zeno, ITA. i have seen most of these shows...and while all of them are of deserving families with real tragedies, this older son was the most marvelous person. loving, helpful, patient... not enough accolades for this young man. i hope all his dreams come true. what a deserving individual!

Ty has emergency appendectomy, but continues Extreme Makeover production.
As the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition crew was constructing a home in Lake City, Georgia, host Ty Pennington had to be hospitalized for an emergency appendectomy. But that didn't stop the energetic former Trading Spaces carpenter from working on the house. In a statement, Ty said, "Thanks to phones and emails, I will be able to maintain my part by giving input to the other designers and discussing our plans for the house. I am just so glad this happened in Atlanta, where I have so much support from my family and friends." Executive producer Tom Forman -- yes, that's his real name, Forman -- said, "Instead of disappointing the family and postponing the production, Ty was willing to make his predicament a part of the episode. Our show has always been authentic in the way it portrays reality, and this is just another testament to that."

Ty and co. are about 15 miles from me right now. They are re-doing a home for a family that had sextuplets a year or so ago. You can't EVEN get close to the street. The news said the episode will be shown in Feb.

They're in Arizona this week...

Apparently they're re-doing a house in "Glendale" (I think that's what the news said .... ) North of Tucson...but they are also re-doing the Children's Ward of one of our local hospitals here in Tucson....

Episode will probably play sometime in March....

(A lady called in to the radio station and said she had been driving all around the hospital area looking for the bus/trucks....and that's when the DJ said that they were in two different places...)

Ok update. I never did go by the house but my friend did and she got Ty's autograph. Said he was super nice. This was waaaay too early in the morning for me. Anyway I've seen the house on the news and it looks really nice and ALOT bigger. These people really needed this new home, they have 7 kids!!!! I think the sextuplets are 2 1/2. Anyway they said on the news that 3500 people showed up for the reveal. Holy! I think they said it will show March 7 or 9, around there somewhere, I'd have to look at a calendar. Ya'll don't forget to watch!

This man on the last show had me in tears! He was crying so much. I can't get through this show without crying. I think I cry as soon as the bus rolls up and Ty yells through the bullhorn!

Oh man...I feel like I've finally arrived home!!! I've loved this show from the first and every week it just makes me feel better and better. I couldn't find the TVCH thread where this show was discussed, and was amazed that there weren't more TVCH'ers who were entralled with this show.

I think this show is so much more than entertainment. I think this show provides much more than hope and happiness for well deserving families. It promotes a feeling of community and allows everyone connected with this show (workers, production crew, neighbors, and even viewers) to feel like they are making a difference in this world.

For me, this show is the epitome of what's RIGHT with reality television!!!

ETA: Thanks Mamie for finding me and bringing me home!!!

Every week this show gets better and better. It makes me cry every week too! The house was beautiful this week. Also, giving 50,000 to a charity for their son that had died was wonderful. I can't imagine living somewhere where an ambulance wouldn't come without police escort!

Kep, you are so welcome. I love this show. I love that the builders, Ty, etc. seem to get so much out of what they are doing. You can see it in all of them and it is so needed with all the crap that goes on in this world. I really think I need to buy some stock in Kleenex!

Did you see the hour on Jan. 13? Each of the regulars went back to families and houses they had built over the past months (year?). Remember the Walswick family? (Actually, I don't.) Constance is now engaged to J.J. Carroll who submitted the tape application (he was on the tape) for that family.

Sniff sniff. I need a kleenex.

ETA: And Tracey is engaged to Barry Watson of "7th Heaven". I think they knew each other in high school (or at least grew up in same town).

I look forward to this show every week as do dds(8&4). It is amazing what they can do in a week. I remember when the show first started how the team would get cranky with each other all the time. Now either its not shown, or they realize what an amazing thing they are doing and getting cranky just isn't worth it.
My 4 yr old loves the show so much she wants a pink hard hat and tool belt to go with her work bench. I might have to find one for her.......and her doll. Gotta love it.

Great ep last night. I think I would die if I had 6 babies at one time though.

Six toddlers running around! I just loved the way they did their bedroom.

I loved the three-ring circus theme. With all that open space in the middle to play, it looked so inviting and fun. The only thing I thought would be a problem was the dry-erase wall. As soon as I saw it, I thought to myself that the designers must not have small children, or they'd know what happens when you give a two- year-old a marker. Sure enough, the next scene they're marking on the floor, and the door. Why wouldn't they, if it's okay to mark on a wall, why not the floor? It will be nice when they get a little older. The movable door was a good idea, too.
I wish they would spend just a little more time showing us the rooms. We barely saw anything of the treehouse, and they go so fast sometimes I can't really see what they've done. I finally started taping it, so I could play it back slowly.
I loved the style of the house. The nanny was a nice thought, too. One two-year-old is tough, six would be impossible.

Oh yeah they definately need a nanny. I also loved the hidden staircase from the master bedroom to the playroom. Wish I had a treehouse.

Mocha - all the time I was growing up, I wanted a treehouse so badly. When my son was about ten, we built him one. I think he played in it about three times. Of course, it didn't have a roof, or electricity, or a slide. He did run a really long extension cord to it once so he could watch tv.
I don't usually watch the Monday edition of this show, but I think I will tonight in the hope of seeing more of the interior.
I wonder if they'll have trouble finding a nanny?

Well if anybody in marketing had a hint of an idea... sending that family several cases of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (to take care of all those errant marks on the walls and floors...) would be a very good idea....(and then getting the family on a commercial to tout the product!)

Two year olds and markers...those of us with kids know all about that! LOL! ... Can't imagine 6 at one time with markers in both hands! (Was very pleased that they included that in the cut - and loved Ty saying ... well they've had the house for about 3 minutes....)

I thought the show was great. When I saw those markers, I thought someone will do lots of cleaning.
