Can everyone spell sociopath. Borderline personality disorder. Attachment disorder. The diseases of alcoholism and drug addiction. Absolutely no impulse control. When Danny was a little boy, he was chosen for his role due to his odd looks. He was nothing but a Commodity. He was a little darling. Suddenly he was nothing but an unattractive, out of work, child/teen. With every decadent thing the world could offer, at his fingertips. Frankly, he never had a chance. Now he is a big person, but not a grown up. His emotional growth stopped at, probably, 13 or 14. That's what happens when one spends 20 some years as an addict/alcoholic. Gretchen absolutely needs Alanon. For people like Danny, there is almost never a good outcome. Addicts/alcoholics often have good outcomes when they stop, but almost no one with the plethora of issues that Danny has, does. I was shocked when he said on one of his shows that he is (42?). His face and body say more like 62.

Ok so why does Gretchen even bother with Danny? He was drunk when they met and he had to marry her to have sex with her. Was she drunk too? And if she wasn't then what kind of deal was that? Was she that desperate? Ok and now they have 2 kids and he's still an ass and she's sticking with him literally for better or worse. But how much worse does it need to get before she realizes that he's not going to change? And of course now their whole life is on tv and how is that affecting the kids I wonder.

My thoughts exactly Mocha. What is she getting out of this that makes her want to stay and subject her children to this? Regardless of how much they say he is a good father, I just don't see how you can separate Danny the massively addictive lying personality from the good daddy personality. Pysch textbooks say that those two personalities will eventually clash and collide and those children will be affected.

Anger just oozes out of every pore on Danny's face. I cannot even imagine wanting to be with this man, if I loved him or not. To have to drag that man offstage in the middle of the act, to just more or less scold him, was ridiculous!

I was living in the Philadelphia area when Danny was dating Gretchen (they were living there too) - friends of mine hung out with them. He has a thing about redheads. At the time, everyone commented on how he was absolutely determined to be with her and completely crazy about her.

Alisons, Danny never dated Gretchen--they got married the night they met. (She wouldn't have sex with him otherwise.)

Yikes, I had been recording the show and finally got a chance to watch. I compared his look now to a recording of him made just 10 years ago. The guy seems to have aged 25 years in just 10. I am also finding it hard to believe any of it is for real. Or maybe I just really have never run across in my real life that truly has zero empathy. I have run across some with very little, but nothing like Danny's complete lack of it. Are people really that self centered out there? oh my. Some might think his drive home from Vegas contained some empathy for his wife, I didn't see it that way. I thought it was more of a way to sneak in some brownie points.

A girlfriend of mine (red head too might I add) has always claimed to have met Danny during her visit to NY about 8 years ago. She has always said that she met him at a bar there and he hit on her the entire night, buying her drinks and trying to get her into bed. She was only 19 at the time and thought he was way too old, but thought it was so fun to hang out with a "celebrity" She has a picture with him from the night, but only one and they are standing outside of the bar-his arms around her. We've always questioned her story, but after watching this show I am starting to lean more towards believing every minute of it! The sad thing is when I called her to talk with her about it the other day we realized he was actually married at the time. She said she was glad she did not do anything with him now-she would never forgive herself

Tonight, I saw this show for the first time. Here's what I want to know: Why is that, here they are filming this guy's life falling apart--actually his whole family is falling apart--yet they have created this show that has the look and feel of a freaking music video? Why couldn't they produce it documentary-style and give these people and their problems the respect they deserve?

Can you say "anger management"? Can you say "control freak"? This woman is going to end up dead. I watched a part of this show and it made me sick the way he acted. So childish. Typical controlling behavior. I can do as I want, but you will abide by my rules. I dated a guy like that in high school. He would just fly off the handle at the drop of a hat. What a lunatic. If anything, this show will make people lose respect for Mr. Bonaduce, and not that I like her much either, but he needs to put a call into Dr. Laura.

His wife seems like the most pleasant person on earth, but is anyone else finding it hard to feel bad for her? She seems to be the biggest "enabler" I have ever seen.

Christii, I too found it scary, very unsettling, and hard to watch because I do fear for Gretchen's life and what he would/could do in a drunken 'roid rage. Hopefully watching this will open her eyes and she will get the heck out of dodge. Thank goodness for loving, patient, and trusting husbands.

He needs to be on some serious medication cause he's a danger to himself and everyone around him. And why does the shrink just sit there?

Holy crap. I was looking this morning to see what Tivo grabbed for me over the weekend. Could a reality show ever reach this much of a low? This weekend on the show, Danny slashed his own wrists when Gretch said she wanted a divorce. Yes, I will be tuning in next week to find out about his psych ward experience. I must be nuts, too.

Wow, this is like watching a trainwreck. One question though - why is this being filmed and shown on tv?. Don't they realize that this is all now preserved for eternity and their kids might see this someday, never mind the fact that all of America has seen their dirty laundry. It's hard to watch. This guy needs some serious medical help.

I turned it on when they were all out in the street and Danny was getting all excited. I thought he was going to explode. Maybe he needs his TV time.
