“Intervention” is probably scripted, but I still get so wasted off it, man.
It is no secret that I have a pretty expansive taste when it comes to television shows. It’s not like I exclusively watch unusual documentary programming or mediocre sitcoms, it’s just that with the advent of DVR and Cox cable’s surprisingly large selection of specialty HD channels, I consume huge amounts of TV on a weekly basis. I say the line-up here in New Orleans is “surprisingly” large because it is a surprise when any utility, public good or service down here functions as it should. This is the type of place where three consecutive days of mail service is cause for celebration, so while we may not actually get more HD channels than any typical metro area, it sure feels that way considering we have to pay to recycle and landline phone service has been know to go out for a few hours at a time on a sunny day.
Anyways. The point I am trying to make it is that I watch almost all of the typical TV shows that most people watch, but even after making time for those and surfing around MLB Extra Innings each evening, I somehow still have plenty of room on my schedule to watch a bunch of weird shit.
One of the shows that has caught my attention over the past few years is the docu-fuckscene that is Intervention on A&E (and now A&E HD!). For a long time, I was pretty sure that:
- I was the only one who watched it
- At least half of that shit was completely scripted. Read the rest of this entry »
