When I mentioned to a friend, he responded how it is cheaper to just demolish the whole house rather than spend manpower on recovery of reusable objects, such as doors windows, fixtures, and appliances. Couldn't Ty give one extra vacation day to the family while they give opportunity to save reusable items from the house?

Otherwise this show has brought some happy tears watching the show.

They said 'Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 600 characters.' so here adding just to fill in the requirements. [who's idea was it to force extra characters? It reminds me of school years, lol, laughing out loud to gather more characters. I've been practicing writing concise comments to make my point as short and sweet as possible, but now I need to elaborate to extend the length of text.]

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!

I know there are lots of comments with 10/10 as the vote, but my vote i do truly mean. This show really helps people out there that need help and actually would do anything get it. Whilst me and my family are watching it, we look around our house and think look at that finished house! And look at ours! But those less fortunate extraordinary one of a kind people living in the United states work hard and kindly with all of there warm hearts to go on a fantastic holiday, appear on TV and most importantly receive gratefully a big safe home for them to live in. I know i am going over the top but it really is a good show and recommend it to all ages. I would like to thank Ty Pendington for all of his hard work. Obviously he will never hear thanks, but he does work hard to build a huge warm home for them. Watch it! Please!!!!!!!!

Yes, their intentions were good BUT most of the ppl who had gotten gratuity from this show were all evicted due to the fact that they couldn't keep up with the taxes and mortgages!!!!

They did make a difference in needy families but never disclosed the taxes and mortgages that came with all the perks and ALL of the families we've watched over the years have been forced into a worse condition lifestyle than they started with because they couldn't keep up with the financial aspect.

The show is just that, A SHOW which may have helped people in need momentarily but we're unable to maintain. It was all just for show and I'm very surprised that they haven't been sued.

Hello there!! I want to let you know how much I love the show. A lot of the stories make me cry for the families. I saw the show on May 21, 2006. The story touched me. I love how a person like the lady was able to take in all of those kids. I am from a family of 4. I myself have many disabilities. I was born with my heart on the right. I have had 3 open heart surgery's. I am on oxygen now. I also have Epilepsy, Asthma and Ostoprosis. I love how you help those in need of getting a place remade over. I love to see that some people still have a heart. You do not see much of that any more. I hope this tells you how much you show touches some people's lives. This includes mine for just watch the stories change others lives. Thanks Bill Berger

I remember doing a mini project in 7th grade math thst had measurements The assignment was to "build" a house by using certain measurements We watched an episode of this show for inspiration and I loved it, it was never on cable then when we got YouTube tv I saw it was on there and I made sure it will get recorded Even though only season 7 and 8 are available and I don't think it's the full season, I cry so much during this show because it has so much heart and kindness Ty Pengtion is proof there is still good people in this world I wish that this show would continue.

Every episode I watch it is just so good and emotional.

I've been addicted to Extreme Makeover since it first aired here in the UK on one of our satellite channels. I confess to having shed a few tears on more than one occasion, the most recent episode being where a son had managed to trace his father who was living rough and bring him home. There wasn't a dry eye in the house that night. Its truly heartwarming stuff in a world where we increasingly don't really care about people who may be less fortunate than ourselves. I suppose thats the not very "secret" secret about this show, it does something positive to help people who are at their lowest ebb. The team of builders, designers etc really seem to care about what they do and of course when they get overly emotional when the job is finished that sets me off too! Its great entertainment whilst doing something extraordinarily worthwhile. I have to say you guys in the US really know how to build houses.

