Dr. Drew's Interview (Part II)
Snogrl | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:28 pm  Just thought I'd let everyone know it is now on the BB2000 website. I'm not computer savvy enough to put the link on(I have it bookmarked). I was surprised at how personal he was regarding specific HG's actions. |
Skw | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:35 pm  funny and I though it was tame and overall simply just served as a giant blohjob to Endemol and CBS oh well |
Deeya | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:39 pm  I have to agree with Snogrl here... I was surprised at how much he said about specific HGs and their actions. I think it would be interesting to see what all he said that didn't make the article. |

Skw | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 06:21 am  OK I don't know how I did this, but somehow I skipped to Interview part 1 before reading the current part 2 Drew was more than a little revealing. I think he overestimates the amount of abandonment and abuse a bit and his conclusions while obviously made with a history in the subject seem to be more reaching than his usual conservative judgement. He probably felt he had to be a little more dramatic to get something going. Still I understand where he's coming from. I wish he didn't make such broad generalizations about the state of gen Y without truly knowing the types of people who watches the show |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 06:38 am  I, too, was put off at the gross generalizing. Relating abandonment and abuse to interest in this show was both curious and irritating. He is being very diplomatic as one would expect. If allowed to speak freely we would hear something altogether different. He said as much in part 1 or another interview, I have forgotton. Walking on eggshells.....the whole lot of them. I expect more from BB2 |
Watchers | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 07:01 am  If you've ever seen or heard Dr. Drew on Loveline, you would see that he almost always uses abuse as an answer. If someone calls that is having trouble with their love life or is a bit kinky or whatever, he says they must have been abused as a kid. Sort of a one note song kind of guy. |
Whatever | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 07:07 am  Dr. Drew is actually very knowledgeable and insightful. Always GREAT stuff. Unlike some his critics, he does have a good sense of the state of America's youth, both as a result of his longtime radio show and the time he spends researching and studying it. It's easy to misunderstand some of the terminology he uses- for example, when he talks of abandonment or abuse, he is speaking using precise definitions of specific kinds of less-than-healthy behavior, not necessarily behavior as obvious as criminally leaving children "home alone" or physically beating, but rather abandoning in the sense of lacking deeply connected emotional interaction, or abuse in the sense of simply not providing enough support, or conversely providing too much support for young children and young people- all of which are very unhealthy and lead to negative consequences, as Dr. Drew describes. I recommend Loveline very highly. |
Memyselfi | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 07:15 am  Also, although I don't completely agree with him, he says childhood abuse is responsible for the antisocial postings on the internet, not for just having an interest in the show. What he said makes sense on the surface, but the people I dislike on the show, I dislike strongly and vocally. And I've never been abused. But I am antisocial. Wait, now I'm confused. God! I hate that Dr. Drew! |
