Operacion Repo Interview

I’m a big fan of this TV show and I recently had the opportunity to email the producer and creator, Lou Pizarro, a few questions. As you can see, he’s a real good sport. Not to mention, a very protective brother. I disagree with him about Lauren Sanchez and was disappointed that he didn’t green-light drug-testing for NFL head coaches, but I appreciate the time he took out to answer my questions. Someone probably got to keep their car for an extra fifteen minutes. Here goes:
When you initially emailed me and asked me to contact you with any questions, I have to admit, I was a little worried. Since I had written some less than flattering things about Sonia on my page, I was thinking that I would call you guys up, Vanessa would trace the call and Sonia and Matt would arrive at my house, tow my Prelude and bitch-slap me in front of the neighbors. Was that the original the plan?
First and foremost to let you know the comments about my sister did not bother her one bit, for she just shrugs it off and laughs. And as far as Sonia and Matt showing up at your doorstep, it would be to say thanks for at least taking the time to watch the show, whether your opinions are good or bad..hehehe..so relax and don’t worry.
How’s your head? I saw you take that beer bottle “to the dome.”
My head is fine, I have had worse.
When you went to the hospital to get the stitches (I assume down the block on Reseda and Roscoe) did any doctors recognize you and put you in front of other people in the emergency room?
Actually I was treated like the all the normal people, no more important than the next sick individual. Some people did recognize me and that is flattering and appreciated enough.
You guys have balls. Ever had guns or knives pulled on you? What about karate? Anybody try and drop some martial arts while their car was being towed?
Yes, the situation gets handled accordingly.
How long have you been in this type of business?
Over 8 years.
Did you come up with the idea for the show? If not, who did? And was it directly inspired by the “Repo Man” TV show? I thought there was a Repo Man TV show a couple years ago.
Actually the idea was mine and I have had it on the back burner forever, I am aware that there was a repo movie and shows, but the inspiration for [Operacion Repo]
was my own.
I did some MySpace research and noticed you’re from the Bronx. Anytime I bump into any (Last of the Mo’) Ricans out here in LA I’m surprised. I’m from Jersey and y’all are thick back east. But, just like a lot of caucasians, Puerto Ricans seem to often be transplants to Southern California. Why did you move out to L.A.?
Not really recently, I moved out here because my parents moved out here. Been here ever since.
I turned on a couple of friends to the show. Some of them, however, think the show is “ghetto.” They contend that the show emphasizes the worst aspects of the personalities of the people whose cars are being repossessed. They think the show exploits people who humiliate themselves on camera. I disagree, though. I think the show is more like Cops than Jerry Springer. How do you address the haters?
Well, our intention is not to focus on [the] humiliation of others. That is not our objective. But unfortunately opinions are like assholes everybody has one and everybody is entitled to their opinions, so, in conclusion, whether some people say it looks ghetto and some do not, they’re entitled to their feelings on the show.
As you well know, we have no control over that. And we will have [an English] version as well. As far as repoeing is concerned, everyone–hispanic, asian, white, black, anyone can get into this situation where their vehicle gets repoed not only because they ignored their note but it may well be because of another priority emergency, lack of insurance coverage, loss of job. It can be an array of things, not just because they forgot to pay their note.
People, it seems, will do whatever it takes to be televised these days. And I believe “Operacion Repo” succeeds partly due to this phenomenon. Do people ever refuse to sign waivers allowing you to air their episode?
Sometimes, but for the most part they do not mind at all.
Since this a Spanish language show–is there an effort made to repossess cars from Latinos only? I know some haters who think the show “embarrasses” Mexicans. But I say that Mexicans aren’t the only ones who don’t pay their bills. And that since the show takes place in the Valley–what do you expect? Is there any effort made to “diversify” the races of the people on the show? Any selection process as to whose vehicle you’re towing?
Well, I think I answered this question in combination with #8.
I’m a Chevy guy. Why the Ford??? Did you get the best deal from them?
Well, to be honest with you, I am a Chevy man, always have been, but a deal came up and Ford gave it to me [and] I decided on the truck I have now. Had Chevy given me the deal, I would in fact prefer Chevy, being I continue to own my old Chevy Silverado ’02.
When you’re cruising around in the Ford, do you see people who may be late on their payments smashing through traffic trying lose you guys…even though you’re not after them?
Not really, more like when I drive up and on a rare moment while approaching a repo, we might come across someone running to their car and taking off, this has happened. It is funny but we cannot win them all.
Sonia’s eyebrows look very similar to the eyebrows on the Mr. Bungle clown. Where did she get the idea for them? Any inspiration from John Leguizamo perhaps?
