INTERVENTION by Fussbett 03/14/2005, 7:38am PST
Sundays on A&E. They follow addicts around with a camera, "making a documentary" or whatever, and the climax of each episode is an intervention which are sometimes just sad, but more often satisfy my anti-Zseni-like need for confrontation. So you get to see people at the absolute bottom of their lives, and then you see them argue with their family and friends, who threaten to cut all ties and/or call the police if the addict doesn't check into a program that night. C'mon. That's good TV. Just in case you're still bored, they give you two addicts per episode (because no one cares about the shop-aholic agoraphobe, even if she was a nurse on ER -- she was just kinda sad and hot).

The gambler, Gabe, was crazy great. In debt $200,000, he was slowly grinding his family into dust, guilting them into a second mortgage. He's 32, and the high pitch whine he launches into a any time wouldn't be tolerated from an 8-year-old. Then we learn of his childhood; a regular Doogie Howser who started college at 10 and was teaching biochemistry courses by 14... IN RAP. He was on the local news a lot for his rapping lectures, and the taste of fame was sweet like honey -- BUT HE DIDN'T SEE THE BEE THAT LURKED WITHIN (the honey). The bee is my metaphor for his film career that didn't take off.

Next week is the girl who cuts herself! I might have to avert my eyes from that one.