I don't see how anyone could give this show a negative review. The residence of a family who's poor and has experienced numerous hardships is demolished. Led by Ty Pennington, a group of people who specialize in house renovation - designers and workmen (oftentimes neighbors too) - build a new house in its place. When the house is finished there's a gigantic crowd of people outside cheering, and after they all say 'move that bus' at the same time, the reaction from the family is absolutely priceless. I love watching them walk through their house. No two houses are designed the same, but nonetheless, the living room, kitchen, and the kids' bedrooms are amazing!! I love how all of their rooms were made to reflect their hobbies and personality. I'm sure some people might find Ty annoying, because he's always shouting (in a good way) and he has a raspy voice, but I think he's a wonderful person. I usually can't stand loud people, but he doesn't turn me off from watching the show, and to be quite honest he makes me laugh. I think it's because, despite his loudness, I can tell he's a genuine person who's incredibly charitable. His wife lucked out, because it is so hard to find a selfless man. The episodes I was watching on TV were from 2005, but I didn't care. There's so much negativity in this day and age, that I welcome the opportunity to watch something inspirational whenever I can. Whether or not it's recent doesn't matter to me. I enjoy volunteering. I've helped several organizations, mostly within the areas of mental and public health. I have yet to give a lending hand to Habitat for Humanity. This show has inspired me to help build a house for people who are less fortunate. I recommend this program if you need something to brighten your day.

This show IS NOT on any of the streaming apps it claims to be on. Not on Pluto, Peacock, fubo, paramount+ or the HGTV app. Absolutely nowhere to be found. I want to watch the original one with Ty along with the new one. I don't have cable.

This was reality TV worth watching. It showed humans caring for humans. It showed hersos, people showing concern for others more than themselves.

Too bad they cancelled that nice show.

I love this show. Although there are some people that would love to have the places that the people start out with. Try to help someone who has nothing, then get the praise.....

This show is the best reality show ever. My wife and I enjoy it. There is no trashy stuff in this show just warmth, love, respect, devotion and taking care of the needy. It's too bad it was removed from the air and it's too bad it was only for Americans I would like a remake of this show but for people of all countries. Let's hope there will be a remake or a follow up and please cast Ty Pennington again he is the best!

I occasionally see some of this show because my wife watches it sometimes. I try to enjoy it for it's basic idea which is helping a needy family, but several factors get in the way for me. Every episode follows the same format where many parts seem totally scripted (which they are) and tears flow seemingly on cue. The attempt to manipulate the viewer with a mixture of emotional breakdowns and sad music is a real turn off for me. The fact that everyone who donates something to the house, be it Sears or whoever, has to plug themselves for being generous is also annoying. Probably the biggest problem I have with it all is that what must be huge amounts of money and a small army of workers are combined to build an amazingly over the top home for a single family. Now I know that this amount of money is nothing but a drop in the bucket for Disney/ABC but how much more could be done for more people with the amount they are putting on one house? Instead of focusing on one family and getting them all to cry during the episode why not help 10 families and show highlights? Isn't life difficult enough for the average person? Why do I need help finding things to feel sad about, why not show something truly inspiring without being manipulative? I know what is being done for these families is good, but they are also being used for ratings. You can't tell me they aren't being coached sometimes on the crying. I guess when I see these people moving into a home that most hard working people in the U.S. could not afford for their children it really bothers me. I can't help but think of what could really be done with a small portion of Disney's money. Instead of giving each member of the family a flat screen TV and or personal shower that tells you the water temperature and shoots out of the ceiling why not help more people afford food, clothes, education and medical insurance? I know so we can be entertained and have a good cry. In terms of money, I feel the same about Oprah. I don't think anyone can actually conceive the amount of money she possesses. Yes her recent reality show did good things, but when she gave $30,000 to each losing "contestant" I'm sitting here thinking...that's a years salary for many, many people...if they're lucky. Don't get me started on game shows. So I realize that Extreme Makeover Home Edition is "doing good", but forgive me if I see it as more self serving than giving of itself. Is there anyone out there that feels similar?

Wow! What an amazing show. I never knew a show where everyone had such great hearts! This show not only has amazing families every week but the design team and crew just keep on working no matter what conditions there under. I also must admit that I really like their spin off series as well to give viewers a behind the scenes look at what they didn't see the night before it's on this show where you can also see the kindness of everyone on it. Way to go ABC you've really hit a Home Run with this show keep it up you're doing a great job so far! I hope that you guys keep it around for a while and I'm sure that in the future they'll still be watching this Wonderful show!

