Why do people...

[Darth Biscuit]

...like to watch other people's misery?

I'm watching Criminal Minds re-runs on A&E and they keep showing previews for these shows like 'Intervention' and 'Hoarders.'

I have no desire to watch other people's problems...

[4Corners]

I can't watch Hoarders, it makes me feel uncomfortable.

[Darth Biscuit]

I have no desire to watch any of those kinds of shows... I get no pleasure out of seeing other people's problems... no matter how crazy they may be.

[Guest MaskedMilitant]

So do nothings can feel better about their mediocre existence. I don't know really, don't watch em either.

[Get_on_my_horse]

Can't watch. I don't care for things that bring me down.

Criminal minds is an f-d up show, about imaginary people's f-ed up problems.

How different is it, really?

[Darth Biscuit]

It's not real... that's how it's different...

[Chimera]

don't paint us all with a broad brush

/goes to watch casey anthony trial

[boo7382]

I watch people's problems in another way, with shows like The First 48. Sometimes there is a good outcome, sometimes there is not. The family always suffers no matter what.

Same with the other crime shows I watch.

Yeah, Ive been following the entire Caylee Anthony case since she first disappeared.

[Carolina Husker]

Intervention is one of my favorite shows on TV.
