Renovation Rescue

Renovation Rescue is an Australian TV show capitalising on Australia's love affair with home renovation. It's the same idea of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, but with a few differences: ⁕The renovation only takes two days, not a full week. ⁕Instead of waking up the family by bellowing through a megaphone, they simply knock on the door. ⁕No bus covers the house when the family returns home. ⁕There is no "secret room" in the household when under renovation. The series showed a group of people of all trades renovating a house in just two days. The show was presented by three hosts, Rebecca Harris, Scott Cam and Peter Everett. Scott would always have a celebrity apprentice in the show such as Rozz Switzer who appeared on the show's first season when they did up the house of a retired firefighter and his family.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is an American reality television series providing home improvements for less fortunate families and community schools. The show is hosted by carpenter and veteran television personality Ty Pennington. Each episode features a family that has faced some sort of recent or ongoing hardship such as a natural disaster or a family member with a life-threatening illness, in need of new hope. The show's producers coordinate with a local construction contractor, which then coordinates with various companies in the building trades for a makeover of the family's home. This includes interior, exterior and landscaping, performed in seven days while the family is on vacation and documented in the episode. If the house is beyond repair, they replace it entirely.

Rescue 911

Rescue 911 is an informational reality-based television series that premiered on April 18, 1989 and ended on August 27, 1996. The series was hosted by William Shatner and featured reenactments of emergency situations that often involved calls to 911. Though never intended as a teaching tool, various viewers used the knowledge they obtained watching the show. Two specials, titled "100 Lives Saved" and "200 Lives Saved," were dedicated to viewers who had written to CBS with their stories on how the knowledge they obtained watching the show allowed them to save the life of someone else. At least 350 lives have been saved as a result of what viewers learned from watching it. The show's popularity coincided with the widespread adoption of the 911 emergency system, replacing standalone police and fire numbers that would vary from municipality to municipality. The number is now universally understood in the United States and Canada to be the number dialed for emergency assistance nationwide.
