PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
For very obvious reasons, DH & I have been awaiting this one.
Did anyone watch?
If part of the purpose is to garner awareness of Parkinson's Disease, I hope they figure out a way to let the public know that PD affects those who have it in many different ways. For example, DH's 'walk' doesn't look like MJF. MJF walked more bow-legged or something. Also, he didn't have any episodes of "freezing" which if his meds keep that away, good for him!
Also DH doesn't move his head all around like MJF was doing. That looked really strange! That may be part of his normal expressive movement (like some people use their hands to talk?) and it is magnified by the PD. The lack of blinking (if you noticed that) is shared by almost every PD patient.
The story line was odd - or should I say the lack of a story line. But maybe as the show progresses, it will make more sense. I think they were establishing the "set" so to speak.
We'll continue to watch; if only to understand more ourselves.
And, .... If any of you have a few $$ and need to make a charitable contribution? MJF or The National Parkinson's Disease Foundation
