The show was hosted by former model, carpenter and veteran television personality.
Each episode features a family that has faced some sort of recent or ongoing hardship such as a 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 (paid for by the show's producers) and documented in the episode.
If the house is beyond repair, they replace it entirely. The show's producers and crew film set and perform the makeover but do not pay for it. The materials and labor are donated. Many skilled and unskilled volunteers assist in the rapid construction of the house.
EM:HE is considered a of, an earlier series providing personal makeovers (often including ) to selected individuals. Unusual for a spin-off, Home Edition outlasted its mother show by several seasons. This show displays extreme changes to help recreate someone's space. However, the format differs considerably; in the original Extreme Makeover, for instance, participants were not necessarily chosen based on any recent hardship, whereas the family's backstory is an important component of Home Edition. EM:HE also has similarities to other home renovation series such as, on which Pennington was previously a key personality.
The series was produced by (the people behind, and other reality shows) in association with 's. The Executive Producers were Brady Connell and. The program originally aired on Sunday evenings but was moved to Friday nights as of October 21, 2011. Upon the airing of its final episode in series form, and for the 2012 special holiday run, it remained ABC's last series to air solely in and never converted to a or widescreen presentation.
On December 15, 2011, ABC announced that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition would end its run on January 13, 2012. It will, however, continue to air as a special on the network. Contents. Overview Extreme Makeover: Home Edition premiered as a thirteen-part special on Wednesday, December 3, 2003, and had its official series premiere on Sunday February 15, 2004.
It was among 's top-rated series and has become far more popular than the original Extreme Makeover, which struggled in the ratings through its last two seasons and quietly ended with its episodes burned off wholesale in July 2007. The show ranked 41st in its first season, averaging 10.6 million viewers per episode, with the pilot episode bringing in 12 million viewers. However its ratings soared thereafter with the second season entering the top 20, finishing 15th for the year, averaging 15.8 million viewers per episode.
The next four seasons each ranked at least in the top 30, with seasons two and three ranking in the top 20, and seasons four and five ranking in the top 25. The sixth season, however, fell out of the top 35, and ranked 38th, averaging 10.3 million viewers per episode. The seventh season ranked 39th, averaging 9.1 million viewers. By season eight, the show barely ranked in the top 50 with just over 8.5 million viewers per episode on average. The last season ranked below the top 100 (finishing at #101) and averaged only 5.8 million viewers per episode. Series reruns began airing on on Tuesday August 7, 2007, making it the youngest non-original show to air on the network.
The show is also in syndication on. The show is hosted by, formerly a carpenter on the show. The series is devoted to rebuilding families' homes when the family is in need of new hope. During the 2005–2006 season, the show went to areas hit by and helped communities to rebuild themselves with help from other organizations. The show also had a series of specials that later became a regular series during the 2004–2005 television season entitled Extreme Makeover Home Edition: How'd They Do That? It was a short-lived spin-off of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition that featured extra behind-the-scenes footage of what had happened in that week's episode.
An occasional special would feature, property of ABC, engaging in comical scenes with the design team. However, their scenes were usually filmed after the renovation.
Production. Host during an episode shooting, January 2006. Two episodes in two different cities are shot at the same time (a few days apart), using two different production crews. There are also two groups of designers. Ty Pennington flies back and forth between the cities to do the 'door knock', the braveheart march, and the 'reveal', as well as to finish up work on his projects, which he mentions and gives walk-throughs in his magazine.
The amount of work that Ty and the design team put into the house itself and the projects they take on depend mostly on the amount of filming needed to be done. In some circumstances, such as smaller makeovers or makeovers scheduled to be two-hour episodes, the lead designers lay out a general idea for their projects, and the show's backup designers take over. Generally, the lead designers are notified in advance of the makeover recipients, to enable them to start their plans ahead of time. At several makeovers, they have been criticized for never doing any work at all, and just being there to put on a show. In 2007, during the makeover for the Carter Family in, a local radio DJ accused Pennington of using a spray can of grease on his face to make it look like he was really working, only to be confronted over the air by Pennington himself, who called in from the construction site. The largest piece of evidence to prove the design team's contribution to the house and the family is a severe hand injury that received during a 2006 makeover in Ohio for the family of.
While creating a wood carving of the American flag, Sanders removed part of the guard for a hand-held wood grinder, which led to him slicing one of his hands open. Sanders took a leave of absence for nearly an entire season to recover. Pennington works on the show over 240 days out of the year, while the remaining designers work in shifts. During the production season, crew members work for two weeks, then are off for one week. The show usually begins shooting in June and goes through March or April, leaving one to two months of downtime. During the off-season, crew members occasionally work on pre-season episodes.
Location managers work constantly, often spending a month in a city before selecting it as the next site. Format. Participates in the filming of an 'Extreme Makeover Home Edition' episode, White House, 2011. ABC received thousands of applications from families in need, and the team said that it was extremely hard to filter through the stories and choose only one of them. The families they looked for must have met two criteria: first, they must have been truly deserving and in need of the makeover, and second, they must have been the kind of people who gave something of themselves back to their community. The main theme of the show was advocacy, as each family that was selected helped to address a wide range of issues in American society.
The show had helped families who had been victimized by a form of loss or tragic event, experienced a certain hardship and most of all, advocated on ways to treat, face and prevent such losses. The show helped families of veterans, single parents, and families with children who had illnesses ranging from childhood cancers to HIV/AIDS, as well as children with mental illnesses and disabilities such as autism. The show helped families victimized by natural disasters such as tornadoes and hurricanes, as well as families who had dealt with house fires and mold contamination. Other instances included families who had either lost loved ones or had loved ones injured in car accidents (including alcohol-related incidents), domestic violence, gang-related crimes and drug abuse.
