I googled and came up with Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

The guy on the show, Paul, I think, cries enough for me.

I am no scrooge.

I am easily moved.

This show just makes me want to cringe.

We call it "Must Cry TV" in our house, because my wife and daughter are usually bawling by the end of it.

I can confirm that!

elwing likes to watch the show, but even she has complained that it's not so much any more about the home makeover as it is about the family in need. In the beginning they would talk about the work, how it was done, etc., but now that's just a passing thing.

Why should she complain about that?

What's more important- the family's needs or how they did the wainscotting in the dining room?

It's not that elwing is heartless, but she likes knowing how things are done (possibly with an eye toward doing something like it herself - she is very handy with tools, unlike yours truly). I've suggested she might prefer "Trading Spaces" or another of the shows of that genre.

I agree with her.

For once, I would just like to see an average family without a sob story, have their house redone.

Well, most people would not tune in to see such a show.

"Why them and not us?"


Now, when they choose people who really do not need help, . . .

that is a different matter.

You could make the same argument that there are other needy families in each state - why one and not the others?

Telegenics and fresh hooks, of course!

Otherwise EM:HE could just stay in New Orleans for the next decade or so...
