i just watch "tory and dean inn love" i must say i liked it. i found tory surprising likable, i never really cared that much for her, but she seems to have become a nice person - i wonder if she is really like that ? her husband seems nice, reminds me a lot of gene simmons' role on his family jewels show, he just sits back and shakes his head. i believe i will have to keep dvr'ing this show to see where it goes.

i am now watching "the last of the mohicans" for about the 2000th time. every time i watch it i fall in love with daniel day lewis - again. what is it about him with long hair, all sweaty in leather :drool:

i watched the premier of "intervention" for those who watch it has moved to friday nights now. this week the kid was an oxycontin addict. and my favorite interventionist ken was on there - hey, i am addicted to ken, maybe i could be on the show... :idontno:

i think this is a good idea to have your kids watch it. i agree with dbuck it is very depressing, but i think if more kids saw how low these poor addicts have fallen in life, it might curb their interest in drugs...

BECAUSE most of these kids and young adults in trouble on Intervention are not what our sheltered kids perceive them to be. Most come from stable families. It is depressing but also educational. Even Mr. JR is quite sheltered & naiive.

I guess what bothers me most is how these families can let a camera crew come in and record the whole thing.

Don't know if I could be that open about it either but I think they're trying to educate some? Maybe not tho. Maybe it's for the $$. I do know to begin a true intervention (Hazelden, etc.), some have to take out 2nd mortgages, use their life savings, etc.

Yes, I wondered if the production company was paying for the treatment in lieu of cash payment, I hope this is the case.
