Intervention
 

Does anyone watch this? A new one is on right now on A&E.

I love Intervention- hard to watch, harder to look away.

Love it...didn't watch it tonight...I've been watching the LSU/Ohio State game. But I really do like Intervention.

I don't know why I like the show so much.... it's not like I'm laughing at the addicts or anything. I just find it really compelling.

I have watched intervention almost non stop since it started. But, I've gotten really confused--

It started on Sunday nights
Then it moved to Friday night
And, now, it comes on Monday night, right?

Anyway, I love the show. Again, don't know why. I am generally a documentary junkie though.

Dang, I thought this thread was going to be about Dr. Phil getting Brittney from the hospital....Yikes!

I really like watching this show too, but I haven't caught an episode in a while.

Thanks for the heads up that there are new ones out :D

Same here. I liked the show but stopped watching when it was moved to Friday nights. These days I don't even know when it's on. If I watch an episode it's only because I caught it by chance.

It's on!

It's on! This time, kids are involved. :(

OMG, when she can't get alcohol she drinks mouthwash!!!! Apparently it has more alcohol than beer. Massive ingestion of mouthwash can result in organ failure and death.

OMG I don't know if I will be able to finish this one.

I couldn't watch this one because it was just too crazy.

Plus, The O'Reilly Factor is on. :D

Tonight' s show starts here in 15 minutes!! It's supposed to be a follow up show I think. Can't wait!!

I love this show. LOVE IT. Sometime I wanna slap the people and be like-grow up already! Everyone has issues, freaking deal with it and don't use it as an excuse!! And other times you watch and think-OMG, that poor person and what they've gone through. What gets me is always how the family suffers as well.

Do you watch that because you like Bill or for the same reason I sometimes flip to FoxNews (for laughs)?

Because I like Bill and enjoy the show.

I also watch Hannity and Colmes because I like Sean Hannity and enjoy the show.

But FoxNews is humorous in that they crack jokes, especially at CNN's expense. :)

Oh :(

I assumed from your relevant, coherent, and thoughtful comments on politics in other threads that you were over here on the left side (even if not in Barack's corner).

Sorry about that. ;)

RIGHT!! I thought everyone knew you couldn't drink mouthwash. The bottles have a poison control statement on them. That was the worst alcoholic episode I've ever seen. It made me think of an old thread I started a while ago that I wanted to pull TTT, but I can't find it.

I was disappointed with the follow-up episode that came on afterwards.

I do love this show, though.

I'm not on the left side. :)

I missed part of last night's episode - was the mouthwash drinker the lady who used to be "supermom"? I felt so sorry for her children. I did catch the end - her husband finally divorced her, and she stayed sober for a while. I think it said she had been sober again for a month, maybe?

Yeah, that was her. I felt sooo bad for her. This story really tugged at my heart. I felt so horrible for those kids as well as her husband, a man who has stood by her for so long. She's been sober since January '08. I'm really rooting for her....if not for her own well-being, then for her kids' sake.

Do I watch it? I DVR it so I can fast forward through all the commercials.

Who saw the episode with the guy who was addicted to cold medicines. Yo... he swallowed a whole damn bottle (probably about 20+ pills) in one gulp. He had so many issues. Poor guy... :(

I never saw that one!

This alcoholic/meth addict tonight is sad. :( She's been an addict for 10 years.

They showed how she transitioned from "daddy's little girl" to the addict slob who lives in a guest house behind her dad's rental property. She's 110 lbs but can drink and take drugs 3 days straight without sleep. She has empty bottles in her junky ass guest house. The guest house is FILTHY. FILTHY. FILTHY.

She says she is truthfully a sister in Jesus Christ. Then sometimes she claims to be Satan's sister. She says she is A god. Her jacked up, drawn in, arched eyebrows scream "there is no god" but God bless her. :(

Thank you for posting.... I missed the first 15 minutes, but from your description I think I've seen this one.

Now I get an hour and 45 minutes of Intervention! (So not into Raisin in the Sun)

Raisin in the Sun doesn't have meth addicts who prostitute for their addiction.

That was a sad one... that child looks like death! :(

Did you start watching it? It wasn't good? Again the DVR is at work. I will probably check it out this weekend when I have more time! :)

Okay...drug addict, shmug addict...I would've royally whooped my sister's ass.

The sisters were fighting a couple of times and that (unfortunately) made me chuckle.

Yeah that was kinda funny. She was serious too... I was like girl your sister could break you!!!! :eek: Go sat down somewhere!! LOL

She got punched in the tittay!


Rita..... naw, I didn't see any of it. Raisin isn't one of my favorite stories in the first place. Plus, Diddy doesn't do it for me.

Drug related note: anyone notice the new "don't do Meth" ads? One's got a girl going "i'll just do it once" starting by smoking, then stealing money, eventually having sex with a guy for meth once and then her little sister "just trying it once"

The other had a girl get in the shower and look down at blood in the tub and start screaming, she looks over and sees herself post-meth use and her druggie self begs the currently clean self not to do it.

It was a "Fine Fine I won't do meth if you stop showing the commercials!" moment.

She was absolutely gross. It turned my stomach seeing that she was naked and living in a trash heap. She probably smells like fried ass.

Kim with the eating disorder is on.

"I regret that I didn't kill him." -- Kim's mother, referring to her husband who abused the kids.

I'm watching it. So sad.

I know these are mental and emotional disorders but I can't help but want to slap this one like I wanted to slap the meth addict woman who fought her sister in that other episode.
