'School Pride': Sneak peek NBC's feel-good reality makeover show
NBC wants to get into the life-changing, tearjerker reality show business in earnest.The network has added the uplifting alternative program "School Pride" to the curriculum for fall.
It's sort of an "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" but the edifice being made over isn't a house, but a public school that's badly in need of repair. In the sneak peeks below, check out the crew coming to revamp Enterprise Middle School in Compton, Calif.
Leading the students, teachers and parents in changing this key element in their community is a team of four -- SWAT Commander Tom Stroup, interior designer Susie Castillo ("House of Payne"), comedian and former substitute teacher Kym Whitley ("Til Death") and political correspondent Jacob Soboroff ("AMC News").
"School Pride" is executive produced by "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actress Cheryl Hines and Denise Cramsey ("Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and "True Beauty").

Have anyone considered the schools that are really in need? LACES have parents in the entertainment industry and that's how the school was chosen. LACES raise over $150,000 a year from "Friends". Schools in need do not have families that can contribute this amount of money. School Pride Wrong
