'Spontaneous Construction' review: Feel-good delight

In the show, Goldin harnesses social media to draw a flash mob -- he calls it a task mob -- to the Enrights' home, where they clean up the mess (mostly ruined drywall, flooring, wiring and plumbing) before the pros arrive to bang out the job -- in three days, no less. One of the show's gimmicks? The flash mob does a rousing dance -- to "New York Groove" -- before they start swinging the hammers. Another: "The View's" Sherri Shepherd turns up to help.

In true "Extreme Makeover" spirit -- and stop-motion photography -- a beautiful new home does, in fact, emerge, and the Enrights, who seem like a wonderful family, are made-for-TV ecstatic. Upbeat and infectiously pleased -- genre traits, by the way -- "Spontaneous Construction" doesn't tarry long enough to allow viewers to wonder about the many thousands of others still in need, or ask why the Enrights are any more deserving than any of those. But under the heading, "it's the thought that counts," this is a good thought that counted, and one that just might inspire other spontaneous construction projects in the months ahead. Which is another way of saying, the next flash mob you see may well be dancing with sledge hammers.