I love this show. It must have been a lot of hard word to get those houses built. I've just started to watch season ten. Although it's not horrible, there still something missing. Misses the old crew. But then again sometimes change is a good thing.

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is yet another 'feel-goody', so-called 'heart warming', and out-for-ratings show that ABC has had the time to put together.

I understand the troubles that these families go through. For that, I am sorry. But wouldn't you think that putting four wide-screen plasma televisions, three flat-screen desktop computers, an inground pool taking up half of a backyard, and closets full of expensive designer clothing is a BIT too excessive for ANY family? Sure, these families have been through a lot. Sure, they deserve nicer things that what they had previously had.

But honestly, the things that Ty Pennington and his crew put into these houses are enough to suit an entire neighborhood.

Another thing that really irks me about this show is how Ty and his crew always have something good to say about every little thing that relates to the family, or the family's condition. Telling a wheelchair-bound person that he or she is 'so strong', or 'very brave' really does get old after a while. That may sound rude, but believe me; watch this show, and you'll see what I mean.

All in all, this show is overrated. If you want to watch it, go ahead. This comment is just a heads-up for what you'd be watching.

You are the best!!!! God will give you back 100% of your kindness in blessings. You are doing the most incredible and unexpected job. Not everybody is as unselfish and kind as you are. God bless you all!!!! You watch television and all you see is violence, sex, nudity, bad examples for young people. Your show is one of the very few that really does something meaningful. We hope there were more shows like this, helping people in need. A house, food, clothing, scholarships. That counts!! Thank you and we hope you continue doing such wonderful things and thank you for sending people in your show to my beautiful country, Costa Rica. Hope to see you in TV forever.

Hi all

we are a family from south Africa and we would like to say that the job that you guys are doing is so wonderful and may you not stop there in your country only we wish your show can reach every people that are doing they best to help others just like you doing, God is doing amazing things through you guys and it really makes my mother and father wanna do more to help out in the community and people who want help from them, watching your show has inspired change in my their life to do better and my mother says through you she can see the works of God and how great God is. We love watching the show and watching how you changing life's of other people around you. the only thing we wish for the show is that may God continue growing the show and blessing the show also to to be one of the most watch shows in the world.

Just another show that capitalizes on depressed and sad people.

This show is about transforming run down houses into better ones. When the house is complete they have a street party so the family can get excited over their new house. They give children kiddie rooms forgetting that the children will out grow it in 2 years.

It's a fake sentimental show from the cast because they are paid to be happy all the time as the camera runs.

Then in some cases families grow broke and have to move out.

Verdict: Foreclosure. THE END

What a fantastic show! It makes you laugh, makes you cry, and gives you hope that there are still people out there who are willing to work their socks off to give to other people. It makes one believe that perhaps the world isn't so full of cold, selfish people out to please themselves. It really makes me feel good inside to see how happy the people on the receiving end are, and it's also wonderful to see that the men don't feel they have to be "manly" or "butch", and have no qualms about crying on camera, to be seen by heaven knows how many people.

The fact the team go to such lengths to make the house the best it possibly could be, tailored to the family, is amazing. Imagine if you were on the receiving end, how ecstatic would you feel? Imagine your joy, and then you may be able to imagine just how the families helped by ABC and the EM:HE team feel. Their lives have been turned around, picked up, and there are much fewer things for them to worry about.

I know a lot of people have issues with this show, that they feel it is base and demeaning, and the people on it are undeserving. The people they feature are needy in different ways, and just because they aren't destitute and living on the street doesn't make them any less deserving. The fact the team have worked to make houses safer for residents to live in (such as the girl allergic to sunlight) proves in my mind that this is much more than just a reality TV programme. This is life-changing, and absolutely stunning.

In my opinion, this show is one of the most heart-warming reality TV shows I've come across, and I think there should be more! Helping people who need it, changing their lives in ways they never could have done themselves, I think that's an amazing thing. Kudos to ABC, and to the design team and the contractors who work through the night to get the house done. It's fantastic!
