Nice. He neglects to mention that a show about ordinary addicts wouldn't draw even a tiny fraction of the audience, the buzz, or the advertising dollars. That's why there was never a "Lifestyles of the Middle Class and Anonymous," or an "MTV Cribs" about the guy who works at the library.
Non-public TV is about making money. Period. Compassion is a joke; it's sensational so you'll watch, talk about the show, and buy their sh*t.
No offense.....but since we're all sharing opinions here, those shows offend the hell out of me.
