Three Nassau Families To Appear On 'George To The Rescue'

Three families from the South Shore will be appearing in the eighth season of NBC's "George to the Rescue," a home renovation show that helps improve the houses of families in need.

The show, which premieres on Saturday, Sept. 23, features George Oliphant helping to improve the homes, and the lives, of people with disabilities. This season will feature families from Merrick, Bellmore and Island Park.

"'George to the Rescue' is all about helping deserving families with life-changing renovations," Oliphant said in a release. "This season's projects are focused on people who are bravely facing significant physical challenges and obstacles. We're honored to make their daily lives a little bit easier."

On Oct. 14, the show will broadcast an episode filmed in Merrick, where Oliphant and his team created a music space for two sisters and their family, who have overcome significant medical challenges. Two weeks later, on Oct. 28, an episode filmed in Bellmore will air, in which the builders complete a full-floor renovation for two teachers and their son, who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The next week, on Nov. 4, the show features a family from Island Park, where Oliphant renovates an office and kitchen for a teen with cystic fibrosis.

The show airs Saturdays on LX TV. Check your cable provider for times.
