Academy honors TV shows with conscience

Posted by Gomez and Co. |



MARCH 20, 2009 - This week the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honored eight programs said to have a social conscience.

Among the eight shows was one of Gomez's favorites, Extreme Home Makeover. Gomez likes this reality show because it helps people who actually need help, and because it features Latino designer Eduardo Xol (pictured at right).

Xol is a native of East LA, and he is not only a phenomenal designer, but also an accomplished musician (scouted by the LA Philharmonic when he was just 10 years old), producer, actor, and all-around strapping hunk of genius.

Did we mention Xol has his own line of Quinceanera paper products? Gomez hopes this means streamers and banners and not, well. It's not polite to mention the possibilities - though that did not stop our much-admired brother in crime, Gustavo Arellano (Ask a Mexican) this week.

We jest, Mr. Xol. We are incredibly proud of you and you paper products, and we're happy to know the Academy has seen the value in the excellent show you are such a big part of. Now, when are you going to get your own show, hmm..?
