Did anyone watch this? As our family is rife with bonafide, coffee-and-cigarettes-style AA meeting alcoholics and junkies, I feel compelled to watch it, as addiction is something that I have to deal with struggle to accept. Thus far it seems like a "oh the poor addicts!" sort of thing, but I hope they give some time to the side of the story that feels like these people are selfish little pricks. I'm pretty conflicted.

If you're in the whole AA world, do you watch Intervention?

They had the guy from Three Dog Night doing an intervention on his kid last night. It's actually a decent show for showing a fairly honest prortrayal of the people they focus on.

And, ain't it weird when at holidays the change comes in and all the people who used to be hammered and picking fights are suddenly just chain smoking and drinking coffee while they like "share" and shit?

The A&E show "Intervention" is a million times better.

I was pretty dissapointed in this, especially because Albert Maysles was involved. I expect more from the Measles Brovers.

I'm a grown ass man, player, I don't get hangovers. And I have to get up to get my wife to work and floss with the dog and drink enough coffee so I can make it through to make her lunch and then I can really start kicking'em when the games start. Sleep is the cousin of death! Today's like my Chanukah and I am too excited to sleep.

Also I was probably in bed by midnight or whenever the carolina game was over.

That guy was nuts, talk about an enabling mother though. I believe that was an old one.

The new season of the show begins tonight with a suburban oxycontin addict...can't wait. Sure makes me feel a whole hell of a lot better about my drug use.

Winner for best under-appreciated post. I'd make this my sig, if I didn't hate sigs with an unholy passion.

The crack addict episode of the arrogant TV "personallity" who filmed absolutely everything... including filiming himself hitting his wife in front of their kids... he's hitting her and yelling at her and he's filiming himself do this... he's being taken away by the police and he's filimg himself...he's cracking his car and he's filiming himself... he's fucking up a quantity of crack by not knowing how to smoke it and he's filming himself....was one of the weirdest things.
