Wiki
The show is one of ABC's top-rated series and has become more popular than the original Extreme Makeover.
The show is hosted by Ty Pennington, formerly a carpenter on the show Trading Spaces. It is sponsored by Sears (and their properties, Craftsman and Kenmore), for which Pennington serves as a spokesman and which are prominently featured in the episodes. The series is devoted to rebuilding families' homes when the family is in need of new hope. Some scenes were staged, including the Muppets as guest-stars. During the 20052006 season they went to areas hit by Hurricane Katrina.
The show also had a series of specials that later became a regular series during the 20042005 television season entitled Extreme Makeover Home Edition: Howd They Do That? It was a short-lived spinoff of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition that featured extra behind-the-scenes footage of what had happened in that week's episode.
International versions have also aired, in Greece, Scandinavia, and later this year, Mexico. The UK version (shown on UKTV Style) removes a number of segments that would contravene product placement laws including shots of store signs and product manufacturers, if it is unable to edit these out - they are blurred. The audio feed is also edited to bleep, fade or remove unnecessary mentions of manufacturers or suppliers whilst leaving references to the house builder, main furniture supplier and kitchen supplier (if different)
