Iraqi television station Al-Sharqiya has a hit on its hands with Labor and Materials, its version of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Of course, it has adapted the concept to match its target audience. Instead of replacing a house for a family dealing with a catastrophic illness or financial issues, the stars of Labor and Materials repair homes damaged in the war. The show has rebuilt more than half a dozen houses at an average cost of about $30,000.
