Members Paul Raven Posted May 30, 2020 Members Share Posted May 30, 2020 Thanks for taking the time to dig up all this info. Never thought we would learn more about these shows. I can see why Road to Reality flopped. Watching a bunch of people in therapy day after day would be a big ask. Maybe if we saw their lives outside and then the therapy sessions were interspersed somehow, it would be more appealing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
