I liked season 1. Did they start season 2 by updating the progress of anyone from season 1? That guy from that crappy band was SO going back to the smack.

I think the only ones who stayed sober were the chick from Family Matters,

this chick has a hot little porn where she takes all of Lexington Steele. No small feat considering how small she is. I think he hit her epiglottis from the rear entry

I watched the whole first season but I don't know that I can invest the time into season 2

Dr Drew is the biggest phoney exploitative hack in the business. I once suggested this on an Adam Carrolla message board, and ended up getting banned.

I'm sure this was merely a "suggestion."

BigD I don't disagree with you about Dr. Drew, who knows... some other doctor could be whispering in his ear and telling him what to say lol. If he really wanted to cure these patients would he bring in Gary Busey as a spiritual advisor? Probably not!

For me its about the characters though not Dr. Drew.

Meh I'd rather see a Urkel/Laura/Myra 3-some. Myra was Urkel's girlfriend with the humongous jugs.

I used to listen to loveline a lot and i really respected dr drew from it
he talked to kids with a minimum of judgment and gave them the truth about the behavior's they were doing

THIS SHOW IS GOLD!!! Probably my new favorite reality show.

You know you have a lot of jacked up people when Tawny Kitaen seems like the most normal person there.

Rodney King throwing up outside the truck window might have been the funniest thing I have ever seen.

I'm not sure why Gary Busey is there as a spiritual advisor or whatever. Even though he is sober, he is the craziest person there. Obviously they brought him in for ratings, but if they are seriously trying to help the patients he is just going to be an annoyance.

Jeff Conway and the Guns and Roses drummer are going to provide some awesome moments. The previews for the rest of the season show Jeff kicking his wife in the stomach.

I'm excited for the rest of the season!!!!

Yes, Drew was the good cop in the scenerio. Yet, it wasn't just a Dr. Drew call in show, where people could call in and get judgment free advice. Here's what would happen, a caller would call, bare their soul, Carrolla would mock them and make fun of them and their issue, and then Drew would give his analysis. Carrolla's abuse was the price people had to pay to get Drew. And while that may make for compelling radio, subjecting the mentally ill to ridicule is not something I feel a responsible mental health should do. And that's what I think he's doing with celebrity rehab. He can claim all the good intentions he wants, but when you bring in Busey as a "spiritual advisor" all you're doing is making train wreck TV. I'm not saying that he doesnt' have some good intentions. Some Televangelists no doubt believe in the bullsht that they sell on tv. But it doesn't stop Rev. Billy bob from taking cash from aunt Sadie, and it doesn't stop Drew from using C-list celebrities illness to humiliate them on television, in order make himself wealthy. That's my issue with him, is that he's exploitative.

i'm not so sure about this show - although drug addiction has always been his specialty

as for corrolla mocking the kids - i think that it was pretty gentle and fun loving and corrolla also mocked himself and it made the kids comfortable enough to talk about their issues _ i think the radio show was a big positive

I agree. I thought the show great, especially for kids (H.S. - College) they definitely answered some questions I had when I was younger and inexperienced.

Well, I don't want my distain for Dr Drew leading for me to get banned in two different forums, so I'll just gracefully bow out of this Drew love fest.

I had to google this, and much to my surprise it was in the mouth/throat region and not the vaginal area.

plus and i know this will sound weird if you didn't listen to the show regularly - dude could tell about 90% of the time whether girls had been abused from just listening to their voices - it was pretty amazing

this is just a parlor trick. Always assume they have been abused. You'll be right about 50% of the time because of the type of call in question and the other half will say they have not to feel left out.

I didn't know this, so I did some research. She appeared on Oprah to discuss her "Biggest Mistake", where she discussed her 2 year porn career. She then went on to explain that she wished she had stayed in school while she was acting on Family Matters, because then she would have had some options once she got written off the show, and could have become an acting coach, or a doctor.

Yeah. I'm going to go ahead and guess neither was a realistic ambition.

Not to bring down this thread but you do know Myra died from cancer right? She passed away shortly after the show was stopped.

Thank you everyone who posted above. I would have never seen this show if it wasn't for you. (Gary Busey is awesome)

busey is in rehab too he just thinks he isnt

i dont think his problem is drugs its the brain injury from that motorcycle accident

Yes I knew that... I imbd'd her after I made my post about her because I wanted to see those knockers, then on there it said she was dead. I'm sure you did the same thing, unless you are an expert on Myra from Family Matters lol.

