Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is an American reality television series providing home improvements for less fortunate families and community schools. The show is hosted by carpenter and veteran television personality Ty Pennington. Each episode features a family that has faced some sort of recent or ongoing hardship such as a natural disaster or a family member with a life-threatening illness, in need of new hope. The show's producers coordinate with a local construction contractor, which then coordinates with various companies in the building trades for a makeover of the family's home. This includes interior, exterior and landscaping, performed in seven days while the family is on vacation and documented in the episode. If the house is beyond repair, they replace it entirely.

Can get repetitive but good home renovation show & I enjoyed watching with my family growing up. Good for background noise / casual watching

I used to watch it with my mom. Now I realize it's just poverty porn to make middle class people feel good about themselves

Used to love this, it’s good if you enjoy watching a house makeovers

Gets repetitive but it’s interesting to hear people’s stories and see the transformations

It's fun to watch but ultimately a little too extreme. These families probably won't be able to afford to keep these ridiculous houses.

Literally still love rewatching these. Heart warming. Just love the process

As far as reality tv is concerned, it doesn’t get much better than this. Emotional and entertaining but repetitive and bts there were issues

One of those good deed, tear-jerker shows.

It is nice what they do for people who need it.

Haven’t seen this in ages but I remember liking it even though it was repetitive
