The Real Deal (2007)
Real Deal
I was so happy to See Richard and team trademark back. Because I love the business aspect of flipping houses for profit, and when team Trademark was absent for awhile I must admit I had watched the other show about flipping houses. I did also learn from the others, but they are not just in the same spirit. I love how Richard is not against other parties in the deal- he wants everyone to win. This doesn't seem to be true in competing shows, where they "grind" out every dollar they can from contractors and workers. I used to work at a bank, and the tellers could spot a counterfeits by the way they felt. This is because they were so used do dealing with real money. The same is true here, others seem like phonies after seeing the Real Deal! Welcome back!!
Flip This House (2005)
What happened to Richard and the gang?
I don't know what rating to give; Richard and Trademark I'd give a 10, this other knockoff shows get a 1 (that includes the Flip THAT house, an obvious me-too show). Was A&E just cost cutting or what? Did they think they could just copy Trademark's culture? Richard was an fair, compassionate business man that made the show interesting. No other knockoff show has accomplished what they do- show how to make money while working hard, planning, being productive and having fun and values at the same time. Richard and Trademark are the class act that the others are not. Why did A&E tinker with the best show on TV? I hope A&E comes around. When they do, it will go back on my TIVO as #1 priority for Season Pass. Till then its going off. (Note I have no affiliation with the show or Trademark except being their #1 fan.)
