Like most flipping shows on these networks, it's mostly nonsense. The costs are unrealistic. We learn nothing about arranging financing or making deals. And we learn next to zero about how renos are done. Plus, the wife's taste in colors is horrible. On the other hand, if you watch these shows as ''couples fooling around with houses'' this is an entertaining diversion. The couple has a good rapport and they have senses of humour. Some of the footage of Dave is like watching outtakes from a Christopher Guest movie. Much preferable to the FlipFloppers with Jerry Seinfeld's lookalike and his 46-toothed Barbie doll wife's 30-minute infomercial for their flipping seminars ''coming soon to an airport hotel conference room near you.'' Less grating than Teeth McGillivray's fantasy reno show. Less obnoxious than Tex and Edna Gaines (&Family) exercise in bad taste. Are there more? I've lost track.
