It wasn't until after I read Dana Reinhardt's "How to Build a House: A Novel", I hated Extreme Makeover. Once I started watching it though, you get sucked in, and you get after an episode that you need to do SOMETHING. Might be boring/awkward for younger viewers, because of all the crying.
Plus this show has Ty Pennington!
Fantastic.
This is a really good show. There are great messages and role models. It's great to see veryeone come together to build a house for a deserving family. I've never seen anything inapprporiate on the show, and I've been watching it for years. However, there is A LOT of product placement, and it honestly gets kind of annoying.
Very good show. Great messages, great role models, no complaints.
Awesome show. It has such good messages. The whole show is about helping others for no pay. I honestly don't care what anyone else has told you, at least try this show. The main guy in the show is a very selfless, kind man, someone who kids should follow in footsteps. It's an enlightening show for the whole dang family.
I love this show. Sometimes, I even cry. The cast members are so nice to do all that work in just seven days. A family from my school (Kilgallon family) just had their house finished and the episode is going to appear in May. I saw the outside and it's beautiful. I can't wait to see what the inside looks like.
how dare you in commercialism coloum say that some of the things they do is over the top that is a load of bull this show is about helping people no matter how unforturnate
I usually cry when I watch this show. I love to see what these people do to help families in need. While there is commercialism, (like Sears, whom they are sponsored by) this show really demonstrates that not all television is trash.
Sometimes, the family really needs the new house, like in the episode with the mom in the wheelchair. that was really sad. But other times, it's like, wow, people, its called a job! that's where you apply, then you go there and do what you're told! I think that some of these people are just feeling bad for themselves. Not all, but some. I mean, seriously, alot of these homes aren't even so bad to start with! Some of these people need to get a grip. others are being sensible, props to them and good luck to the ones who had REAL harships.
This show is so emotional and touching. It is amazing to hear people's stories and it it's great to see how the houses look like. Most of the stories make my cry really hard!
Im 14 and I still watch it! This show is showing kids how to give people the things that they need.Plus they dont want anything back. I think that it shows kids how to be kind.
