If my neighbors called a TV show, I'd happily accept the free help and money. I would return the favor at another time. I would start a show called "Rebuild My Neighbor's Burnt Down House and Laugh at Their Lost Memories."

Granted I keep my house up, and hate eyesores. But this show sucks.

I agree to a point as half these shows should be called "Don't wanna get off my lazy ass and clean up my house and yard!"

REALLY?

-The cat piss on the carpets isn't going to help sell the house
-The dirt patches in the yard don't look good
-The broken doorbell and unpainted front door give a bad first impression!
-Fresh paint looks better! NO!

I think that's part of my anger. The fake shock and anger. I love Flip this House, because it's mostly about completing a job. There's not as much involvement with the stupid.

When they have the follow up show called 'Watch me perform the warranty work, pay the transfer taxes and see my real profit" then I will give them some credit. That includes Holmes on Homes.

Holmes is a god, and has never done anything wrong, I believe. He is pure good.

I see him walk in and "This guy didn't do this right" which I know is an issue many times.

I try to look at things and figure why something was done that way. Did the previous guy try to cut a corner? or did they just not know what they did?

When you build a house, you can't see every single thing and every single guy that pounds a nail in a house is not a master carpenter, plumber, etc. While some might tell you, "Dat's why you use union guys" thats works well, if you want to pay 39% more for a house than everyone else did and never sell it for a profit.

And Mr Holmes rarely discusses $$$$? I see a little mold there..."What we can do is rip out all the walls and redo your house"
