Makeover

Home improvement shows stalk KC. Too bad they aren't renovating the ailing Kaufman Sports Complex.

Kansas City firefighter Stephen Johnson and his five children had crammed into their living room for a morning chat Wednesday when a voice outside yelled from a megaphone.

“Good morning, Johnson Family!” boomed Ty Pennington, host of ABC's hit reality show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”

With military precision, television crews, producers, builders and interior designers converged on East 79th Street in Kansas City, where Johnson and his children have lived for seven years.

And from a related article by Liz Gutierrez:

In a harmonic convergence of carpentry, three TV home makeover shows are filming on location in the Kansas City area.

“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” is just the beginning.

This weekend, TLC's “While You Were Out” finishes shooting the last of four episodes here . . .

HGTV is also in town this week. A Denver production company is scheduled to film a few area homes for the cable network's before-and-after show, “Generation Renovation.” The 30-minute show, which runs at 7 p.m. Wednesdays, spotlights renovations achieved through homeowner sweat equity.
