Utah's very own "Flip Men" will be back. Spike TV has ordered a second season of the show.
The entertaining half-hour show follows Utahns Doug Clark and Mike Baird as they buy foreclosed properties - sometimes sight-unseen - and deal with all sorts of problems putting the houses back in shape for resale. Could be a dead skunk in the ventilation system and hundreds of bottles of water in the basement; could be the residue of a meth lab; could be a squatter who doesn't want to leave.
Accordiing to Spike, in its first season "Flip Men" improved its Tuesday time slot by 74 percent among men 18-49, by 61 percent among persons 18-49; and by 34 percent among all viewers.
Spike has ordered 12 half-hour episodes for Season 2. The show is tentatively slated to return in the third quarter of 2012.
