Currently, no titles or show details are available for the first nine episodes, but they are scheduled to begin airing on April 21 at 9PM ET. Repeats of each episode will occur a Midnight, ET on the original air date, and then again at 6PM ET the following Saturday.

Tonight I am watching a A&E Flip this House with Richard and crew because they are just so darn fun to watch. They are definitely the cream of the home improvement tv crop. The Real Deal will be a hit because of the fantastic chemistry that Richard, Ginger and all the principals give the show. Good luck gang! I’ve already marked my caledar for the TLC premiere!

I was so disappointed when the Trademark team was replaced with those half wits in San Antonio and Atlanta. I especially missed Ginger. =)
Great to hear you’re back on the air guys!

I do not understand why TLC would not be marketing this with much fanfare given the loyal following Trademark Properties has developed. I cannot wait til the new show airs but I was hoping for more fanfare to increase viewers and ratings.

I want to first say… I’m Glad TLC has given Richaed Davis the Trademark Team a new venue to air their show. They are the people who drew all the viewers to tune in and become loyal fans of the show. I have also seen the sub-standard “Flop This House” w/the other so called cast.. Not very Artful or Entertaining… I do hope they put the shows on the same night and time and see where the viewers tune in…
I have had the pleasure and opportuntiy to watch the first episode of “The Real Deal” and believe me “You don’t want to miss it”… The episode has all the Compassion and all the Warmth the original show had.
I want to wish Richard,Team Teademark and TLC my best. Keep doing what u all know best and we the fans will be faithfully watching…

I watched TLC most of the day on Sunday and saw no sign of promotion for the new show. They need to get their marketing people on the ball and promote this new show. It looks like forums like this are doing more to promote it than the network.

He’s a class act.

I just searched my Tivo for the new show. If anyone else has Tivo, do a title search for Hero’s Home Run and there is one episode scheduled so far. I guess it the series is called “hero’s home run”, which is strange since it sounds like more of an episode title, but at least trademark is back!

Sorry.. I don’t see any difference between Trademark and the other crews on the Flip This House episodes. All of them just slap some paint on top of termites and sell the houses to unsuspecting “rubes” at inflated prices. Pretty much everyone in Charleston knows that if you see a trademark sign in front of a property.. run like hell in the other direction! (yes.. i’m a Chucktown native…) Sorry guys… but it’s true… just check the listings to see what they have “actually” sold and what they “claim” to have sold….

Even if Trademark Properties didn’t get a penny from their lawsuit, the amount of money they will earn from their new show will be ten-fold in what they would have made staying with A&E. A&E messed up bigtime by dishonoring their agreement with Trademark, and they will pay dearly. The new companies they have shown on “Flip This House” don’t hold a drop of water compared the original crew of Trademark. Richard, Ginger, Dawn, even Richard’s brother are all good people and their hearts will be rich forever.

I saw the first new episode. I enjoyed it, but missed much of Richard’s crew and Kevin. I thought there was way too much Ginger. Give me a break, it’s not her show, or is it?

Are Ginger and Richard a couple or what? I can’t find it anywhere and have been keenly listening and watching to see any hints of it. I know he’s got kids, but could be divorced….. I love these guys, I just really want to know if they are a “couple”!!

Saw the second show last night and it was great. I still miss the mixing with the old group. You advertise they are there, and I saw them at the very end, but that’s not like it was before. Remember Richard we didn’t leave you, A&E took you away from us and we watched because we loved your show the way it was. Take a look at your original shows and get the comedy and people back to us. Love the Show

Wow! Second episode was good, but I looked up Greenville County, SC tax records and they only sold the house for $175,000. ( http://www.greenvillecounty.org/vrealpr24/clRealProp.ASP?WCI=tplRealPropInfo&WCE=Form1&WCU= ) The show said it had a market price of $219,000. Only made a $10,000 profit. I would bet that Richard made more than that from TLC for the episode……

Above link did not paste properly- try this one:

Click on ACCEPT, then type “trademark” in the name field, the click submit. Click on ” 0007.00-01-004.00″ under map number. This shows what they paid for it and when they bought it. If you change the year to 2008 it will show when they sold it and for how much. VERY INTERESTING. You can also look up other trademark properties in past years….

