Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

postmanwhoalwaysringstwice As a genre Reality-TV has been one of the worst plagues to overtake popular culture, however VH-1's "Breaking Bonaduce" seems to have hit on a winning combination of televised entertainment and documented life. Taken at face value, it follows the "Patridge Family" star, Danny Bonaduce, deep into his middle-age. He's been married to his wife, Gretchen, for the past sixteen years, and is presently a foul-mouthed, abusive, alcoholic husband, who is resistant to change, and has an addictive personality whether it be for drugs, women, or himself. His train wreck life, which he often blames on his status as a child star, and his train wreck marriage, as shown on the show present Danny as the real-life heavily flawed embodiment of Tommy Gavin (ala FX's "Rescue Me"). Danny's life and personality seem to be so chaotic and so volatile that it's impossible to keep from watching the impending self-destruction. It's unreasonable to assume most of this show is a put-on since no one involved can act that well, which leads the audience to wonder why anyone would permit cameras in so close on their tarnished reality. Nonetheless the upsetting and the heartbreaking make for some solid entertainment, via a well-produced cautionary tale.

Raj9096 Danny is beyond sorry.He keeps making the same mistakes, and is no longer interesting to watch. At first I could feel for him, as an addict myself. My heart went out to him at the beginning, and somewhere along the line he went over the line. It is almost as if he is continuing this behavior to keep the show going, and at the same time is seriously risking his life, and the welfare of his family, especially his children. It is difficult even to have pity for the poor boy. I think he needs to watch this show, maybe then he might have a chance a saving this marriage. I can't understand how Gretchen stays with him, and I keep wondering how much is just for show, and how much is love. Danny, get a life - a new one that is! ...and don't get me started on Dr. Gary. What is with him and his face? His skin looks like it's stretched to the max. Besides that, looks don't mean a thing, yet he seems not to be particularly impartial. I think, he too, is keeping this going for his own monetary gain and often not in the best interests of either Gretchen or Danny. These people are few confused and each remind me of a dog chasing its tail. sad, very sad. C'mon pull yourselves together.

pikassocatering Is it just me or does anyone else think this Dr. isn't on his game? First of all Gretchen needs to take a lot of responsibility for her actions that drive Danny to his situations. Although no one person can be the excuse for what you do they can still play an active roll in your insanity. When she was amongst all the strippers while DRINKING she could have made a choice as a married woman and told her friends that she doesn't want to partake in this, that she's a married woman and will go out with them but not hang around for this. She had a responsibility to make a decision also! Instead she told her husband that she didn't arrange the party and had nothing to do with the SURPRISE. She's lying to him and then wonders why it drives him crazy. Second, what kind of woman doesn't want sex with the man of her dreams or someone she truly loves? If she really loves him still!!! She has issues this stupid Dr. hasn't even broached and if its plan to the layman's eye why isn't he addressing her issues and stop pushing on Danny so much. In life there are always actions and reactions and he isn't very good if he can't take off the blinders and see that. In my opinion he isn't worth anything on this show and they need someone who will look at both sides objectively. If she doesn't want sex with him get out of the marriage.......PERIOD! Intimacy is a huge part of all relationships and by denying him that she is setting up this chaotic behavior, perhaps she is so used to this behavior its become a way of life. This is the stuff Dr. Garry isn't getting!!!! IN SHORT, HE SUCKS

MovieAddict2016 "Breaking Bonaduce" is a new reality show, but not really. This is a new form of reality television (which I loathe to begin with) - it's public airing of dirty laundry. And as appalling as it is, it's also like watching a car crash - you can't take your eyes off it.Dante "Danny" Bonaduce is a troubled guy and has been for years. Watching this he strikes me as a selfish, annoying, sarcastic, addictive, abusive human being. When it's not coke, it's heroin. When it's not heroin, it's steroids. When it's not steroids, it's alcohol. When it's not alcohol, it's pills. He's always addicted to something (his latest thing is fitness and steroids). He's weird and disgusting.Earlier in the year he announced on his radio show that he had cheated on his wife and lost a lot of fans. His show was then canceled when people stopped listening.Creating this TV show is a way of drawing viewers again. It's very much all for controversy - on the commercials he's practically asking us to watch. "You have every right to watch that car crash," he says. Well, duh. Like, of course we do, it's on friggin' TV.The show is hard, gritty and visceral. I like it. It is appalling, yes. But it's also strangely fascinating.Worth catching if you're flipping channels some night with nothing else to watch.
