I posted my own shaky, shot-while-standing-on-a-picnic-table version of this already, but since I managed to snag the official show footage, as well as the text version courtesy of the Zaharkos' cousin Rachel, I figured this lovely moment was worth revisiting. Enjoy!
Verizon gave a party.
And vans of people came.
our house became a studio.
our lives were brought to fame.
It started with a phone call.
Could they come and see
How a family with nine children
Used technology.
"You've failed the test," the gurus said.
But there's no need to worry.
We'll 2.0 your home
And we'll do it in a hurry.
Takes, retakes, and interviews
we all went through
What do you want? What do you need?
What can we do for you?
"keep us a family, together," mom said.
But we had bigger plans.
We wanted TVs, computers, and iPods,
maybe phones to hold in our hands.
But what we got was so much more
Four days of filming and fun.
Four days and nights of being together.
My mom had finally won.
And now it's time to reveal
Verizon's technology.
the work, the skill, the dreams come true
for my most grateful family.
Verizon gave a party.
Our friends and family all came.
Our house has been digitized.
Things will never be the same.

The editors are still working on the rest of the episodes as we speak, but we'll be updating the TV schedule soon, at the bottom-right of the show page.
