Surprised not to see a thread on this. I watched most of the premier, I was shocked to see "Bobby" from taxi in such godawful shape. He is hard to watch and even the others seem dumbstruck by what he's become. Great to see Brigitte and Joni reunite. Another Baldwin brother on tv, actually I turned it off when he got introduced, will finish tonight, he's so handsome, probably the most handsome brother, what eyes! Didn't know the porn star but she's a pain, she needs to leave "Stinky" alone. So we'll see how it goes, of course it's another ploy to get on tv, although these people definitely need help. Except for the Family Matters girl, so she smokes pot, I think she's reaching by going to rehab for that...

I started watching this, but fell asleep. Not from boredom, just from my old age. Luckily, I have it on my DVR and will watch it tonight since nothing else is on. I like seeing the real deal about these celebs with addictions, and this show doesn't seem like it holds anything back. It is incredibly sad to watch Jeff Conaway (Bobby from Taxi). Part of me feels like I shouldn't be seeing so much of their personal pain, but I am hoping for the best for all of them through this show.

Jeff Conaway looked awful! You couldn't understand him at all. It was really sad. I'm glad that Dr. Drew is going to limit his contact with his girlfriend.

Jeff Conaway was having issues when he was on Celebrity Fit Club.

Didn't see Jeff on Celebrity Fit Club, obviously he has a lot more problems than being out of shape. That girlfriend is awful, no help to him whatsoever, he's practically comatose, so sad. Yeah, was to late for me too, that's why I only watched half. It is something to see Brigitte looking so "regular" and not made up at all, Joni made a lot of funny comments, she's actually a hoot, loved it when she said "please take the strap on from her" and when she said "now we need translation" after Jeff spoke, broke the tension a bit...

I only saw a few minutes of it-I am sure they will rerun so I can see them all being introduced again.

It was sad to see how bad Jeff has gotten. If he doesn't kick it now, I expect he will die soon. I think Brigette looks better without hair and makeup done and Chyna looked good, too.

Wow,poor Jeff! I too feel like I shouldnt be watching him go thru such personal pain-but I am. I would think going to rehab to kick an addition would be hard enough -much less having a camera in your face at all times for entertainmnt value.Jeff needs to go into "real" rehab,not on camera.

I have always had a crush on Dr. Drew but the show is a bit sad to be happy to see him I have to say I am shocked that Jeff is still alive at this rate The porn star is a bit over the top

How many weeks will this show be running? I finally caught it last night. Like Stacey, I'm really surprised that Jeff Conaway is still alive at this point. He was pretty bad on Celebrity Fit Club and seems to be extremely worse now. I wonder how many of them will even stay in the program for the duration of the show. Maybe things will change, but I couldn't tell how truly committed any of them seemed to be during the first episode. It has to be a tough road. I know that one girl from AI was had trouble since the show was filmed. I do hope that some of them are able to gain control over their addictions and enjoy sobriety in the future.

I felt like of anyone on the first show the only one being honest and really in it to be in it was Brigitte. I was impressed with her last night and that is saying a lot! Go Dr. Drew!

I think Jeff needs more then rehab. He needs an assisted supervised living home for the rest of his life.

Brigite seems the most committed to the process, of course only time will tell.

I saw Brigitte interviewed on Chelsea Lately and she was still sober and seemed to fully embrace sobriety - a definite success story from the show -- hopefully there are more too!

I watched this late last night and wow. I felt so sorry for Jeff Conway(sp). I also feel bad for Jamie. And when they showed her mom dropping her off I was like didn't you know your 16yr old was smoking blunts?? It's a distinctive smell. All the Baldwins have the most gorgeous eyes! I don't know who the 2 blonds are or the mohawk guy is. But I question anyone trying to get clean and sober in front of a camera.

I just read in Entertainment Weekly that Jessica Sierra (from American Idol) "relapsed after filming and was arrested Dec.1 for disorderly intoxication." She pled not guilty.

Jessica has been sentenced to a one year in-house treatment in California. Dr. Drew was at the sentencing (just this last week) and the place where she's staying is going to have Dr. Drew involved with her treatment there as well (he agreed).

I caught the repeat yest. too. Jeff is in terrible shape. Wow, Daniel Baldwin looks so much better than he did on fit club. He came in sober & admitted that it's still a struggle for him to remain sober. He does have fantastic eyes. Brigete seems sincere in wanting to clean up her life. China doll is there but doesn't think she has a prob. - duh, why come on the stupid show if you don't think you need help. Don't know who the mohawk guy is. Don't remember the girl from family matters (was she the younger sister of laura that they wrote out after the 1st season or so?) Jessica Sierra was a little chunkier on AI - I wander if she started coke for wt control? That porn girl <57> I have no desire to hear about her detox from her dildos & strap ons. I bet she gets kicked out for her hornyness.

Good for her (I was responding to the post above about Jessica, not Mary Cary!). Girl needs rehab, not jail. My nephew was in a rehab a few years back for meth. He said one of the counselors told them, "Look around. Probably only one of you in this room will make it." He's doing really well and has been clean for about 10 years, so I think the rest of those guys probably went back to using. It's a tough, tough thing to kick an addiction. My family is full of it (drugs and alcohol), but fortunately I don't seem to have inherited that particular gene (by the grace of God).
