Agreed - I know "Interventions" are a tried and true technique for dealing with alcoholics and addicts - and thus there must be some value in it - but it feels a lot like the shaming thing - and it makes me very uncomfortable.

It makes me even more uncomfortable that now we're gonna splash that whole process - that is so raw and difficult for everyone involved all over millions of TV screens in the name of 'reality television' - gripping dramatic viewing - lets watch someone else's life be an even bigger wreck than our own so we can feel smug and safe in our own dysfunction....

Sorry - got carried away there. But I really really really HATE that sort of TV. I remember when A&E was about Arts and Entertainment .... ballet on Sunday mornings, and TLC was The Learning Channel and ran James Burke's Connections.... now it's all about watching the train wrecks...
