Good Ol' TV

I have recently been interested in a new TV show, well not really new, I watched the first season of it. It is now in its second season. The show is called "Flipping Out" and it centers around Jeff Lewis, a real estate speculator.

Now, if you don't know, I am a fan of drama filled TV. Matt B. can attest to this. We would frequent the TV for favorites like Cheaters and To Catch A Predator. If you give me seven delinquent roommates and put them in compromising situations, I'm in front of the TV watching it. I can't help it. I think that I get my dose of drama through TV. I'm not a very confrontational person and I'm not for real life drama, (if it doesn't involve me). So I rely on the quirky personalities that TV gives me.

Back to Flipping Out. Jeff is the main guy, he basically buys million dollar homes in the Los Angeles area and flips them to make a lot of money. Now I will say, he is very good at what he does. He can turn almost any dump into paradise. What makes the show good though is his personality. He is obsessive compulsive and everything has to be perfect. His obsessive compulsive makes him good at what he does but also makes him seem pretty crazy. He is able to visualize what things should look like. He just has lots of interesting issues and it would take me forever to write about his character.

He also has a couple of interesting employees work for him which drive him up the wall. He has trust issues and in a recent episode he installs a "nanny cam" to make sure his employees are working. Jeff is always thinking that his employees are taking advantage of him and are not working. And by not working I mean, not ordering lunch correctly or not picking up the three leaves that are hiding behind the garbage can in the back yard.

It's a very interesting show, and I think that if you have a thing for some drama type television, give Flipping Out a try. It airs Tuesday nights at 10 PM on Bravo. You could probably catch reruns but you would have to look those up.

Sincerely,
