i occasionally see some of this show because my wife watch it sometimes . i try to enjoy it for it basic idea which be help a needy family and but several factor get in the way for me . every episode follow the same format where many part seem totally script ( which they be ) and tear flow seemingly on cue . the attempt to manipulate the viewer with a mixture of emotional breakdown and sad music be a real turn off for me . the fact that everyone who donate something to the house and be it sear or whoever and have to plug themselves for be generous be also annoy . probably the big problem i have with it all be that what must be huge amount of money and a small army of worker be combine to build an amazingly over the top home for a single family . now i know that this amount of money be nothing but a drop in the bucket for disney or abc but how much more could be do for more people with the amount they be put on one house . instead of focus on one family and get them all to cry during the episode why not help 10 family and show highlight . isn not life difficult enough for the average person . why do i need help find thing to feel sad about and why not show something truly inspire without be manipulative . i know what be be do for these family be good and but they be also be use for rating . you can not tell me they aren not be coach sometimes on the cry . i guess when i see these people move into a home that most hard work people in the u. s. could not afford for their child it really bother me . i can not help but think of what could really be do with a small portion of disney money . instead of give each member of the family a flat screen tv and or personal shower that tell you the water temperature and shoot out of the ceiling why not help more people afford food and clothes and education and medical insurance . i know so we can be entertain and have a good cry . in term of money and i feel the same about oprah . i do not think anyone can actually conceive the amount of money she possess . yes her recent reality show do good thing and but when she give $ 30 and 000 to each lose contestant i be sit here think . that a year salary for many and many people . if theyre lucky . don not get me start on game show . so i realize that extreme makeover home edition be do good and but forgive me if i see it a more self serve than give of itself . be there anyone out there that feel similar .
