Fall TV Preview

What To Expect: Expect to have plenty of tissues on hand again. This series typically draws tears – very honest ones – for its sincere efforts to help people who have fallen on hard times, making the sort of home improvement projects ultimately orchestrated by Ty Pennington and company seem all but impossible for the fortunate recipients. In an upcoming episode recorded in Texas, country music star Trace Adkins helps renovate the home of a wounded Dallas policeman.

In the two-part season premiere, Patricia Heaton and musical group Five For Fighting help the gang assist the Huber family of South Range, Wisconsin. Howard Huber is a hero firefighter married to service-minded Jessica. When Howie and Jessica met, they each felt they'd found a true partner, someone who valued hard work and community involvement. They bought a dilapidated farmhouse, figuring that Howie could fix it up within a few years, as he used to work in construction. Although they were struggling financially, Jessica, a nursing student, encouraged Howie to pursue his lifelong dream of being a firefighter. Through long hours of hard work and with as many as five jobs between them, the Hubers were able to both pay off their debt and see Howie established as the most popular and most decorated firefighter in town. In the meantime, both Hubers did everything they could to repair the old house that was the only home they could afford. Unfortunately, they now know that it's far beyond their ability to repair. The two story farmhouse has a chimney separating from house, improperly installed windows and severe water damage throughout; the electrical, heat and sewage systems are unsafe; every time Howie goes to work, he fears that the next 911 call he intercepts might be about his own home. Now it's up to Ty and the gang to allay Howie's fear and fulfill his wish to have a home that's safe for their children.
