When I was a kid, nothing was better than waiting for the Fall to come. Once school had
restarted, there were loads of great new TV shows that would come on! For ever night of the week we'd have the TV guide out and see what new show was on that particular evening. SOme shows were great, and others well just dissappointing. The dissappointing ones never seemed to make it to the next seasons! Great TV shows would always be around! Wll almost! My favorite show was Man From Uncle! I guess that lost some interest over time! Over the years, TV changed, and shows left the entertainmanet business and passed themselves off as psuedo learning tools. They really were neither. They gave just information to be dangerous! Sort of like going to a real estate seminar. To learn the real tricks and tips, you will need to buy my tapes and books!
Well, for the last few years on HGTV we've entertained and supposedly learned form a lot of TV shows that filled our insatiable anorexic needs for why we should buy real estate. We weree all like anorexic phiranias, and there was not enough information that we could amass! It was never enough! Even though I never really got into the reality real estate shows, Ti me they made no sense, and never addressed real issues of profit, commission and taxes. I would bet money that their popularity is waining right now. Home sellers with staged homes sitting on the market with cheap makeovers are starting to get annoyed at the reruns of successful sales of rso really dreadful looking homes! They've not quite learned the art of learning how to stage their homes with paints, and half ass cheap repairs that look like it was done by a do-it-yourselfer on a Wal-Mart gift card budget! Up close those do-it-your-self projects always look like you did it yourself anyway! The new waves of reality real estate TV shows should address the new realities in a variety of new shows. We are long overdue for some new entertainment, and waiting impatiently! Here are a few new reality TV shows I'd like to see:
- Flip this!
- CSI Mortgage Fraud
- Designed to Sell - Well Almost
- Flipping Intervention for Investors
- Marrooned in a home I can't sell!
- Survivor Real Estate Version
- Buy Me...Now!
- Design Wannabees
- This SOLD House
- Loan Hunting Trying to Find Financing
- What's with All the Houses?
- Simply Quit
- In Over Our Heads
How about:
From Hairdresser to Real Estate Agent
or
From Flipping Houses back to Flipping Burgers.
