The show is designed to reflect the values and attitudes of the
audience, so that the audience identifies with the actors, the show,
and most importantly the sponsors. That's Marketing 101.

What does that tell you about the audience?

Homes cost a lot of money. I was picky too while house hunting.

I would be more interested in seeing some follow up shows. Does
anyone ever attempt to buy and remodel for the price indicated?
When it's all over, what did/does it really cost? Do they need Holmes
on Homes to get it done right?

Holmes on Homes is by far the BEST home show on.
I've NEVER seen him put a band-aid on anything.
Trading Places and the like could sure take many a lesson from that show

The home owner, after getting burned once typically only pays 10-20%
for what Holmes and company does in the remediation.

Oddly enough, on the cable-only house-flipping show I used to (briefly)
watch, the flippers seemed to be hand-picket to be utter morons. Maybe
this is to make the view feel smarter, in the "if that idiot can do it,
I can do it" way.

Of course they're scripted.

No contractor in his right mind would start a kitchen renovation by
taking a sledge to the cabinets and walls. First, they're easier to get
out in big pieces, second, you might be able to sell them, and third,
it's dangerous to swing hammers for no reason. It's all for show.

I remember one where they repainted the outside of a small apartment
building three times before the boss was happy with the color, spending
$20,000 instead of $7,000. That *had* to be for the TV viewer.

Most remodels and renovations go just fine (except for taking longer
than the customer wants). TV shows depend on conflict and tension.
Build the tensions throughout the show, then relieve it at the end for
a big, happy ending.

/HomeTime/ is the only show I can think of where almost everything goes
right, and that's because it's more a how-to-do-it-yourself show than a
drama. Did you ever notice that the flip shows *always* have a house
with major problems? A house that an intelligent person would rebuild
from the ground up? All those "hidden" problems allow the flipper to
"find" them later and overact "worry" for the camera. All the
"surprises" I've seen in the shows would have be found by a good home
inspector.

The real thing to worry about is how long it takes to find a buyer
after the work is done.
