\"Intervention\"
 

Can't really decide whether this is a beat or a brag...probably just variance.

Anyway, i can't stop watching this show. Is it because i feel better about myself when watching it? Not really sure, it could be. I always feel sorry for people, and this show just fuels it. I feel bad for the 30 year old manager at McDonalds....for the bum on the street. To me this show is captivating.

Do any of you watch it?

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

I've seen a couple of episodes. More boring than I though it would be.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

That show is awesome. I remember the one about the alcohoic, then the heroin addicts. So many great ones, that show is right up my alley cuz im [censored] up in the head too LDO.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

This show is like a dirty pleasure, it's weird because they could run this show forever, because how easy is it to follow around an addict then send them to rehab?
Yet it's still so interesting because we all love a good drug addiction story to make ourselves feel good.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

is that what it is? i watch it to make myself feel good? i mean....i really feel badly for these people.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

I liked the one with the old hobo drunk, they had to stop and get him booze so he wouldn't croak on the way to rehab. Awesome.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

Never heard of it. Was expecting an Arcade Fire youtube video and/or RickRoll.

did you guys see the one with the ex pro ball player?

At the end he was going to rehab to turn his life around. He loved his family/daughter and all that good [censored]. Then right before the end they say, "2 months after rehab Anton relapsed. A week later he vanished and was never seen or heard from again".

yeah, i liked that one too.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

There was this heroin addict that lived with his parents and I remember the one part where his mom gave him money and drove him to go get it. Classic.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

I remember one about a dude with a huge gambling problem. Not poker, he was into like blackjack, roulette other unbeatable games. His parents had to sell their house to help pay his debt. The dude is forever broke and whenever he has money he goes to the casino and loses it.

There was a part where his parents were talking to him and he started freaking out and being a complete jerk to them. Acting like a baby because they wouldnt give him any money (parents near busto obv). Anyway that show rules.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

If only there was more violence and less pussy ass crying.
edit: but i kinda like the crying, really makes me get into it.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

That show is addicting because everyone knows someone like that or you are someone like that...

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

i have yet to see an intervention for a weed smoker.


"i sucked dick for coke. did you ever suck dick for weed?"

I remember that one - the guy was like a flamed out child prodigy. Somehow, he kept playing unbeatable games thinking that the math would eventually come around. That one was pretty sad.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

the alcoholics are my favorites. my gf loves this show, so i've a lot of episodes.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

Love this show,Sadly I do feel sorry for these people but it also makes me feel good about myself'

The one of the lady who stayed drunk all day by drinking mouthwash was one of strangest I have seen. Very,very sad.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

The families are always really really retarded. If you actually love and care for someone, maybe you should [censored] do something instead of giving them money for their drug ldo [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored].

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

this show is awesome, i dont really feel that bad for most of them cause obviously they got themselves into it. One of my favorites was the girl who smoked meth and drank and she would walk around her "house" naked. She had like these weird notebooks about her life and how she was a god and all this [censored]. i havent really seen any from the new season but if they are like the previous seasons im sure the show is still top notch.

LOL! yeh I forgot about that one,man that chick was wacked. Shame too could have been a nice piece of ass,imo

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

I've seen a bunch of episodes and the rate of success is like 10%. Everyone relapses.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

I liked the guy that was hooked on Oxycontin ... "We are about to relieve some serious pain, man"

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

Probably my favorite show ever and definitely my favorite serious one. I have seen every episode to date. One of my good friends growing up was on the show. I was watching Intervention one day and when it ended they showed the preview for next weeks show and what do you know Ryan Braswell was on the [censored] TV. I was like WTF and called all my friends back home and a couple were like yeah he was filmed for some documentary. It was really strange seeing him shooting up with my other friend (whos face was blurred) in the same bathroom I used to take dumps in when I stayed at his house and seeing his mom and sister's pain. I wasn't surprised though to find out he was strung up on oxy since he was the biggest druggy I ever knew. When we were all getting stoned in 7th grade he was already talking about coke. He introduced me to shrooms, acid, x, and all the other [censored]. Really smart dude incredible drummer, was in the band at Fresno State. Sad to see him on Intervention and [censored] up again when they say what happened at the end of the show.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

I like how most of the people's addictions are some serious [censored] like heroin or compulsive gambling or alcoholism or something like that and in the ONE episode I've seen in this show, it was a guy who was addicted to videogames. wtf.

That was my friend Ryan. Oxy is a serious drug. My 20 year old younger sisiter is a month in a half into a serious inpatient rehab. Isn't the first time she's been either, probably wont be the last. Was a beautiful girl all the guys dreamed of hooking up with, etc. etc. now she's a mess. At 18 she watched her best friend die right in front of her and I thought it would straighten her out but I think it made her worse. I want to help her so bad but there's really nothing I could do . She's tried moving out of state with my Aunt, failed. Living in a beautiful home with my Uncle in Hollywood, failed. She's burnt a lot of bridges along the way and this might be her last chance.

This is not a thread about Arcade Fire, imo.

The bulimic woman who kept her puke in ziploc bags was funny.

I tought I have seen them all but I must have missed this one. I wish they would have one with a really bad gambling problem. I know they had the child genius and the lady on the slot machines. They were ok. One a little more riveting and heartbreaking. New season starts like next Monday or so.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

This show is so awesome. I never miss it for anything, and if I'm going to be out I'll record it... This show = life lessons on the cheap, and it's always never about the drugs but the relationships that hurt and end up driving these people to such extreme addictions.

Re: \"Intervention\"
 

addicted to jerkin it

Seen this one on youtube and I hadn't seen it either. Looks pretty funny though. Title says it was banned by A&amp;E so maybe that's why. My guess is he's a 2+2er
