WOW. This is an incredible documentary. It was really sad to see actually what he was like when he was at his lowest points.
It is on again this Wednesday night

I think everybody knew he was on pretty much every drug known to man, its just that nobody did anything to help him.

I thought it was outstanding. I really felt for him when he was drugged out talking about his mom. He really impressed me on Dancing with the Stars they way he carried himself. Hopefully everything turns out good for him. Seems like a good hearted guy that got on a horrible path.

It was crazy in the part where he was taking nitrous hits and he was having a conversation with himself. He was definately possessed by a demon. Glad to see he's turning his life around

Did it talk about how Johnny Knoxville whored those guys out in the start and they received nothing for it?

It was not Knoxville. It was Jeff Tremain. They all ended up getting paid. They all signed contracts and were not sure if the show worked. Once it did they all renegotiated and got paid. Oh and for the record Johnny Knoxville helped saved Steve O's life.

On the road...
For the first time in a long time I was impressed with the programming on MTV. For some reason I have always been intrigued with drug documentaries, and this is the best I have seen in a long time. It was crazy to see how f-ed up he got on those nitrous hits. I am happy for him that he has been doing really well. He is still pretty crazy without that crap.

I would have hated to be his neighbor with all the **** he was doing.

I was just reading about him on wikipedia. Was anyone aware (or did they mention it in the documentary) that he went to Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College? apparently after graduating, he was not selected to join the circus.

This documentary completely shocked me when I watched it. The effects of some drugs on people is unbelievable.

It was a great documentary, and It's great to see him overcome all that and look healthy and good for how low he was in life.

I've seen other glimpses into how messed up he was at his worst. What blows me away is how a substance can just dominate a person totally, and other people can try something and just walk away from it, no worse for the wear. Just points out how much variety exists in human nature. Good to see that he's in control of his life at this point.

What amazed me is how he was at his worst when his 'family' group was broken up or separated, even for a short amount of time. It sucks that drugs were his only replacement for when his friends, who had been his family, were not present.

I watched this also. We all knew how crazy he was but I didnt know he was that bad. Hopefully he can stay sober.
