This Old House TV won the Emmy for Outstanding Lifestyle Program at the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony held this weekend in Los Angeles.
The show was awarded for an episode of its New Orleans project, which featured the rebuilding of a c. 1892 Creole-style shotgun home in the Lower Ninth Ward that had been damaged in Hurricane Katrina. The crew traveled to New Orleans to tell this and other compelling stories about the people and organizations contributing to the city's revival.
Other nominees in the Outstanding Lifestyle Program category were "The Martha Stewart Show," "Flip This House," "Clean House," and "Peter Perfect."
This Old House has now earned a grand total of 17 Emmy Awards and garnered an impressive 82 nominations throughout its 30-year history.
