New reality show "Going Cold Turkey"

Did anyone see this today?
It's like Big Brother EXTREME!1 or something. Take five heroin addicts, lock them in a house and watch what happens as the hours and days go by without a fix. You have to hand it to Channel 4 for not being afraid to scrape the bottom of that barrel for all it's worth.
Should get interesting around day 3 or so.

Damn, I saw the advert for it, really wanted to see it, but crashed pretty early last night.
What time was it on?
And yeah, don't act too suprised about Channel 4. It's basically the same principle as Big Brother, but with more heroin.

Yup, it looks pretty hardcore. These are people who have been junkies for like 8 years.
This is coming from the same channel that brought us live autopsys, which was actually really good. They had this dude's bowels out on a tray and for some reason it ruptured and sent fecal matter spraying out in quite an impressive fountain. That was the single greatest thing I have seen on TV to date.

This proves how sick we are. Can there be anything worth while on TV? C'mon now, more people are watching American Idol than the Olympics. Thats pathetic. The Olympics has history, honors involved. American Idol is based on script and terrible singing.
I don't mean to turn the thread around, but I can't believe there's people out there that would want to watch heroin addicts go through withdrawal.

I'd rather watch people struggle with genuine life-long emotional and physical issues than watch a bunch of machine-like athletes pointlessly skate or ski, summarising a lifelong career into a single, insignificant event and basing results on hundredths of a second.

well that ought to be a fucked up show. Withdrawls suck ass, so I can bet there's going to be shinanigans. Do they lock them in the house for 3 days or something? I know the one time I did have withdrawls, it was from running out of a long oxycontin 'script I had after becoming road pizza, and I can understand why people will freak out and do just about anything to make that shitty feeling go away. It's like having the flu x10, with lots of 
When is this on?
