Esta casa era una ruina (Versión americana)

I have to shake my head when I read the comments of people that don't care for this show. It's obviously not about the nuts-and-bolts building of a house, and as far as Ty "never picking up a hammer" - for God's sake, they can't show the entire seven days of building the house, and if they did, who'd want to watch it?! Reality shows, by their nature, are cruel freak shows, highlighting the worst of human behavior, like disloyalty and back-stabbing motivated by greed (SURVIVOR comes to mind), gross-out stunts (FEAR FACTOR, anyone?), extolling the idea that physical beauty is the answer to all your problems (THE SWAN), or exploiting a near-psychotic desire to appear on TV no matter what the cost to yourself or your family (Jerry Springer and his ilk). Extreme Makeover Home Edition instead highlights the best in human behavior - compassion, a sincere desire to help someone in need, and the "pay it forward" idea that helping another human being will lead to that person helping another, and on and on. I don't enjoy being shown that people can be selfish, hateful morons that will eat a pig rectum or back-stab a friend for money or exposure, but I DO enjoy being reminded that there are people in the world willing to help others down their luck and do it in ways that change the recipient's lives.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition is a wonderful, entertaining, inspiring show, cast to perfection with funny, entertaining people who do their jobs with exquisite taste and imagination. May it run forever!

If you do not like this show, you do not like TV. What a wonderful, wonderful show.

I've watched it since it started and it keeps on getting better.

There are two things i love about this show.

Number one, everybody is there for one purpose, and that's the family. Ty Pennington to just about everyone, wants the best for the family that they are doing.

Number two, the Sears commercial they do that says, "Welcome Home". What a wonderful 30 seconds or so.

Nice going ABC and Sears. Watch it, your gonna get hooked.

My Wife and I watch Extreme makeover in the UK all the time. Our hearts go out to all the families who have been helped.

The story of one family in particular who unfortunately lost their home in a fire touched us very deeply.

Ty and the Team are a great bunch of people. Their help to humanity and those who are in need goes far beyond anything you could imagine. The producers of the show and everyone who helps in the making are miracle workers.

We wish you all good health and long life and may you all live as long as you want and never want as long as you live. You all truly deserve it.

G-D Bless You All.

Kindest and Warmest Wishes,

The Raymond Family.

One day three weeks ago I was sat at home bored, flicking through the Sky channels when Extreme Makeover: Home Edition came on. It was an episode where Ty Pennington(how hot is he) and the team where transforming a house for a family who's young daughter Olivia had battled cancer.

This show is truly amazing, the houses they design are breath-taking. They build, and design amazing homes in just seven days. They send the family away on holiday why they do there magic. On thing I can say is that this show can make you cry, because this people lives have been turned upside down. They make families what they should be a family.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition rocks!

I watch this show for three reasons.

1) All the crew loves the families and really want to help them. Which is totally cool, because I believe all the families deserve it.

2) I love watching the house transform and I love seeing the families faces when they come home to a brand new house.

3) Ty takes off his shirt in a lot of episodes. How could you not want to see Ty without a shirt on? (unless your a guy of course) Also, if you like this show you should watch the new one called "Extreme Makeover Home Edition: How'd They Do That?" they show a lot of stuff that the original one didn't. It's really cool!
