I watched the show just because of the Cabbage Patch episode and I was appauled by the way the show portrayed the Cabbage Patch collectors.
As much as I like the show, the one about the couple with the Cabbage Patch Dolls was enough to have me thinking. This is as about "enthusiastically sharing" as I get with my collection... I don't need people to look at my collection from my childhood and then hear that I've taken to buying the new G4's and shirts and coloring books and make drawings/pointillism pieces and say, "Hey, look at her.... she has no life." But I really do. It's not fair to those of us who legitimately enjoy collecting. It took me 3 years to be open to my fiance that I do collect ponies... his "have you always been this obsessed?" question was one I can deal with because I love him. Hearing it the world over on every website out there (and I do read up on the comments from the shows I watch) would not do me well.
It may seem nice at first, but you watch that Cabbage Patch Kid couple on youtube or TLC.com and think twice.
