Did Anyone Watch The DS Story on E? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did anyone see it on Thursday and what did you think of it?

I enjoyed watching it more than I did the first time although a lot of it was really sad, especially the Dana bits.

I thought they could have focused more on the show other than just the cast troubles.

I didn't watch it on Thurs, but I have seen it before. I agree with you that they could've focused more on the show, but it seems that most people prob. remember more about the cast troubles than they do the actual show. You would think that means they could've profiled the show more since everybody knows what happens to the cast. The cast just had more dirt on them than the show.

You're right, and the thing I've noticed about E is that all their True Hollywood Stories all seem to be about bad things or unlucky people.

It doesn't seem like they would do a story about a wonderful person who led a great life, they only seem interested in doing stoires about scandal to entertain which in a way is exploiting people.

That's the thing that irritates me about some of these behind the scenes shows. They dwell so much on the negative and show very little on the positive. It seems like they do center on the bad things and the unlucky people.

Let's say so and so celeb is 25 years old now. E spends 20 minutes talking about her childhood and teen years and how she lands her major part. It spends 35 minutes talking about her drug problems and alcohol problems etc. Then they spend 5 minutes on a wrap up. So and so went to rehab and has been clean and sober for the past year or so and so died on June 11.
