On Television

Somehow Extreme Makeover always gets under the skins of its fans:

I was watching a re-run of Extreme Makeover, Home Edition yesterday, and I don't know what it is about this show, but when I watch it I turn into my mother. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but who would have guessed that the person who couldn't even shed a tear for My Life and Shindler's List (myself) would be crying uncontrollably at the sight of a deserving family receiving a home? (I mention the morphing of myself into a prototype of my parents because an endearing trait about my mom is that she gets emotional over every movie/latenight T.V. show we watch.)
