Flip This House
A&E (Saturdays, 9 p.m.)
Real estate at its dramatic best. Three teams from three different
cities buy and renovate run-down, hideously wallpapered properties, then
resell them for (hopefully) a profit. New flipper Angie Wilford from
Atlanta gives season 3 a needed boost of cute, while San Antonio's

Color Splash
HGTV (Mondays, 9 p.m.)
''To me, color is the root to great design,'' proclaims makeover maven

Moving Up
TLC (Saturdays, 8 p.m.)
A family sells its house. Another one buys it, renovates it, then
invites the old owners to weigh in on the remodel. Tearful reacts are

''tacky'' and ''yuppified. I hate it!'' Meanwhile, host Doug Wilson, the
ex-Trading Spaces bad-boy designer, tries not to gag at America's
astounding lack of taste. B+
Find & Design
A&E (Saturdays, 4:30 p.m.)
Unlike most overeager hosts, designer Jennifer Farrell keeps the mugging
to a minimum as she scours flea markets and garage sales, haggling for
items like Tennessee walking sticks and a stuffed monkey to turn a kids'
bedroom into a ''Technicolor indoor rain forest.'' Bonus points for making
crap from discount chain Big Lots look kinda chic. B+
