I Cant Believe They Put This Stuff On TV!

Five months ago, I purchased a new HDTV because my crappy one finally decided to stop working. I was browsing through my new fancy high definition stations and found A&Es show Intervention. I have been watching it every since.

I think the main reason I am in love with this reality show is that I am a reality show addict. If the show is about the drama of other people, I will watch it. Intervention is just that on a completely new level. This is not a show with some worthless women on it screaming at each other over a man.

It's much more sobering than that and the high definition image I have to watch the show makes it even better to follow. With my new HDTV, I feel like I am in the person's abode right there with them doing the intervention. Before I go any further, let me tell you a little about this show.

Intervention is about someone who has an addition. It can be alcohol dependency or drugs. Family members and friends meet with a counselor who helps them come up with a arrangement to confront their loved one about his or her disease.

In the mean time, the addict is part of an interview about his or her problem. Nevertheless, so he or she won't know about the coming intervention the individual is told he or she is in a documentary. One day, unknown to the addict, the family and friends meet up with the person.

They all write letters and then read them aloud to the person who is part of the intervention. The counselor asks the addict if he or she is interested in rehab, if the person says, "no" the family and friends try to convince their cherished one with tear jerking tales of how much the individual means to them.

As I said, I didn't discover this show until I bought my new HDTV. I am so gladsome I did because it truly is a great show. I can't say that I never cry when the family pours their heart out to the suffering loved one.

It's just so horrible how these people get wrapped up in drugs and alcohol and cannot control it. The show has taught me a lot. High definition programing is truly the future. I usually stick with the high definition channels now because they are so crisp and clear.

I cannot wait until February 17, 2009 when all programming will be in high definition. I may just have a problem myself... HDTV addiction.
