Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA Most certainly he's Executive Producer. And his wife. It's still entertaining, though.

Originally Posted By cstephens It's a show I'd be watching if I had cable, and I'd consider buying/renting it if it was put out on DVD. I'd been following most of the events because I used to listen to his radio show before he got fired, and it was pretty obvious that he has a self-destructive streak. I don't know that it's a matter of them wanting certain things to be seen - it's just that Danny has pretty much spent his entire life in the spotlight, and he thrives on it and doesn't know how to live it differently. It has train wreck quality, from what I can tell, and surely, much more happened that they had bargained for or planned for. I've also enjoyed listening to the various interviews that Danny and Gretchen or Gretchen separately have been given. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the lawsuit that Danny filed. /cs

Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Oh yeah, I'm watching it. It's kind of annoying to watching someone with children act so much like a child himself.

It just seems like something a little kid would do to manipulate his parents. That way, it's never his fault. I also think the shrink/therapist is really strange looking, like maybe he's had lots of plastic surgery. (Sorry, I know that's irrelevant.) Anyway, it's still a fun show to watch.
Originally Posted By Ursula Danny was at my studio recently. I happened to be near the front desk and I assure you he seemed not very happy that I didn't "recognize" him as I walked by. I mean, he's a Partridge and all and I'm just the right age, but he's not Keith.

Originally Posted By m2 LOL! I'm with you Ursula, ahhhhh, Keith. I haven't started setting the DVR to watch it yet but I have caught about every show so far. It really is like watching a train wreck. I want to peek at it out of one eye on my way by. He was on The View recently and those ladies really gave him and his wife a hard time about this show. They pretty much shut him down and made his wife do all the talking. Bottom line, they both keep saying they are trying to teach their kids what not to do and how not to act. What a way to learn. I hate to admit that My Fair Brady has caught my attention too. Seems like I catch all the reruns while I'm on the treadmill, sure makes the time go by fast.

I don't catch their show all the time, but I didn't really hear them say much when Danny was fired (though she's apparently been referred to by some people as the Black Widow) or when the news about the lawsuit broke. Jaime has said that she and Frank have kinda made up, but she and Frosty would never work together again. Don't know how much Heidi would have had to deal with since she was the traffic girl back then. /cs

Originally Posted By FaMulan I've caught several episodes of it. Interesting and actually refreshing that though Bonaduce is one of the producers it doesn't seem overly sanitized. I kinda like the fact that they are showing what a true self-destruction is like. Maybe some of the viewers will recongize some of their actions on the screen and have a bit of a wake-up call. I too, listen to Star 98.7 (well only half-way because I can't have it too loud at the office) and I was surprised when he was put into rehab again but not surprised when he was fired from the station.
Originally Posted By Santa Monica <<I'm engaged, I'm not engaged, I'm pregnant, I'm not pregnant... Still a train wreck, but I still enjoy listening.>> LOL. Yeah I think this pregnancy will finally force her to make her relationship with the snowboarder work. If you've read her blog, the reason they got disengaged was because he didn't like it in LA and wanted to move back to Colorado, but she can't move away yet. Then she learned of old girlfriends blah blah blah. Did you hear that stuff with Jose Canseco? I was cracking up the entire time. Oh... sorry Jim. I don't watch Breaking Bonaduce because I've already heard all his stories.
Originally Posted By MissCandice I lunge for the remote when even the commercial comes on. I have no interest watching this guy self implode. How is this going to end happy? And how is this helping his kids, exactly????

I don't know about that. I know they're trying, but she's said they're not getting married just because of the baby. > If you've read her blog, the reason they got disengaged was because he didn't like it in LA and wanted to move back to Colorado, but she can't move away yet. Yeah, I read that, but part of the problem is that she had told him she'd eventually move back to Colorado, but now she's changed her mind and wants to stay in L.A. I guess we'll see if having a baby domesticates her. > Did you hear that stuff with Jose Canseco? I was cracking up the entire time. Yeah, that stuff was hysterical. I can't believe he called in at all, much less engaged in that discussion. She was right - he has fallen so far. /cs

Doesn't make sense to me... I find myself watching. I equate it to a train wreck you don't want to watch but can't turn away. I can't decide, I kinda think it's a lot of acting. Maybe not, but are people really wanting to share all this personal stuff with the world?
