I have a hard time watching any Michael Moore films because I'm thinking, "Oh good grief, please don't make this uncomfortable!" I could never watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, either, for the uncomfortable factor. I used to call it "A Lot Of Yelling." I just don't like shows, reality or not, that have really long, extended, uncomfortable periods.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220334396409452136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-79224800581933517002011-05-27T22:35:04.985+10:002011-05-27T22:35:04.985+10:00Well, you guys!

I totally remember that show, not that I could watch all of it. :) Now I wish I had so that I could remember Jimmy.<br /><br />And yes, sometimes my empathy (or whatever it is!) gets out of control. <br /><br />Cassie, I haven't really watched much of it actually, but yes it IS a bit like a church service.

It...I don't think this is "freak". It's really just very kind and caring - you just don't want anybody to make a total ass of themselves. And I feel the same way about those candid camera shows. Jimmy, actually, was an actor on this show called the Jamie Kennedy Project, and he had to trick people. It kind of freaked him out.gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952840544630534206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-44261244309933951802011-05-27T10:00:56.264+10:002011-05-27T10:00:56.264+10:00Amy I think it's because your empathy levels a...Amy I think it's because your empathy levels are way too high:) btw, yes some of the pranks etc make me uncomfortable but probably not oprah , definitely not oprah, she is quite experienced in what she does and as you pointed out lots of people have worked behind the scenes to make sure it goes smoothly, so nah, I wouldn't worry about her:)Joyfulmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888086629467112175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-92091327345068084782011-05-27T01:57:27.573+10:002011-05-27T01:57:27.573+10:00I just wanted to comment and say, that I feel EXAC...I just wanted to comment and say, that I feel EXACTLY the same way about watching those "candid camera" shows and other shows where people don't realize they are being tricked.

I don't really participate in April Fools Day for that reason. Is that strange?<br /><br />How is the Oprah finale? I haven't tuned in.
