    It is a learning channel.....

    Learning how sensationalism sells ad space, generates ratings, and increases website traffic.

    TO quote Mr. Shaw, the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

    Is this program one of those "Reality" shows? If so, they are probably
    all actors. They are probably all following a script .

    No, they are real people. One of them is a football coach at Fordson High School; another is a policeman in Dearborn. They have real jobs. They are not actors. Some of them were on Anderson a couple of weeks ago.

    I left a comment about the dog on the TLC line - Karen left a link a page or two back. We've found the pieces interesting - until the bit with Wrigley on Sunday. Not sure I will watch anymore,

    Lowe's is taking a hit in this area - they pulled ads because of the rantings of a small, radical right evangelical group in Florida. This group complains, loudly, about Muslims and gays. Sort of like the church in Kansas

    An article from the Freep about the group that persuaded Lowes to stop the ads.

    We just watched the show for the first time. The woman decided that she would rather deal with her allergies so Wrigley could live out the rest of her life at home, than having to spend the rest of her life regretting that decision.

    It is good that they know they would keep Wrigley out of the carpeted areas, as that's where dander can accumulate and cause issues, and everyone seemed happy to have Wrigley back home.

    I think she realized it would cause a rift in their marriage right from the start, it sounded like they have lived together for a few years so it really made no sense, no doubt just something for the show.

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!

    I doubt that this woman "allowed" the dog to come back, out of the kindness of her heart. I'd suspect she was getting negative responses, and knowing how people can be, probably hate mail too.

    I think you are probably correct.
    I can tell a person who just doesn't like dogs or cats.
    Neither religion nor allergies were her real problem.

    I haven't seen the latest episode, but I hope that it's true and genuine and the dog can live our her life in peace and love (at least by him- but he has shown his weak character, and her- the lack of character)

    As for Dearborn, (being born and raised there) I don't see this show helping relations in any way. There have long been protests and 'parades' taking place (on every side) Dearborn has always been sort of a 'stewing cauldron' ready to boil over, and now this show is turning up the heat.
    Can't we all just live in peace?
