I wanted to watch but was out of town and forgot it was on so I watched a
DODGER game. I talked to my daughter and she saw it, she enjoyed it but did say something about it being too scripted in parts. I read about it in USA TODAY and was impressed with "what I read"...you never know what is true in the newspapers these days do ya?
I don't want to step on anyones toes but I will say, being a
LAKER fan and following Shaq's days with them, that he does A LOT of great things with and for kids and adults too that was not broadcast to the media. Stories are still coming out from the Los Angeles area on things he did for people and he has been gone a few years now.
Sure those kids may be made fun of, probably will be, but weren't they already? They may become little stars just by being with Shaq too. And just what if they loose some major weight...how cool would that be....and what if other kids see the show and follow their lead...what if?
I think it is worth the risk for most of them ....didn't look like they had much of a future from what I read and heard about the show...but you just can't believe everything that's for sure.
We know a few "reality" TV actors...these shows are very scripted and edited....
Prayers for the children and their futures!
