the show is COMPLETELY staged.I work in the Industry and had the pleasure to take my Brother, Niece and Nephew to the store because they like the show. My Brother wanted a picture with the family and got it. Then a Production Assistant asked if the would like to be on the Show. My Brother finally relented and the Production Assistant came up with a story that my Brother had to Pawn his camera to get gas money for their ride back to Georgia. and as the price was LOW...he is supposed to get mad and rant and rave until a bouncer comes over and physically removes him. My Niece and Nephew then were to start screaming, "don't hurt our Daddy". they decided against the children screaming and crying because they did not want to project a image of treating kids badly. he was outfitted with a mic and on they went to film the scene. Each and every episode is posed and scripted. NO reality there!!!