HollywoodAFD look for it on VH1 they re-run it with all their other reality shows.

yeah, I know, it's the best part... he thinks his a mentor.. he's going to be so incredibly creepy and invasive with the other patients, it's going to be great.

The only guy that even can compare to Busey is Ted Nugent. That reality show was awesome.

Also the Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston reality show was just as amazing.

That has to be terribly unfair to the other patients though. Here they are going through detox and stuff only to have to be annoyed to death by him lol

Not to bring down this thread but you do know Myra died from cancer right? She passed away shortly after the show was stopped.

I swear to christ, you could have an online Webcam that showed 24 hours of busey, and I would pay up to 50 bucks a month to subscribe to it.

Everytime he talks I just keep hoping that he'll snap out of it and start to act exactly like he acts in Point Break. I guess cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Actually he's brain damaged. Literally. He had a motorcycle accident that fractured his skull like 13 years ago, and hasn't been the same since.

So, a few months back, Dr Drew got in the news, for speculating on Tom Cruise's mental health, and childhood development. There was a message board thread about this on The Adam Carolla Show Message board. That show has many love line, and Dr. Drew fans, and I at the time suggested that Drew wasn't the father figure/messiah that people on the board thought he was, that he was more motivated by greed and money than anything else, and that he basically got rich by exploiting and mocking the mentally ill, the addicted, many of whom were children. This of course didn't go over too well with a bunch of love line fans, who's formative years had been so impacted by the show and drew. Their passion for Drew, their insistence that he was a good man who was just trying to help, made me soften my stance. Maybe he wasn't such a hack. Maybe he really was a selfless guy. Maybe loveline actually helped a lot of people and wasn't exploitative. And then, celebrity rehab came out. And I have only two words for anyone who tries to defend Dr Drew, and say what a good and selfless man he is: Gary Busey.







The fact that Gary Busey is on this show, just shows what an exploitative hack Drew truly is. Busey doesn't need rehab, he doesn't need drug treatment. The man is literally brain damaged, he's literally insane. He was in a motorcycle accident a few years back, that his skull was fractured in, and ever since has been profoundly mentally ill. The man is so insane, he thinks that he's a member of the staff of the rehab clinic. He's a literal schizophrenic. Season two of Celebrity Rehab is completely and utterly exploiting his mental illness. It is putting him on TV for ratings, so America can laugh at what a loon he is. I also predict, if his interaction with Tawny is any indication, that he proves to be a disruptive, creepy and invasive. I'm sure, no doubt, that boundary issues are going to be a huge concern with him and the other patients. In short, havng Busey on the show will not be conducive to a healthy recovery environment. The only, the absolutely only reason you have him in this clinic is purely as a ratings grab, because his insanity will make for good TV.




And that's the rub here. Dr Drew is a good entertainer. The format of Loveline makes compelling radio. The format of Celebrity rehab makes for entertaining television. But though he is a good entertainer, he is, at the very least, an unethical doctor. He is taking people, who are sick and mentally ill, and whom are despirate to get better, filming their personal, private and humiliatingly lowest points of their lives, paying them nothing for it, and profiting greatly from it. Yes, they are getting "high quality addiction treatment" for free, but believe me, their illnesses are providing VH1 and Drew with many times the cost of rehab in revenue for the show, revenue that they will see none of. The only reason the people are subjecting themselves to this humiliation, is they are so very desperate and ill. And, to top it all off, they have to live with a lunatic like Busey, who thinks he's there to help them. This show is a dressed up, self righteous version of bum fights. If Drew had once ounce of professional ethics, he should be ashamed of himself. But I'm sure he's just laughing all the way to his Beverly hills mansion. Never forget, this show is, at it's core, a freak show, and Dr Drew is the barker.

On December 4, 1988, Busey was severely injured in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet. His skull was fractured and doctors feared he suffered permanent brain damage.

just sayin'

Also, on the Celebrity Rehab 2's website, they list Rodney King's occupation as " Historical Figure" LMAO I wonder how long that brainstorming session took to come up with some sort of title for him

They could have gone with mason.

They could have gone with electrician.

Well, in true internet loser fashion, I registered my displeasure with Drew's ethics on the VH1 Celebrity rehab message board. I started a thread called "Dr Drew is a post modern side show barker" and here's the OP. My only hope is that he reads it, and has, for a few moments, a pang of guilt, before jumping into his swimming pool filled with gold coins.

And smart money says he was a lunatic throughout the filming of all of that.

I think it got deleted.



But normal on camera? That's not possible... is it?
