Too many fans seem to be blown away

Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent, a Must See

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I am an alcoholic, I am a lonely divorced father of two beautiful children. My xwife does not have custody because she is a twice convicted arsonist and heroin addict. I can pick them can't I. This show produced a tremendous amount of emotion. "Everything collapses because I'm a freak show", I am sure we all have felt like that once. But until you have to explain to your daughter why mommy can't live with us, I have a my own opinion of what it is like. This show upset me so much, I called my x on her cell and her home,nothing, I went out go Chinese . Chinese always makes me feel better. At least I get to come visit you, the daughter asks. My daughter is not allowed to visit me because I dropped her off at school one day and disappeared for two days. I screwed up my life and I am alone and I suffer every day. I feel really bad for Danny, and I feel really bad for me.

Maybe it's because Danny got me through many a morning drive in hideous rush-hour traffic (STAR 98.7), but I feel for this guy. I feel even more for his family. This is a guy who's been through some serious pain in his life. He's always been very open and honest about his life on his radio program, but that's what made him so real and unpretentious. Most of us can't identify with that, and yet we stand to make segment's on it. I keep watching, rooting that he will pull through.It's sad that people who don't really have a clue (Yea buddy, his name isn't Dante "Danny" Bonaduce. Dante is is son.) are commenting.I only wish he and his family the best.

This is a family in pain, obviously. And to allow them, or probably encourage them to display their pain on TV is harmful to their children in my opinion. I feel a lot of sympathy for what they are going through, but they have these two small kids who are being mentally raked over the coals by having their families trauma displayed on public TV. Why would they want to do this to them? I can just picture their daughter at school trying to explain to her friends why her Daddy slit his wrists. It's just evil. I mean, come on. Someone has to be the voice of reason. How is it ethical to allow these parents to do this? I know that the Bonadices are the exec producers, and it was probably all their idea, but still. WHy would they LET them do this?

First off, I don't usually watch reality TV shows. However, I was always intrigued by Danny. As an adult, he always came across as funny and glib, and not at all whiny like a lot of the former child stars you see who blame their parents and the industry for their drug & alcohol addictions and deviant behavior.How real is the show though? Obviously, Danny has a lot of inner demons and addictions to work out. I get the feeling though that a lot of the show is fake, due to the cameras following him around, and the pressure to make his life seem more chaotic than it might really be. Let's face it. If he worked out his problems in 3-4 therapy sessions, the show would be boring. People watch the show to see the "train wreck." Previews already show him shooting himself up with steroids, and going into a "roid" rage in the streets.Danny is a professional actor. The more crazy and dramatic he acts, the more people will be intrigued to watch his show week after week. I don't deny that we partially see the real Danny, but who knows if he ups the ante on the dramatics to hook in the viewers.I would be interested to hear what other think about BREAKING BONADUCE.JG
