It started April 18, 2005. When Ty Pennington's mom's house burnt down, then he had a feeling he needed to help the needy

It actually started before 1993. According to the executive producer who came to our town (Medford, Oregon) - see McPhail house episode to be shown this season, the show originated as a show called Space Invaders, but they were lacking a good story behind the makeovers. After deciding to help a family who's child was diagnosed with lukemia they now had their story. This new show needed a push to get picked up by a network so they teamed up with Extreme Makeover to start EM:HE.
