FOX is making over America one family at a time with Renovate My Family.

From fine-tuning each family member's personal appearance, to architectural face-lifts of the home, to "pimped-out" cars and even something special for the pets, nothing is left undone on this life-altering makeover series. "This is the most comprehensive makeover show ever on television," said Darnell. "Leaving no stone unturned, this crew of experts will literally change people's lives, taking on every member of the family. They'll transform sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, dogs, cars and will even strip a house down to studs if they have to."

Hosted by best-selling author Jay McGraw, son of Dr. Phil McGraw, Renovate My Family is not just a home-improvement show – it's a life improvement program that visits families who have encountered some challenge along the way. Whether it be weight issues, physical disabilities or a home that is crumbling, Renovate My Family can overcome any obstacle, get families back on track and help them forge ahead toward their goals. A panel of makeover professionals – a stylist, an interior designer, a construction crew, and even experts to re-invent cars and pets – will help restore and redecorate the lives of families in need.

McGraw spent his adolescence learning and living his father's "Life Strategies." Since he was 19, McGraw has been at the forefront of teen authorities, translating his father's philosophies into language teens can understand and enjoy. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller, "Life Strategies For Teens," and "Closing The Gap: A Strategy for Bringing Parents and Teens Together." His most recent best-selling book is "The Ultimate Weight Solution For Teens: The 7 Keys to Weight Freedom."

Renovate My Family is from Rocket Science Laboratories, the producers of "Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy," "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé" and "Joe Millionaire." Jean-Michel Michenaud, Chris Cowan and Ray Giuliani serve as executive producers. Janelle Fiorito serves as co-executive producer.

  Hi, am a resident of Nairobi in Kenya ( East Africa) and a fan of "renovate my family" programme which is currently showing on our television (Kenya Television Network) KTN. To be honest it is always amazing to see the various families that are transformed by that simple phone call. Well am now challenging you or the sponsors of this exercise to extend their help to Africa, and specifically, Kenya. There are many Schools in our country that are in dire need of a make over. Most schools don't even have a plastered building, or a desk to sit on! You could spend what you do on a house back in California, on a whole school of about 1000 students into a modern institution including computers!! Just imagine how many lives you would have touched by that simple task!!!! Am talking from experience because I have participated in afew. The tears of joy of these students and their parents knows no bounds. Am here if you need more info. Thanks, MAXLIDE tel: +254-721918213-Nairobi, Kenya. less «

  What you guys are doing is assume and great. I wish I could be the family chosen for your show....If ever you decide to go international.....please come to South Africa and consider me hide « show »

  What you guys are doing is assume and great. I wish I could be the family chosen for your show....If ever you decide to go international.....please come to South Africa and consider me. To take a family and change the way the dress and live is the most honorable thing anybody can do. We all need to be reminded of how important human life is and for your show to go ahead and try and better it is totally asume. I wish I was American tell your country folk that they have no Idea how lucky they are. There far more worst living conditions in the rest of the world then what they find themselves in.

  If you don't hate Fox this is a reason to hate them. They are just a idea stealing network. They can't think of an original idea so they copied ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. This is unoriginal Fox trash. hide « show »

  This isn't even an original idea. Fox is just stealing idea's that other networks have. They have American Idol, they have the Superbowl and now they want more. So they copy the same exact idea that ABC has, and just uses it for their own benefit. By the way Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is a billion times better then Fox's Renovate my Family. I hate Fox because they are nothing more then a stupid network. I prefer ABC, NBC, and CBS compared to Fox. The only good shows they ever had where Married with Children, The Simpsons and Family Guy. They ruined sitcom tv, and American Idol is the most hyped trash on television. Its all so stupid. They are so dumb on Fox that they made Fox News Channel (CNN is a billion times better), and FSN to try to compete with ESPN. Fox is an unoriginal trashy network. Other then Family Guy (which now is on CN) they have nothing. They are to dumb to think of Original idea's so they copy stuff from ABC.

  3.9 Bad

  Some good ideas for reality TV that are done much better on the shows they were stolen from. hide « show »

  This show is like a puzzle. It reminds me of taking pieces from a bunch of different jigsaw puzzled and trying to jam them together into a single picture. Even if you manage to get a lot of the pieces to go together, the overall picture will still not look very good.
  
  A lot of these ideas are great on the shows they were stolen from. There is just too much stuff jammed into this show to really be able to appreciate it. Renovating the home is a big deal and then they tack on the health and makeovers, which just end up being distracting.
