There's no such thing as a good time to get arrested, but some moments are worse than others. For example, most people probably wouldn't want to be charged with a crime within a week of their reality TV debut. Just ask Josh Flagg, one of the stars of Million Dollar Listing's second season. Flagg was recently arrested for stealing expensive works of art that he had been hired to sell.When he's not flying his clients around in helicopters and wrapping mansions in bows, Flagg works as an estate broker. He's been charged with stealing valuable art by Chagall and Picasso from the estates that he managed. Flagg's out on bail, but this probably isn't the kind of publicity he wanted before the show's premiere.
TMZ noted that one of Josh Flagg's Facebook photos shows the realtor standing in front of a valuable painting at his former home. I can't decide if such a potentially bold (or stupid) move makes me want to watch Million Dollar Listing more or less. The ads for the show have not sparked my interest so far. Flagg and his co-stars seem downright obnoxious, even by Bravo standards. Scandal aside, I'd rather watch a show featuring Top Chef's Lisa and Blayne from Project Runway than this mess.
Will this news have any influence on Million Dollar Listing's ratings? Does Flagg's arrest affect your degree of interest in the show?
Season two of Million Dollar Listing premieres Tuesday night on Bravo.

Guaranteeing that everyone fearured in this show would end up getting arrested during its run would be the only way to get me to watch. Otherwise, it's just the story of tools acting tooly.

Is this show a joke or what? Actually, maybe not. My husband has worked in L.A. real estate for 25 years. We have seen many a hot shot come and go. The more obnoxious, the greater and more shocking their demise. Can't wait to see how these idiots futz up their lives. It reminds me of Barry Minkow in the 80's, or better yet, the billionaire boys club. Stay tuned America!!!!!!!!!

I don't watch Million Dollar Listing for the obnoxious Realtors! I watch to see how all the "Plastic People" live! It's interesting what some people will spend for status! I do have to say that 30yr old who looks 15 is over the top! Is he for REAL?

If I hear one more time that Ron Richards gets what he wants, I will puke. I decided to check out the multiple shows today, I am now watching I Love Lucy Re-runs.
Madison is the only one I would do business with. The one with the Dorothy Hammil Haircut needs to go far away. Oh wait, only if Ron Richards wants it.

I loved it when a client mentioned that Chad looked young, and Chad says " Yeah, my friends say I never age" and the client says " like Dorian Gray", and Chad replies " who's Dorian Gray?" [ Does he need a real estate agent?] what a douche

What comes around goes around. Josh Flagg is so unethical, I can't believe he has a real estate license. In the episode last night, 9/9/08, Chad exposed Josh as a liar and an unethical piece of crap. I am sure that Josh's grandmother (poor sole) will bail his ass out of this mess and he will land on his feet. Josh is so obnoxious that I forget how annoying Chad is and how gay Madison is!!!!

It's painful to watch Chads total jealousy of Josh. It's unbearable.
