Intervention on A&E "JOSH"

 For those that have an interest in the Addiction aspect of Weight gain, the A&E show Intervention is for the first time in my memory presenting a show about the intervention of a super obese man. This show is really an excellent look into the hard core life of drug and alchohol abuse (among others) and I am looking forward to see how they present this subject.  Below is a link to the show which will be presented next week starting Monday 1/23/08 @ 9:00 PM http://www.aetv.com/intervention/int_episode_guide.jsp Next, a talented singer and the owner of his own karaoke business, 22-year-old Josh is addicted to food and weighs 550 lbs. Josh's father, Rex, has the same weight problem--at 317 lbs., he's a diabetic who's had six strokes. Now, Rex watches helplessly as Josh follows in his footsteps toward an early death. Josh's mother and two brothers hope that an intervention will be a wake-up call for the whole family to choose health.

I have seen the show for one of the drug addicts they did.  It was crude and real and to the point - and heart wrenching.  I truly enjoyed it - but don't get to watch a lot of TV and never saw the show again. Thank you for this post, I will either watch it myself or have my parents DVR it for me (the satellite version of TIVO which I don't have.....) Pam
