What is the name of the show where they try to find people with really bad luck, and do good things for them? I saw a commerical for an episode where a girl was allergic to the sun, so they built her a special house to accomodate her problem?

extreme makeover: home edition. it's on ABC Sunday nights before Desp. Housewives

wife loves to watch because of Ty, I like it because of the hot designers(female!) in tight tops!

it was on sunday. they showed the behind the scenes of it on monday. that contractor was a heck of a guy. he decided to do the basement, which they didnt show in the original episode, all on his own. They were going to leave it out of the design but he went ahead and did it anyway. he also got his company together to agree to take out money from there 401k's to pay for college for the 2 boys.

Wow, that's sorta extortionistic... I mean, his employees probably felt some pressure to contribute or maybe they'd not be appreciated.

Ah well, glad for those families that are getting help, even if I am jealous of their new fame and fortune.

I watched one of the fixit shows last night and the carpenter, Jenny, had a 'I <heart> nerds' t-shirt that was formfitted over her rather large bossom. I don't know if it was a joke or she really likes nerds, but, she wore it for 3 days (in show time).

Neadless to say, I watched the whole show.
