Three's Company - TV

Erie has always been the light of our lives, but now it is brightening up the TV airwaves again. Being in the spotlight of three television shows.

Meadville's own comedian Tammy Pescatelli will debut her new reality show "A Stand-Up Mother" tonight at 10 p.m. on WEtv. The show will feature Pescatelli, 41, with her husband Luca Palanca, 42, their son Luca Jr., 2, and members of their extended families in their Meadville home.

Tuesday's first episode introduces the clan through an unusual party - a "Wed-tismal." Pescatielli and her husband didn't have time to have a wedding reception or a baptism for their son, so they have one big party. And, of course, work beckons. Pascatelli's agent calls her for an LA audition that conflicts with the party. So she needs to videotape her audition.

It sounds like this show will definitely feature a lot of characters.

Next up. HGTV's Income Property is coming to America and one of the three cities they will be renovating will be Erie, PA! Income Property (currently only in Canada) creates awesome renovations for rental spaces in a homeowners house. So you can apply to today, if you have an income suite in need of repair.

Be warned. You still have to pay for the renovations. The host Scott McGillivray gives the homeowner (and future landlord) two options for renovations, one more affordable than the other. But it still is not a cheap re-do. Of course, you will be adding value to your home and knocking money off your monthly mortgage payment. I love the idea of doing this to a part of my house, especially with my close proximity to area colleges.

Lastly, Erie may be getting madeover, extreme-style, again. ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition announced last week, that it hopes to come back to Erie to give another deserving family's home a face lift. They were here two summers ago when they made over Clara Ward’s home on East 21st Street. Let's move that bus all the way to Erie.

If you know a deserving family, you can (and should) nominate them or apply yourself.

Congrats, Erie! Way to make us proud!
