Unreality TV: Real estate shows are still hot

MSNBC reports:

Real estate may have cooled considerably as an investment, but not real estate television.

House flipping and home renovation programs are still big hits on cable. While "for sale" signs sprout on lawns across the country, TV programmers are like developers who plow ahead with new housing projects anyway.

A new season of the A&E Network's "Flip This House" — one of a troika with TLC's "Flip That House" and Bravo's "Flipping Out" — premieres Saturday night.

Fantasy.
