Simple concept really, just like the horrid Robin Leech envy-fest "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", except it focuses on the living habits, homes, activities etc. of down-and-out nobodys. Watching this show would make one feel a lot better about one's own circumstances, and the deadbeats featured
would surely be more interesting than the self-important airheads on Leech's program.

This sort of defeats the point, doesn't it? The act of looking at them changes them. |

I live in philly, I see this show everyday at 7-11, lets just its not really a pretty show to watch. |

I agree, BW. I occasionally catch a slightly less odious version of "Lifestyles": MTV's "Cribs". On a typical episode of "Cribs", the MTV camera follows a pop star around his or her fabulous home, right down to the closets, the bathrooms and the contents of the giant refrigerators. |

For months, I've had a perverse desire to host an episode of "Cribs" in my tiny studio apartment. I'd show the camera the doorknob-sized dent in the wall left by the previous tenant; my most recent ant invasion, and where I keep the heavy pesticides; the earthquake kit in the storage room. I'd block the closet view, though -- it's a mess, and everything I wear is black anyway. Nothing to see there. |

I don't think I'd have to go looking for sponsors. I'm sure the fine insect-killing chemists at Raid would be happy to host a spot or two ... |

<rant>Any rock group which manages to get a Brittish documentary done on them. They don't matter to anyone but themselves, yet for some bizarre reason we get to see them doing their "Trainspotting" routine thru Scotland or Wales or Ibiza. </rant> |

Waugs, either that or 'Cops'. |

Actually, I think you could find a very diverse, intelligent, entertaining, and (pleaze, for once!) unstereotypical bunch of people among the poor and nameless. As for the Springer show, each episode is a game Dr. Eric Berne referred to as "let's you and him fight". A sick and stupid game, in my opinion. As for intelligent programming on non-cable TV, probably violates some iron law of economics or another. |
