Strata on TV

These days there's a wide variety of TV programs covering every imaginable topic (some good and some not so good).  But not strata title and I wonder why?

Sure there's a bit of news and news commentary like this interview of the SCA NSW president on Ten Breakfast and Michael Teys' regular appearances on Property Success with Margaret Lomas and Your Money Your Call which are great since they help expose strata title issues to the public and disseminate information.  But, it's not the same as strata entering popular culture via TV drama, comedy or reality shows.  

And, why shouldn't strata be the basis of more entertaining TV?  It's just as interesting as the happening on the Jersey Shore or in the Kardashian households (and possibly more entertaining).  There are a few obtuse examples of TV strata - Number 96 in the 1970s was about the happenings in small Sydney apartment block, there's been a few Frasier episodes about his dealings with his strata corporation (like Three Days of the Condo) and The Block started with renovating 4 apartments.  

I think there's plenty of interesting angles for TV strata involving the property aspects, renovations, investment issues, personal dramas, local politics, small (and big) business and more than a few characters and personalities that could sustain a few dozen episodes.  Or, what about a show called Strata Apprentice where strata owners, residents, managers and others compete in a series of challenges to see who is the best strata player?  Or, even Celebrity Strata Apprentice where past celebrities are placed in one strata building and play out a series of challenging strata scenarios?  It could catch on (or not).

Then again, maybe we don't really want Snooki, Mikey and the Situation in our strata buildings.
