No waterworks during tonight's episode of Extreme Home, but boy did I get choked up on more than one occasion. The part that got me the most was the design team and some of the work crew holding up the age-progressed pictures of missing children and telling their names, the dates of their disappearances and how long they had been missing. I probably would have started to cry if I hadn't been sitting at the table eating my dinner and being in front of my parents.
When I first heard about this episode, I thought the story seemed familiar. That only intensified when Colleen told her story to Ty, and I told my Mom that I thought the program 'Unsolved Mysteries' had aired that same story at one point in time. So afterwards I surfed the 'Net, and lo and behold I was right.
Lots of good bits in this one. I nearly busted a gut laughing at Paul needing a thirteen year-old to support him while he tried to skateboard. Paul, my friend, stick to carpentry. T'was interesting that they allowed the family to actually watch the house demo in person; of course, given that they were leaving on vacation on day 2 instead of the first day as is per usual, the Nicks probably would have missed it otherwise. And what, may I ask, was with Ty's self-abuse while he was shouting on the bullhorn during the credits for the first hour? And why didn't we see his usual "crazy bullhorn schtick" during the furniture move-in? Not enough time?
My favorite part was the fact that the design team did a room for Morgan, even after it hadn't been in the original design plan. Even though it's been ten years, I sincerely hope that someday Colleen Nick can turn that lantern on her porch off because her daughter has come home.
Finally got my hands on Season 1 of The Muppet Show last Wednesday, after going to the ever-so-fun PALS meeting. My sarcasm aside, the meeting wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I think FirstSearch is going to become my second favorite method of interlibrary loan (first is Innovative); the only thing I have to do now is find out whether we're going to do hardcopy paperwork for FirstSearch the same way we've been doing it, or if we're just going to print out the finished report page that FirstSearch gives us.
So anyway, back to the Muppets. So far I've made it halfway through the second disc (I'm presently in the middle of Robin's "Halfway Down the Stairs" number of the Harvey Korman episode). And I'll probably wind up going through all four discs at least two or three more times, and at least once with the "Muppet Morsels" feature on. I've also got to go through the episodes again so I can properly update my Scooter website with all of his season 1 appearances. I'm aiming to have the site updated by Tuesday, being that it's Richard Hunt's birthday and all.
