It doesn't seem that long ago, but it has been. I used to love Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The crying, the building, the joy, the crying, the building, the crying and the crying. It became my secret affair. I would play it off as "killing time" before Desperate Housewives, but I secretly enjoyed it equally as Desperate Housewives. But let's be serious here, 100 episodes of Ty yelling and crying some more?
Gasmii, this Sunday, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will have it's 100th episode. Truthfully, I haven't seen the show in over a year. I started getting sick of it because the show became more about who had the stronger ailment, or whose son was more paralyzed. I couldn't take it anymore, so I just stopped watching it all together.
My break-up with the show became as sudden and black and white as when Forrest Gump just didn't feel like running anymore.
It all of the sudden became background noise for me, but let's face it, people are still watching the show and that's why it's still on. After all, According to Jim never stopped running and I thought no body watched it, but it still seems to creep into the schedule somehow. What I've learned from this holiday is to celebrate shows that have legs forever instead of celebrating their cancellation. So, here's to you Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Happy 100th Episode. Check it out: Sunday, November 25 at 7/6c on ABC.
