What do you think? Have you seen Intervention? Will you watch the new season?
Oh please please please, keep airing Intervention. It’s the best of the best and those interventionist like Ken, Jeff, & Candy are a comfort zone not only for the addicts but viewers like myself as well.

Hi Shaun, perhaps it’s who has contacted Intervention for help. Could be that “color” just hasn’t went there. I personally have watched quite a few of black interventions. As well as Mexican and Purto Rican. I know you’re an avid watcher like myself, and love how much the show has helped so many. But I just don’t think that it’s because of any kind of screening that prevents the different races from being aired. I think it’s because those families or those friends haven’t contacted the show.
Thanks
