modern Family", also features a REALTOR. He somehow notices that his son may help him make the sale and bring the son along...it all goes south, but again, we are all portrayed as not doing much to earn our money.

I wonder if that show on BRAVO with the three 20 year old guys selling $5mil+ properties in Hollywood is still on. That was another "amazing" portrayal of our profession and I wonder why it is not every teenager's dream to become a realtor...

There is only one positive spin that I can put to all this. When I was taking classes in publishing, the teacher said that a title like: "Man Was Bit by Dog" would attract zero interest compared to a title like " Dog Was Bit by a Man". Thus, only uncommon issues make the news and  I conclude that hard working realtors do not make the headlines nor will they ever be featured in (reality) shows.

Enjoy your (working) weekend!
