Discussion about
Saw the previews for Bravo's second season of "Million Dollar Listing." Sticking with their ever-more tried and true formula of producing what their viewers want, Bravo has abandoned overweight and callogen-lip-plumped geriatric realtors in favor of following hard-bodied, bitchy L.A. twenty-something twinks who claim to sell $80MM worth of homes a year in SoCal. What does this have to do with NYC real estate? Absolutely nothing. But it promises to be a lot more fun to watch than reading another word about rent vs. buy formulas.

Didnt that show cover home sales in affluent part of NJ at one point or am I confusing it with a similar show.

Love it! ta - you are thinking of HGTV's "Bought & Sold" - there was that one episode where that agent showed up with the most ostentatious gift basket at a $3MM+ mansion to bribe the owners into giving him the listing.

I get my shows confused. There's so many of them.

Bravo is gayer than the gay channels for ages now: Project Runway, Flipping Out, Shear Genious, and who can forget "Boy Meets Boy," "Queer Eye for the Srt8 Guy,"...

"Project Runway is leaving Bravo for Lifetime."

Let us hope they know who their audience is.

Hey: Who has TV industry ties? Pitch this: Bravo should host a show where the frequent posters on Streeteasy get together and scream at each other once a week like the McLaughlin Group!

Of course, they'd have to pay personal trainers to get us ready so we can do it shirtless.

Kylewest, LMAO.

But I think I'd just rather imagine some of my interlocutors rather than really know who they are. When I find out the Sneaky Pete is actually a little old lady from Pasadena who has nothing to do but claim she's a young, wealthy, vibrant man with with a runway model/actress/singer/songwriter/puppeteer wife, multiple trophy properties on the Lower East Side (imagine that!), a mansion next to Celine Dion in Las Vegas, his own television production company and a chauffeur-driven Prius, I will be sorely disappointed.

Eureka! Sneaky says he has his own television production company. Pitch the idea to him and/or her (if he really is a little old lady in Pasadena). Then he or she can star in it, too!

Million Dollar Listing only covers the Malibu area. "Bought and Sold" showed high end houses in northern New Jersey.

Manhattan deserves it's own real estate show. NBC has "Open House NYC" but it's BOOORRRRRING!

I'm working on designing an interesting Manhattan-based real estate TV show (I am an experienced real estate journalist, so this isn't just "I'm a broker, I want a TV show")

The problem really is the visuals.

Without visuals of real estate, you've got a show where someone is sitting at a desk and doing a talk show. Once you need visuals, you end up creating a show that shills so you can trade promotion of the listings for free images -- and that generally ends up being boring.

Also, no decent co-op worth its salt is going to let a TV crew in, and what's the fun of doing a NYC real estate TV show if you can't show the Dakota?

front_porch, oh that's easy, just use steve's rental apartment. It has a Central Park view, views of the Hudson and East River, is located in the West Village, Gramercy, and the UWS, has a 2500sf terrace with 16 exposures, a swimming pool, lives next door to Hanna Montana, a swing set, movie theatre and, of course, granite counter tops. All for only $4500 a month. He has also has experience doing comedy, so he may work as a co-host, as long as he gets rid of the man boobs before he takes his shirt off.

I totally want to see that StreetEasy "McLaughlin"-type show. Lots of characters on here could be the Pat Buchanan, that's for sure! (In terms of temperament, if not politics.)

I forgot to ask - did they actually make out? Because I saw the commercials and, despite being gay myself, decided that it was waaaay too catty for me. I prefer the old brokers they had on last season - at least you know they worked!

I don't think they'll almost make out until the season finale. It'll be a Ben-and-Ronnie type thing like from "Make Me A Supermodel," except more of a three-way situation.

They seemed so obnoxious on the commercials that I have no desire to watch, not even for the soft porn.

I've got to say, Kylewest, your headline for the op does capture a fantasy...

I think it's more of Fox Reality Show, though. Maybe Shepherd Smith and Bill Hemmer can co-host.

"Playing It Straight" was Fox, wasn't it? Weird. So gay at times and so...Sean Hannity at other times.

"Shepherd Smith and Bill Hemmer"

Fags both.

As is the Fox weatherman. First-hand knowledge.

ali, the Fox guy is very good looking, especially when he takes his shirt off. HOWEVER, he's gayer than Sam Champion.

"what next a cooking show."

How about an infomercial? Maybe for some new excercise equipment that targets man boobs. Could call it the moobinator.....

Steve--Mike the channel 5 weather guy is gay? Say it ain't so. At least tell me the hot peruvian traffic chick's a lesbian with the hot korean girl.

Sam Champion is gay? Next you'll be telling me Tim Gunn is queer. Actually, NYC RE is kind of gay, isn't it? All the talk about layouts and interiors and finishes--not exactly the stuff of dinner conversation among my hetero male friends. Guess this thread isn't all that misplaced...
