I like Flip This House--well mostly because of Ginger--that drawl is sexy as all get-out. However, their schedules are freakin' crazy--they must be on 30-day high-interest notes, or otherwise there is no way they would just bust them out like they do--you can't get a quality job working a straight 7-10 week. I would be real interested to see how the homes "held-up" on a follow-up type show.
As Wayne mentioned I see the same lack of quality in the McMansions that are proliferating everywhere. These builders swoop in put up a development in 6 months time, and are often at full-capcaity within a year. Then about 6 mos after that, I start to see "for sale" signs re-appearing. A quick drive through some of the local developments which were pushing homes "In the low 300s"--per the sign at the model--have developed the following within 2 years of completion--warped vinyl siding, loose sofitts, loose corner trim, peeled paint/flaking on all of the "decorative" wood trim pieces--which is just pressed fiberboard painted white--lifted shingles, and driveway cracking. The quality is just not there.
