joel After a couple false positives, we have it official: the Erie build of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will air on Sunday, December 13th on ABC television. The release by WJET/Erie on YourErie.com:
“Finally…Erie’s time to shine in prime time has finally arrived!”
That was the reaction of JET-TV’s GM/VP Tim Dunst to word that ABC has confirmed the Erie edition of Extreme Makeover Home Edition will air on Sunday December 13, 8pm-10pm, on JET-TV.
JET-TV also announced that it will air a one-hour special called “The Making of Erie’s Extreme Makeover” beginning at 7pm. According to Dunst, “JET-TV had exclusive access to the Erie building project and to many of the people involved in the project including Extreme Makeover Designer Paul DiMeo .”
In late June and early July, the Extreme Makeover team from ABC was in Erie to build a new home for Clara Ward on E 21st St. Hundreds of volunteers joined Maleno Builders and other contractors to help make the project a reality. Dunst added, ” This two hour special on Clara Ward will be a fabulous show. It’s a tribute to Ward, her family, and the people in Erie who came together to make it happen.”
ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition…Erie’s episode…Sunday December 13th…on JET-TV.
The two-hour special indicates the strength of Clara’s story and the drama of the week, with the crash of the concrete footers off of the truck on Buffalo Road, along with the rain. Can’t wait!

Shame they don’t show all **edit** that lives in the neighborhood that bitched to the workers. That neighborhood should be **edit** and turned into a park. Some of **edit** live around there. Police officer Joe Burchik was shot and killed only a few blocks from there. Its a shame they couldn’t find a better area to build her a new home.
PR…why y’all gotta hate?
I hope with the extra time they include some of our “extreme” blood drive!
JET’s one hour special will probably be “Mike Gallagher covers EMHE.”
I can’t believe they picked such a **edit** neighborhood to build a huge house in. might as well built the house on the landfill. what a waste of money
Maybe they chose this house because she is a woman who takes in all of the neighborhood kids for free? I don’t see any of you wanting to take children in and feeding them everyday with out getting rewarded. Crime is everywhere. I work right by there and yes some of the people there could have had a better life if they tried, but some of them came from nothing. Just because you were born into a life were you don’t have to live in those “bad” areas does not mean you have to criticize them for it. They are more accepting and open-minded than you guys will ever be, and for that they are one step ahead of you.
