ABC-TV deserves every penny it earns from it's show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Tonight's episode involving deaf parents of two children, one of whom is blind and autistic, was truly an experience. God has worked a miracle through the television network to bless this family with a fantastic house that is not just a wonderful place to live, but actually provides peace of mind. And to boot they managed to get a $50,000 college scholarship for the eldest son. Without the impairments of his brother or his parents he is a rock that keeps the family steady as they deal with the world.
Maybe the network executives didn't know what they were doing when they first put on this show but I'm very glad they agreed to air the program. Maybe the viewer will pick up some decorating tips or construction ideas, but that's not the idea. It's not a do-it-yourself type show like Home Time from PBS nor is it a personality-driven version of the same like the Trading Spaces shows from TLC. It's more about telling the story of a family and how their home can be made-over to better fit their life.
Thank you, ABC-TV!!
