The Best Job I ever had

"I had a chance to work on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on the episode involving the Sears family (they lived in Oakland). I have worked on so many TV shows as local crew, but this was the first time that I finished the day knowing that I had done something good in the course of a production. We weren't making fantasy or lame basic cable entertainment. We were changing lives. This is one of the true giving shows on TV. This family had been through so much trouble with the daughter's condition over the last year. It felt so nice to be there when Ty told them that they would be able to return home because the show was building them a house that she can live in. I had tears in my eyes when I drove home.

Ty and the gang truly do the work of angels."

The DVD is missing some of the Season 1 episodes.

"I was very disappointed to find the DVD was not actually the full Season 1. Missing from it are the Hardin family, Tugwell family, Imbriani family, Mc Crory family and the Friends Helping Friends episode."

Absolutely Wonderful!!!!!!

"When the words "reality tv show" is spoken, this is the type of show that pops into mind. It's not a show where people vote other people off, or a show where backstabbing and lies are the name of the game.

This is a show where a group of people pick a truly deserving family and change their lives by changing their style of living. The families stories are truly inspirational and always bring a tear to the eye. It is the type of show that the entire family can sit down to watch together and where no one will be offended or turned of by language or behaviors.

As for the two discs, there have been other series released with 2 discs...and the episodes have been on both sides of the disc. This helps save money for the consumers and make the packages smaller. Also, there were only 13 episodes in the first season. Therefore, putting all the episodes on two discs would be possible. Although I'm not sure that this is what they are planning on doing.

However they are released, they will definately be bought by me. I encourage anyone considering this series to give a shot. I guarentee you will turn off the tv feeling more inspired."

What reality TV should be

"Watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is a weekly ritual in our home - each week we pop a bowl of popcorn, sit down as a family, and watch Ty and the crew make a dramatic difference in the life of a family in need. This is what reality TV should be - this is what real life should be...doing what you can to help others. Not only does the show have a direct impact on the family, but it creates social awareness about the obstacles these families face. You would think in reading this that I'm an emotional, soupy-type person, but I'm not. I'm just really impressed with a responsible reality TV show in this age of supposed reality TV shows that are anything but real."
