''Extreme Makeover: Home Edition'' (''EM:HE''; sometimes informally referred to as ''Extreme Home Makeover'') is an American reality television series providing home improvements for less fortunate families and community schools. The show is hosted by former model, carpenter and veteran television personality Ty Pennington. Each episode features a family that has faced some sort of recent or ongoing hardship such as a natural disaster 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 spin-off of ''Extreme Makeover'', an earlier series providing personal makeovers (often including plastic surgery) to selected individuals, which the ''Home Edition'' outlasted. 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 ''Trading Spaces'', on which Pennington was previously a key personality. The series is produced by Endemol USA (the people behind ''Big Brother'', ''Fear Factor'', ''Deal or No Deal'', ''Wipeout'', and other reality shows) in association with Disney-ABC Television Group's Greengrass Television. The current Executive Producers are Brady Connell and George Verschoor. 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 4:3 standard definition and never converted to a high definition 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. ==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 ABC'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 TV Land on Tuesday August 7, 2007, making it the youngest non-original show to air on the network. The show is also in syndication on CMT. The show is hosted by Ty Pennington, formerly a carpenter on the show ''Trading Spaces''. 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 Hurricane Katrina 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 The Muppets, property of ABC, engaging in comical scenes with the design team. However, their scenes were usually filmed after the renovation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Extreme Makeover: Home Edition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
