The story behind this one: ABC had a series called ''Extreme Makeover'' which was about improving people's looks through plastic surgery. Someone decided to make a spinoff -- technically, what this show is ''supposed'' to be doing is like plastic surgery, only to houses. As it happens, while drastically making over a person is [[{{Squick}} a little challenging]] even among the mainstream [[note]](that show, along with fellow plastic-surgery-glorifying reality show ''The Swan'' on Creator/{{FOX}}, attracted considerable controversy for promoting [[HollywoodBeautyStandards unrealistic body image goals]] and normalizing [[UnnecessaryMakeover using plastic surgery as a way to solve personal problems]])[[/note]], drastically rebuilding a ''house'' for deserving people is definitely feel-good programming, besides offering ample opportunities for ProductPlacement -- and the show always tries to make sure that those who are having their houses rebuilt appear deserving. Thus, while the original ''Extreme Makeover'' only lasted four seasons, this ran for nine. In December 2011, however, it was announced that the show would end in January 2012 after nine successful seasons. The series has been resurrected for special episodes, including a ChristmasSpecial in December 2012.

Creator/{{ABC}} RealityShow where a group of people build (or rather get other people to build for them) a BigFancyHouse for the poor, downtrodden family of the week. Frequently features former ''Series/TradingSpaces'' carpenter Ty Pennington; later seasons frequently include various celebrities in the design teams.

* Catch22Dilemma: People who received homes were usually poor, meaning that later on, they would be likely to take out loans using their new home for collateral. If they couldn't repay the loans, the bank would foreclose on their home, landing them in the same situation as before. The growing number of cases where that exact scenario played out like clockwork was probably at least partially responsible for the show's cancellation.
