TV Land Acquires 'Extreme Home Makeover', And Detail Summer Plans; Additional ABC Summer News
The hit series will begin its fifth season on ABC this fall. Like Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, & Medium on Lifetime, the show will air just once a week, but it is likely the deal will allow for 5-days-a-week play in a few years, like those series will on Lifetime.
