Operation Repo
Why do I enjoy this show so much? Matt is kind of a creep half the time, but it's so fun to watch!

Anyone else watch this?

Several years ago there was a TV show called Repo Men, I used to watch it all the time.

It's about a repo firm that is made up of mostly family members. A high IQ is not required. There are some characters on this show, I must admit. One of my favorites was when they repo'd the chicken's car. Matt's false modesty cracks me up!

I don't recall the "chicken's car", sounds hilarious though.

I find this show really exciting, i've already seen a few episodes where people have pulled guns on them. It's always exciting to see the scuffles, especially when somebody lays a hand on Lindah then Lu (her father, also the boss of the repo firm) goes absolutely nuts and the person, and with Luis being well over 300 lbs, it must be a freaking scary thing to go through for the other guy, .

Sonia, she is scary. Her and Froy used to be married to each other.

I wonder if this will be a reality TV show that will actually last longer than one or two seasons. I doubt it.

EDIT*
From Wiki:
Quote:
Operation Repo is an American television program where a fictional repossession team from the San Fernando Valley in California are filmed recreating the repossession of vehicles for finance companies.[1] Although as a channel, truTV is described as presenting "real-life stories told from an exciting and dramatic first-person perspective"[2], Operation Repo consists of scripted re-enactments where the team is often confronted by actors portraying debtors and police officers in the repossessions.
It's not just Wiki, Google it.

Haha, oh my goodness i'm stupid. Even at the beginning of the show they say it's re-enacted, but I honestly thought that didn't apply to it somehow because that's how fooled I was,
I really didn't think it was re-enactment thing, i'm actually pretty surprised and impressed by the Characters, I couldn't even tell they were acting. It's disappointing though, I don't know if i'll even watch it again, takes away from the excitement.
And now that I think about it, it does seem funny how crazy so many of those people freak out and get into fights, haha.
