TLC Show

Hi Everybody,

I am casting a show for TLC about people with unique collections or obsessions. I found this forum and wanted to get in touch with anybody who has the most amazing My Little Pony collection to see if they'd be interested in sharing their story on our show. Please shoot me an email if this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of. Hope to hear from some of you!

Thanks,
Sarah Trachtenberg

Members, please be cautious while the moderators look into this.

My Crazy Obsession: My Crazy Obsession: TLC

I would be hard pressed to believe that this show would portray any of us in a positive, non-freak-show light.

I agree with Must Be Jewel.

This person hasn't even told us the name of the show she is recruiting for. It is most likely "My Crazy Obsession".

It is not a show about respecting people and their hobbies. It is a show about "oh look at the freak over here that collects (insert hobby subject here)".

Agreeing with the above posts. Don't do it, guys. :/

I wrote to this person to ask for some details... mainly about the light the collector will be portrayed in. I also talked a little about the reasons many of us collect, and how (while some folk collect due to mental illness or addictive personality traits) that many of us do so because of the warm memories we have of our childhood collections. I'm not interested in appearing on the show, and am in Canada (so don't think they'd be interested in me anyway) which is why I figure I might be a good one to ask the questions. I'll definitely report back with whatever I hear.

But I suspect the collectors aren't shown in a positive light.

I had a feeling this show wasn't good, but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say anything.

So did this person make an Introduction?
I was looking but did not see one...

I'm sure they won't, as they're not joining the community. They're recruiting for a show. I'm sure they didn't read anything about the rules.

All the more reason to disregard contact

DO NOT WANT!!!

This sounds like a bad situation - and if this woman snares anyone into her trap, it's going to make all MLP collectors look bad. More importantly, the one person they choose could be taken advantage of. I've read about people who suffer deep emotional trauma from the way they're portrayed on shows like this.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!
