TLC vs A&E

Tonight, TLC and A&E are going head-to-head with A Home Run For Trademark and Flip This House – New Haven.

A Home Run For Trademark is a special; the first episode “The Real Deal” will be April 21 at 9e/8c.  The show centers around the relocation of the Shoeless Joe house, while at the same time helping to renovate the life of a current baseball player.  The show had a great storyline, and gave us all a taste of what to expect with the upcoming season of The Real Deal.

I’m watching the New Haven team on Flip This House, and noticed that A&E seems to have learned from the dismal performance last season.  The show has a faster pace, new graphics, and the budgets seem more realistic.  The new crew has a website that they continually pimped on the show – http://www.thanandpaul.com/.  In the end they doubled their money on the project, along the way they had a broken water main and an injury. 

Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.

The Wait is Over… Team Trademark is Back!

From Richard Davis, dated March 27, 2007:

A HOMERUN FOR TRADEMARK
ON MARCH 31, 2007 THE WAIT IS OVER…
TEAM TRADEMARK IS BACK!

Real estate mastermind Richard C. Davis and his team at Trademark Properties give two baseball greats – one a tarnished legend, the other an exiled pro – a second chance in:

A HOME RUN FOR TRADEMARK,
PREMIERING SATURDAY, MARCH 31
AT 9PM ET/PT ON TLC.

In the one-hour special, Davis and his team first purchase the former home of baseball great Shoeless Joe Jackson in Greenville, SC and then work to transform it into a Shoeless Joe museum.  Although Shoeless Joe was banned from baseball in 1921 due to his alleged involvement in the “Black Sox” scandal, his fans have worked tirelessly to restore his reputation ever since.  For his part, Davis puts together a crew, transplants and repositions the house all in just one week, giving Shoeless Joe a place of honor in the hearts of baseball fans everywhere.  

Assisting Davis in the project is construction foreman Josh Hamilton.  A former professional baseball player himself with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Hamilton was sidelined in 2002 when a drug addiction crippled his ability to play.  He was subsequently suspended from baseball.

Now, Hamilton has a second chance: out of rehab and into Davis’ construction crew, Hamilton hopes this will be a stepping stone to getting his career back on track. Davis and his team have just one shot to give both of these baseball greats a second chance.Will they pull it off?