In response to Michelle… I don’t believe Richard and Ginger are a couple. I remember from a “Flip” episode that he was having lunch with his wife and Ginger together… which makes me think that he is happily married and has a trusting wife. Chances are, his wife doesn’t want to be a part of the show and is happy having a semi-low profile life. I don’t think Ginger would go for Richard anyway…. he’s twenty years her senior and she’s too normal and nice to be a gold-digger-sleep with the company boss kind of chick…. my guess is she has plenty of handsome young men waiting at her doorstep.

Hi guys…
Let me say fist, I am your biggest fan and have been waiting for your return to TV since the other network.
If I may, I’d like to share some constructive critisism with you, since this is a ‘feedback’ email address… Just hope you take this feedback well and apply it to future tapings.
So as I said… I love all you guys… Tivo every show… but I’m a little bit disappointed so far with the episodes…
Seems like a little too much fluff, instead of the focus-on-construction balls-out all-powerful Richard Davis that I saw before…
For example, the old episodes portrayed Trademark as mostly a builder/rehabber, and these episodes show it more like a realtor sales office…
The intro to the show, with the voiceover from the other guy… dont like it. The old one where Richard was talking, and he just said it like it is… much more powerful… riding the helicopter… that was great.
Plus the theme music… I hate to say it, but the Flip This House tune was better. More energy.
The episode with Ginger talking for half the show about how much Richard has done for her and she doesnt want to let him down… still trying to figure all that out. It made it seem like this was the first house Ginger did, and I clearly remember old episodes where Ginger tackeled projects by herself.
All that stroking Richards ego in the episode… just not sure what that was about… and all the stuff about Richard taking the kids to the game… We know Richard is a good guy, and wants to “give back”… but again… too much fluff.
The $40M condo conversion episode… yes, it was a big dollar deal… but again, this was about a real estate office, and about marketing… not about the construction flipping that we want to see… you rehabbed one unit on the episode. If you wanted to show the grand nature of this project, I would have loved to see how you figured out the pricing for the units, how did you decided the upgrade packages, what did the other units look like, etc. The nitty gritty…
I guess the bottom line is, I personally anyway, would like to see some hard core construction projects… see the hole-in-the-wall house turned from a roach infested nighmare, to something beautiful… let’s see the hard numbers, the actual sales figures and costs, and take us for a great ride as these before/after shows have always done.
Thanks for listening… Hope to see you guys around for a while.

Richard has 3 boys and is very much into sports. His wife is a very well known doctor in Charleston and they have a very strong marriage and his wife feels no threat from Ginger according to a news report 2 yrs ago in the Charleston SC paper.
A & E made one big mistake when the dropped Richard and Trademark and they lost alot of viewers to A$E who were dedicated to Richard’s ‘Flip This House’.
Glad to see them back on the air again and enjoy every episode.

All A&E cares about showing is “the sopranos”, “CSI Miami”, etc. They’re not interested in reality shows with a “tell it like it is” crew like Richard/Ginger. Good going TLC!!!

All, I have been watching TLC’s show called “Real Estate Pros” with Richard, Ginger and the gang. I think Real Deal may have been an older working title. It has been on for at least three weeks on TLC. They had a marathon two weeks ago.

The first episodes were branded “The Real Deal” with both titles and voiceover. Then the title was changed to “The Real Estate Pros” with the voiceover “The Real Deal” then in the most recent episodes, both the voiceover and titles say “The Real Estate Pros”.
I wonder if there was confusion with another show or perhaps “The Real Deal” was felt to be inflammatory by the judge.

Does anyone else hate the New “Flip this House” I don’t like the main guy from the Montelongo’s, he treats his wife and workers like crap, Richard’s show had so much more class.

I was just checking the TLC site and although they have a description for The Real Deal (http://tlc.discovery.com/guides/property/the-real-deal/the-real-deal.html) there are no upcoming episodes scheduled (http://tlc.discovery.com/tv-schedules/series.html?paid=2.14374.55629.33692.x). I’m a little behind and had no idea the awesome Trademark team wasn’t with the A&E show anymore. I found the team truly inspiring, entertaining, and educational. Does anyone know if a new season is in the works?
