Naja, there was no show this past Sunday. The last one I saw was the car beep (that was FUNNY!) episode.

New one this coming Sunday.

Well, one thing I learned..This show isn't near as fun as when he is really a mess..LOL (I hope that doesn't make me seem unfeeling. I do wish him the best in life, but this is a TV show and I have to take for granted much is staged for TV to make it interesting)

I'm glad this is almost over. It's a train wreck I can't turn away from!

Here's my question. You're married to someone who has multiple addiction problems. You know that one of them is to sex. He's told you that and has made it clear that if he could have sex with YOU more frequently (even if it wasn't as often as he'd really like), he wouldn't look elsewhare for it.

So what do you do? In this situation, the answer appears to be, you withhold sex and complain about it whenever possible and make jokes about how you hate having it. Then you expect to have him remain faithful to you.

WRONG ANSWER!

And the one question I want that "doctor" to ask Gretchen is, "I know you don't want to have sex. But do you want to want to have sex? That's really a key question. Because it's entirely possible that there's some hormonal issues involved or something else going on. Plus, she's made it very clear that she is uncomfortable with just about anything involving expressions of affection. She's so busy, busy, busy doing things all the time that it seems she does it to avoid being quiet with herself or with Danny. To me, the way she behaves screams of unresolved fear and other feelings associated with something that she may have experienced in her past.

It just seems that if Gretchen got physically and emotionally on an even keel with herself first, then she might be able to be more sexually expressive for Danny.

Not that that would solve all their problems, but it would probably help.

Danny has SO many issues, but at least he has been trying to work on them. It's just an awful lot to ask that he do all that work and then come back to such coldness.

And I can't believe she never wrote him a letter in rehab, even when he explicitly asked her to! Good grief.

I caught an interview with them last week on Soap Talk. What a difference between that interview and The View! Apparently Gretchen had tested to be Lisa Rinna's co-host before they got Ty Treadway. They again said that this was originally supposed to be about rock stars coming over for dinner parties but it went in another direction because of Danny's drinking. They also said that the children were supposed to be in it a lot more than they are, but because of the direction it took they had to be left out. Gretchen said she asked their friends' parents to keep them from watching the show so it hasn't been a problem for the kids so far.

I don't think this stuff is staged. I think he enjoys airing his dirty laundry for good TV, but I don't think they need to stage anything.

Max, I've been thinking about the same things regarding Gretchen's behavior. She seems to keep him dangling, leading him to believe he has a chance while behaving like she's repelled by him. However, it was quite a gesture for her to do that big move without his help to spare him that extra stress and give him more of a fresh start.

It sounded like they must've had another falling out a couple of months ago. He made a comment that she told him he could come home when he showed he could get his act together for 6 months, and that he had 4 months to go. He said he hasn't had a drink since that day in May, so he must've slipped up in some other way.

I think you have two people that want totally different things out of their relationship. I don't even know how much they actually love each other, really.

I was waiting for the doctor to ask "is it that you're just not interested in sex? (low libido) Or are you just not interested in having sex with Danny."

Danny appears to be a very intelligent man who is very good with words. He is so messed up, maybe because of his childhood, that I wonder if there is any hope at all that he and Grechen can ever be happy together. She says she loves him but maybe she loves the lifestyle she has with him as it appears he has never denied her anything material -- beautiful house, nice clothes, botox, etc. I can't imagine being married to a man with a healthy libido and refusing sex with him. My husband would not be pleasant to live with under those circumstances (to put it mildly). She has to give a little now that Danny has tried to change if she expects to keep the family together. If she can't forgive him then she should say so and let him move on as he will anyway the way things are going.

I think that though the show stresses Danny's issues (and he has many), Gretchen has a lot of her own issues as well. He cheated on her and that could be why she's holding back on being sexual with him. It seems that even when they do have sex, she's not into it at all. She did marry him the first night she met him.

Back to the comments on the doctor -- I think he has also had a nose job. I really have nothing against a little cosmetic surgery when it is needed but when it is so obvious at first glimpse that you have had one of everything, you went overboard. Men always seem to look odd when they have their eyes done. it just never looks natural. Women can get away with it easier.

Well, I had a blast throughout the season, but I have to say the finale was a boring let down.


All in all, I consider this show a hit :-) I had fun watching it.

Was that it? The lame father's day episode was the finale? They didn't really edit it like a finale. Is it over then?

Yep, that's it. TV.com shows the father's day show was the last one. I didn't realize it was the finale either until the narration at the end and it explained how 2 weeks after shooting ended for the show, Danny was fired from his radio show. It gave the feeling of "and that's a wrap, folks".

That Foo Fighters song was used to good effect at the end..gave me a weird sense that these two are far from being on firm ground.

Oh, thanks. My Tivo cut off the ending both times I recorded it, so I didn't see that part. Did they say anything else besides that he got fired? It was so strange how they never showed Jamie when they showed him at the studio.

I went and looked at the end again. I was mistaken. It said he lost his job 6 days later, and then it said how many days he had been sober once shooting ended. Those are the only 2 things I remember it saying. I think it was 50 something days he was sober.
