Yes, I’m sort of crossing a line in that I’m dissing other people’s form of entertainment just because I don’t like it. Sorry about that.

I don't have cable/satellite TV and the 22-minute DD episodes I've seen were on DVD from our county lending library. So, I'm not a fanatic about watching the show.

That said, from your posts on this thread about your 15 minutes of watching one episode, it's evident to me that you are still in the dark about what the show's appeal is and what it's actually about. Especially your line that indicated you'd rather DO what they do than just watch.

Might want to consider watching another episode or two before posting how much you don't like DD.

I listened to the whole show while I did some photo editing. To be blunt, the reason I posted on this thread is because it is not just that I didn’t like the show. It was physically painful for me to watch. Kinda like watching a stand up comedian bombing, and his show is 45 minutes. It hurts to watch it. Another example is bad karaoke (this speaks to the non-actors attempting to sound “real” when the events are scripted or contrived).

That is the kind of experience it was to me. And I use the pro-wrestling analogy because the fact that it is not real is why, as a 7th grader, I couldn’t get into it. It just looked corny. Which is how DD looked to me.

But some of my favorite forms of entertainment are no better, so to each his own. You can’t always explain why you like some things and don’t like others.
