What's On Tonight: Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Beyond Scared Straight, Four Weddings

TV tips for Friday, Jan. 13.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, 8 and 9 p.m., ABC

It is hard to imagine what life will be like without EM:HE. Of course I am being slightly facetious, but let’s think about it, as we look to the 9 p.m., series finale for this show. “Bus driver, move that bus!” is a catch phrase. Ty Pennington became famous. Hundreds of deserving people got ridiculous new houses. We shed gallons of tears and used up pounds of tissues over nine seasons. Tonight, in a four-hour extravaganza that helps to rebuild tornado-ravaged Joplin, MO., America will say goodbye to EM:HE. I for one have enjoyed the ride.