Every episode made a family stand as an advocate of awareness of such problems. The majority of episodes were one hour; however, in some instances (mainly if complications were involved, or if the makeover involved more than just the family home) the episode was aired as a two-parter and started at 7 PM Eastern Time (one hour ahead of its normal 8 PM Eastern Time slot). In the UK, some of the two-hour episodes aired as one single program instead of as two separate parts. Most shows in the first three seasons began with a shot of Pennington in the team's bus saying, 'I'm Ty Pennington, and the renovation starts right now!' The exceptions were those episodes which featured a guest host in his place.

Sailors help build a home in an episode of 'Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition', Virginia Beach, Va., 2011. In the fourth and fifth seasons, the opening shot was of Ty in a location iconic of the state the episode was in, and a declaration of what state the episode was in was added to the tagline. Then, the chosen family was briefly profiled; their nomination video was shown to the team (and to the television audience).
Ty then brought the team together in a huddle and led them in a chant of 'Let's do it!' Next, Ty and the design team visited the family's home and proceeded to give the family a 'wake-up call' (courtesy of Ty's infamous bullhorn) by shouting 'Good Morning family's name family!' Then introduced each family member. The team then went throughout the house, finding out about the family's interests as design inspiration.
The family was then sent off on a one-week vacation (where applicable, airfare was provided by, whose involvement was noted at the end of the show, mostly ) while the house was renovated or demolished, depending on its condition and the family's needs. One episode in season three did not include a vacation because a family's daughter was in isolation at a local hospital.
As the family took vacation, they received video messages via computer laptop from Pennington's camera. The videos displayed on the laptop were superimposed on broadcasts to avoid both screen glare and the requirement of paying advertising royalties on the software used in the videos. Beginning with Season 3, the demolitions became quite creative: the team had used falling trees, tanks, and even monster trucks to accomplish the task where needed.
In 2007, they used dynamite to blow up one family's old house in Wyoming. In 2008, a rather innovative episode showed Ty and his team rolling a five hundred pound bowling ball through the house to eventually demolish a family's 'bowling-themed, -inspired' bathroom. A local home builder (sometimes two builders) and community volunteers began basic work (electrical, plumbing, roofing, and, if the house was demolished, framing a new one) while the design team began designing the creative aspects of the house.
Once the basic work was completed, the design team then added the finishing touches. Ty selected a portion of the house to be his 'secret room' (except in the case when the secret project took place in the backyard), which no one was allowed to view prior to final reveal (with one exception in Season 4, which involved a commercial kitchen; the health inspector had to approve the kitchen and issue the permit before it could be used). Shows often featured design team members making a trip to a local store as well as special guest appearances. The Clean Air Team was often called in to provide ultra-clean air for families with special health issues. At the end of the week, the family returned to their home to see cheering crowds and the view of their home blocked by a bus (for larger projects, two buses would block the home). When Ty and the family gave the order, originally, 'Bus driver, hit it!' And later the much more famous, 'Bus driver, move that bus!!'
(or 'those buses!!' ), the family saw the end result of the team's efforts. Pennington's secret room was usually the last item featured on the show. Often, a child's bedroom, the parent's master bedroom or a business room received Pennington's special attention. Some episodes featured special gifts given to the family by outside parties. The show always ended with Ty saying, 'There's only one thing left to say: welcome home family's name family, welcome home'. This was often followed by a from the family, design team, and whoever else was there as a way of saying thank you to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

. Reality TV show 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' captured the hearts of the nation when it transformed the home of a cancer stricken girl and her struggling family into a $1m mansion. But as the ABC show aired its final episode last night, it emerged that the 2005 extreme makeover of the rented ranch in Arizona which came with a full-size carousal, had proved to be too extreme for the Okvath family. Crippled by debts and rocketing utility bills which came with their 'dream home' Bryan and Nichol Okvath, who have seven children, were forced to sell their one-time $1million mansion at a loss at $540,000. Overjoyed: The Okvath family pictured here on the show were over the moon with their new home when it was unveiled in 2005 The episode began in 2004, when the couple's daughter Kassandra, then aged eight, was undergoing treatment for cancer and wrote to the show, asking for her hospital cancer ward to be brightened up. So touched by the girl's plea, in addition to renovating the cancer ward, the producers decided to tear down the 1,800-square-foot house the family were renting in Gilbert and replace it with a six-bedroom mansion with a movie theater and a backyard carousel.
Reality TV show 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition', cast pictured here, captured the hearts of the nation when it transformed the home of the cancer stricken girl But the extreme home came with extreme bills; utility costs reached $1,200 for electricity and $400 for water; property taxes increased from $1,625 pre-makeover to $5,600, reports the Republic. Bryan, who was unemployed, occasionally worked as a truck driver and fire fighter, and Nichol was a stay at home mum, according to the report. Struggling to cope, the Republic reports that the cash-strapped couple used the house as collateral for a $405,000 loan in 2006, but were not able to keep up with payments and the home was almost foreclosed. They tried to sell the house several times - for $1.9 million in 2007, then for $1.4 million - but got no takers.
Cancelled: The last show of the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was aired on Friday night They narrowly avoided losing the home at a public auction in 2008, then put the house up for sale again. By 2009, the asking price had dropped to $800,000. Eventually in spring 2010, they sold it for $540,000. 'It's been frustrating,' Mrs Okvath had told the Republic in 2009. 'When the cameras go off, it's just a different. Everybody thinks everything's happily ever after.'
'A lot of people think we're rich, but we have nothing,' She added. 'We live paycheck to paycheck. We have no cushion anymore.' It has since been reported that Kassandra had made a good recovery, however her parents have separated. Efforts to reach the family have been unsuccessful.
