Article from WRTV6's website, follow-up of the McFarland house (from EMHE's last ep)

I plan to watch the follow up on the news as well. That neighborhood is one of many that really needed help.

If they had gone to the part of the same street the McFarlands live on, but just south of 10th street? They probably would have gotten shot at. Indy is funny that way.

I've heard from a few sources that local people are grumbling because Mr. McFarland has been complaining about some things with the house, and he's been removing some of the landscaping.

I watched it on WRTV [the ABC affiliate in Indy] last night (WRTV's doing a follow-up piece this evening on the McFarlands). Very good story indeed. :-)

I watched it. It was pretty good with them not only helping the family but the community. That dad seems really great - trying to help out a lot of people. "Lift as you climb."

What I was wondering was how did they let them adopt 7 kids with an inadequate home for them to live in?
I mean 9 people with one bathroom?
For these kids tho the house was fine, perfectly adequate and much better than living in China. The video was fake showing the blind girl hitting the wall with her head.

Ty Fucking Pennington.

He is reading from a script people! He doesnt do anything! He is the host. He reads what the writers have him say. The producers set the whole thing up, not Ty. The producers to all the work, then the writers and the directors and the people on the building crew do the rest of the work. Ty does the least of anyone..but he keeps saying "Can we do this? We are going to have to do this fpr them! This family does SO much for others and we are going to do...

I don't usually watch this show, BECAUSE of what has been said in this page of comments. Example - This season had a local family whose house was rebuilt to accommodate the family's two childrens' wheelchairs. BUT - their old house was a very good looking home that I would feel lucky to live in. I had to wonder why they had to completely demolish the old house and build a new one? There's no way they could just purchase a home more accommodating to wheelchairs? As has been...

That's my big beef. The ones that seem to be having the most trouble are those that remortgaged. Granted, the show doesn't always pay off the mortgage. But if they do, you don't remortgage no matter how desparate things may seem. Your house is free and clear. You then should be able to afford the extra "costs" of the house.

The house they just built in Holt, MI (the husband nurse that died - it aried about three weeks ago or so - the guy that built the...

Deaf 'Extreme Makeover' couple gets financial aid

OAK PARK, Mich. - Several thousand dollars have rolled in for a deaf Michigan couple who feared they were going to lose the home whose renovation was viewed by millions on TV in 2004.

Judy and Larry Vardon say the money should help them avoid foreclosure on the Oakland County home that was refurbished to better accommodate their blind, autistic son. The...

Plus these idiot homeowners refinanced their newer, more valuable homes to get the cash equity out of it to by some more shit they probably didn't need to begin with. Then the mortgage rate jumps and they're fucked.

Sorry. I can't feel sorry for them.

Obviously those leeches who are begging the show to "give" them a house do not know that with a bigger house comes additional expenses. I don't think it is automatic that the mortgage of their old house is paid off the show. Some episodes they do pay, and some they don't. Having a new, more expensive house means a higher property tax; not to mention, more area for a/c to cool down, heat up, and more rooms to light up.

No such thing as a free lunch.

I don't watch this show very often, but this was the deaf family from Nov. 2004. There are several posts about this episode on pg 6 of this thread.

I Love this show! It certainly does not suck so maybe it does not need to have a thread here

It's pretty much all about good feelings on this show. You have the hot Ty Pennington, a deserving family having a wonderful thing happening to them.. What's not to love??

This show is on my Tivo list & I the only time I am disappointed with an episode is when it is a repeat.
