'Vitale Family'
In two back-to-back episodes of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, a small two-bedroom house on Long Island, New York is transformed into a magnificent 2400-square-foot home for a young widower with three toddler sons.


THE Long Island cop whose home was rebuilt by 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' earlier this spring will get a two-hour episode May 15.
John Vitale, 32, a Suffolk County cop with three small sons, lost his wife to leukemia last summer. The family savings, which were intended to renovate the house, went for doctor bills. It was a rare springtime trip to the East Coast for the makeover show, especially at a time of year when the weather was so unpredictable.

ABC officials did not provide details about the inside of the home — but when work was done, the tiny, 900-square-foot house had been blown out to 2,300 square feet.

While the family was away, the community held a fundraiser for the cop and his family at the town's fire station, where neighbors and local businesses raised more than $125,000 to help him get back on his feet.

More than 3,000 people — including neighbors, friends, strangers, bagpipers and drummers from the Suffolk County Police Officer's Emerald Society Pipe Band — turned up in a cold rain to see the Vitale's reaction to their new home when they were brought back from a week-long vacation.

Catastrophe struck the family soon after they moved out of their North Shore home and temporarily set up living quarters with wife Anne-Marie's parents to make way for the original renovation.

Anne-Marie was only 28 when she died in August 2004.

The cop and his sons have been living with his in-laws, sleeping on couches and mattresses, since then.

Andrea--

I tried to TIVO the two shows and the Monday show is not coming up- it looks like the Bachelor finale is on that night! Could it be a different night or maybe ABC family?? Maybe the TIVO just isn't updated yet?

Just wanted to let you know and see if you knew anything different

Hmmm...that's weird. I'll look into it, thanks for checking!

ETA:
Effin' Bachelor!!!
Looks like the two episodes (Sunday show & then 'How'd They Do That') will just air back to back.

Not showing up on Sunday either on TIVO, Desperate Housewives is on! I will keep checking though in case it is updated!
