Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-03-05, 08:22 PM (EST) "Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." I'm a third of the way through it now. I'm not sure what to think just yet. T.J. isn't helping.   Top

Interestingly, not every adoption advocate person is against the show: http://www.newsday.com/news/opinion/ny-b4097276dec27,0,7169712.story?coll=ny-viewpoints-headlines   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-03-05, 09:51 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." LAST EDITED ON 01-03-05 AT 09:53 PM (EST) The position I'm in -- and it's going to be reflected in the summary, much to the downfall of the writng -- is that I came in looking for the absolute bottom of the barrel, and wound up at the top of the trench, blinking at the sun. I was not expecting the show to have an actual emotional impact. I didn't think TJ was going to come off as sympathetically as she did. And while the game show idea still stinks on ice, and the disco scene was cringeworthy, and we weren't even given that much to go on, period -- -- oh, this hurts -- -- I'm gonna have a hard time bashing the thing all the way through. Feh.   Top

volsfan 19846 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-03-05, 09:49 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." I watched about 30 minutes of it but couldn't watch any more. Did it have a happy ending?   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-03-05, 09:52 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." They're all gonna have happy endings, Vols. The producers made it pretty clear that no matter who the daughter picks, she meets her real father at the end. The only question is whether the searcher -- I can't say 'contestant' here -- gets the 100K as well.   Top

volsfan 19846 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-04-05, 08:59 AM (EST) 10. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." So, this is going to be a series? I thought it was a one time event as advertised. I may have to watch. Does it come on next week?   Top

SurvivorBlows 15230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-04-05, 09:56 AM (EST) 12. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." Fox admits to having already filmed at least 6 episodes, I think they were just gunshy about committing to airing any more until they saw what the public reaction and ratings were.   Top

Puffy 6702 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-04-05, 00:19 AM (EST) 8. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." It was Charlie, real name Robert. He's married and has 3 daughters. They all came out to greet TJ. Then the real mom came out! More from Estee with her summary later... An IceCat creation   Top

foonermints 14531 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-03-05, 11:00 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." As I am watching it right now, the word "Fumongous" comes to mind. Handmade by the incredibly talented Syren but maybe you can get to like it. *sniff?*   Top

SurvivorBlows 15230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-03-05, 11:11 PM (EST) 7. "In HDTV" Oh, I also forgot to note that it's in HDTV, so that alone was a point in its favor. Kinda sad that so far Fox has been the only network to be able to deliver a reality show in HDTV -- and that the three of them have been The Casino, Rebel Billionaire, and now this thing. I'm hoping The Contender will be in HDTV, but doubting it. Hopefully Fox's little HDTV run means that American Idol will be in HDTV... if it is, I might actually have to watch an episode for the first time ever.   Top

FSUGUY 447 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 01-04-05, 09:38 AM (EST) 11. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." what's so wrong with this show? girl gets teased for a few days, meets her dad, can get $100K. TJ even met her real mom (was that stevie nicks?). Fox did what many spend alot of money doing on their own with no luck.... Not the greatest show...but... my better-half liked it and she NEVER likes reality TV....(scratching head)   Top

yensid 786 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 01-04-05, 10:09 AM (EST) 13. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." Adoption is a topic very dear to my heart. Both of my children were adopted internationally. As for the show, I think it sucks. While adults all understand the idea behind this, the adopted children that might see the show or even catch a commercial don't understand it. No matter the circumstances involving the adoption, the children always wonder about their birth parents. My oldest daughter is 6 (7 on Sunday) and has been stuggling with understanding why she isn't with her birth parents and would love to find them. Fortunatley, I think I was able to keep her from seeing any ads about the show, we are going thru adoption questions enough without having to explain a 'game show' type, win a $100,000 if you guess correctly show. As another thing, adoptive parents are 'real' parents too, please use terms like bio-parents or birth parents. Thanks,   Top

"Prelim ratings" To sum it up, I'd be surprised if the rest of the episodes ever air... WHO'S YOUR DADDY averaged a 2.3/6 among Adults 18-49, a 2.9/8 in Women 18-34, and 6.3 Million Total Viewers   Top

seahorse 14337 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-04-05, 01:27 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Prelim ratings" This tells it all. For a show this hyped the ratings are terrible. Its days are numbered. Handcrafted by RollDdice   Top

Pretty_Kitty 536 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 01-04-05, 12:54 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." I hated it but being adopted myself I couldnt stop watching I just dont understand why this TJ person had to go on a reality show to find her birth parents and why her dad and not her mom? Will they show us what happens when the honeymoon is over? I doubt it They may feel great right now but I doubt it will last my birth mother is a raging drunk who despises my adoptive parents and blames my adoption on her drinking for 30 years TJ didn't look too happy to meet her sisters I sensed some resentment there I wont watch the rest I have finally reached my "they've gone to far" limit   Top

motormouth 4507 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 01-05-05, 02:50 AM (EST) 17. "RE: Who's your daddy? premiere discussion." I find it disturbing that they feel the need to throw money at the woman and make it so game showey. I don't think she cared about the money at all and it seemed like a forced issue. But then again, why would she go on national TV to reunite with a parent? I don't know, it just rubbed me wrong for some reason. Also, why did she thank each "daddy" as they were leaving? What did they do that deserved a thank you? *Courtesy of IceCat*   Top
