I like him.  My only complaint is that he seems to codle Gretchen a lot.

Danny is seriously damaged but Gretchen has her share of baggage.  I've
agreed with most of what he advises them.

I am so riveted to this show! I have been from the beginning but am
now so curious as to whether these two are still together. They appear
so doomed.

My favorite part of the show is the brutal honesty! If everyone was
like this in the world, it would be a much easier place to be in! It
eliminates the guessing and teaches people to "check themselves" more
often.

My least favorite part is Dr. Garry! What an unprofessional,
untrustworthy, slimy, shmuck! I'd slit my wrists too if he were my
therapist!

Aaaaaaaaaah, now I can sleep, LOL!

I don't think Dr. Garry is helping Gretchen, he is making Danny and
Gretchens problems worse!

As for Danny finally realizing Gretchens feelings... I agree! All the
obvious signs are there. She might be okay to just "burn daylight"
with Danny but that won't last. She needs help forgiving him or they
will go nowhere!

One time I can say for sure it was not real was when Danny and his
two friends were sitting in the bar and his friend asks, "So what do
you think Gretchen is doing right now?" So then Danny calls
Gretchen. First off, how many husbands care what his friends wife is
doing at a certain moment unless he's screwing her himself. What a
set up!

Subject: [Breaking_Bonaduce] Episode Guides for the show

Hi there, glad to find a Yahoo group about this show! It's been riveting, with it's ups and
downs. I put together some info on Dr. Corgiat, and wrote episode guides for all the shows
and thought you might find all the Danny content assembled there worth a look.
www.allthings-bonaduce.com.

Looking forward to the season finale this weekend. Anyone heard whether there will
definitely be a season 2, yet?

Cheers-
Monk

Kudos to the guy who told Gretchen that Danny would have to want to
get sober on his own and not as a condition to staying in the
relationship with her.  He did exacly what I would have done...and
Danny's reaction was normal for someone being told that this was on him.
It was painful to watch...I hope that it gets easier.

I don't quite understand why you are, getting upset
with me not answering emails, however since I had to
travel 600 miles to say good bye to my father and then
bury him, I think I had a good reason not to answer
any emails.  Sorry I couldn't drop everything for you
and get back with a message....

Housewives as well?  Cuz...that's just a show too...

Subject: [Breaking_Bonaduce] Danny and Gretchen's behavior...

I see this as a joint effort on their parts, and the people truly
suffering are the kids...you can't tell me that the older child hasn't
heard that her parents are messed up freads from her friends at
school, that she won't lose friends over this (I personally would not
let my child play at someone's home who had parents like this...or
even remotely like thism also I would not allow a child who had
parents like this over at my home, for fear of bringing drama/violence
into my own home).
I am a manditory reporter.  If I were to go into their home I would be
in a position to report the NEGLECT and ABUSE that the children suffer
due to Danny and Gretchen's behavior. 
What an incredibly toxic family.
And if I hear Danny or Gretchen say one more time that the other MADE
them behave that way...I am going to scream.

Subject: [Breaking_Bonaduce] I will probably get attacked on this one.....

I love the show!  I really like Danny and Gretchen but has anyone ever
noticed that Gretchen's voice resembles a transvestite's?  Nothing
against her I feel for her.

It is not ALWAYS about what a person gets from something....sometimes it's about giving!  Did you ever think about that?  Sometimes it just makes you feel good to do something nice.  Satisfied?  Or does that make me a codependent?  JEEZ!

YOu began your original post with "I know you guys are going to attack
me but" so as a person who is not "attacking" but merely asking a
valid question...are you saying that you do not want to answer the
question?
Just mildly curious as to what you as a human being would get from a
friendship with Danny...or with someone similar to him?

Obviously, he wouldn't be a good friend...he's a LUNATIC and self absorbed alcoholic.  My nature is one to try to be kind and help people whenever I can.  Would I be MARRIED to someone like that?  ABSOLUTELY NOT!  My husband has never done a drug in his life.....

 

I just happen to be a compasionate human being who feels badly for people in distress, whether it is self induced or not-he is suffering.

Based on what you said...that you want to be his FRIEND and that you
feel SORRY for him...do you believe that he would be a good friend to
you or that he NEEDS a friend to be good to him?