Well, my sister is a versatile individual as far as her eyebrows are concerned. Her eye brows are her idea. She changes them frequently, just like she changes her hair. She can care less what people think of her. And those who even come close to trying something stupid, she handles them personally, male or female. She is that way.
Sonia’s MySpace scares me a little bit. Have you guys talked to her about it?
Haahahaha. Actually, it scares me, too. But my sister is my sister and she will do as she pleases. A lot of people missinterpret her just because she is who she is. Yes, she is into dark things, but she is also very smart and talented. People who look and try to analyze her myspace would not think past that. But if they knew her in person, she has her other side. She is sweet, helpful. She has brains. She repoes, she is a mechanic [and] a good cook. She has over 10 years of legal background. and she can get right down dirty with the best of them. Her personna…her tattoos, her piercings are just how she expresses herself. But she has for the most part a huge amount of people who respect and love her because of her outspoken individuality and just the fact she is straight to the point, no bullshit whatsoever…unlike some women or men who pretend to be something they’re not and smile at you while sticking the knife in your back…if you know what I mean.
Does she demand to wear that “wedding dress from Hell” when she repossesses cars? Its seems like it might get in the way.
Well, again…my sister likes the color black and dark colors. And as far as her clothing is concerned, my sister is a skirt and dress wearer. She does not like pants. She prefers heels and boots over sandals and tennis shoes. She has always been that way and that is why she has her clothes custom made. She likes what she likes. And the opinions of others about her style of dress matters very little. But you would be surprised how many people like what she wears. She feels comfortable in it and that is what she cares about, of course .
Matt is a great part of the show. He definitely helps me understand what’s going on since I don’t know Spanish. How did he become involved?
Matt came to us from another repo company that misstreated him and he decided to come work for me. We became friends and obviously he ended up being one of my repossessors.
Matt has a hilarious Wrestlemania-vibe. Does he prepare any Smackdown lines before he goes out on a job?
Not really, that is his, what we call funny side of Matt.
When that guy pushed Matt off his yacht, that looked really…convenient. He barely looked like he tapped Matt! Did Matt fall off the yacht to add some extra drama?
Sometimes things happen that we don’t expect so therefore like anything else it gets handled accordingly.
Did Matt ever file assault charges after being pushed in the water and losing his sunglassess? I thought he went a little “overboard” by threatening a lawsuit. He could’ve crushed that guy.That guy will never go near him again.
Nah. What is passed is passed and that is how he and I see it…no need for more drama.
Did you guys consider repossessing that yacht “pirate”-style. Like, on the high seas? That would’ve been great if you guys had chased him out in the middle of the ocean.
Not really.
There are some haters out there who think the show is dramatized. As in, fake. A lot of people are seen laughing, too. As if they’re not really struggling to get their car back. Are any scenes re-shot for T.V.?
Well there are haters and lovers of the show. This is with any show on TV really, no matter what it is, Jerry Springer, Jose Luis Sin Censura. They all all ask the same questions as well. My answer is pay attention to the notes at the beginning of the show. If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Who made everyone a Siskel and Ebert to determine what is staged, real or otherwise? Let us just say that in everyday television including the news there will always be someone out there to criticize what others are doing, because we ourselves sometimes do the same. Might not be with TV, but in everyday living. So therefore we continue to march on. If Bill Gates or Donald Trump worried in their early days of their haters [or how they themselves might not amount to anything], then probably they would not be in the position they’re in. And that is how I see it. But damn it I wish I was rolling in their shoes now..hehehehehhe
Vanessa’s MySpace page indicates that she’s in a relationship. But I never believe anything I read on “LieSpace.” Is there any chance that she goes for skinny white doods from Jersey? She apparently has very “Simi Valley” taste in music, but I think I can work with her.
She has been in a relationship for a couple of years now, so yes she is. And as far as the LieSpace is concerned, believe me I know.
There are a lot of “heavy metal” aspects to the people involved in Operacion Repo. Vanessa has skulls and iron crosses all over her MySpace. Froy wears t-shirts with aggressive-looking eagles and has thick leather wristbands. And Sonia’s involvement with the “underworld” seems to be without question. Did you guys ever think of starting a band called “Operacion Metal”?
Heheheh, not really it has not crossed my mind…
Lauren Sanchez or Maria Quiban?
Lauren Sanchez.
I noticed no one ever hands their keys over. They always throw them at you. Do you ever get anyone to respectfully hand their keys over?
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t, but there are good days and bad days. And sometimes on a good day someone will hand over the keys…versus throwing them at us.
Don’t know if y’all are Raiders fans or not, but I was wondering if you were happy to see Art Shell go. He seemed pretty lost last year. He made me think that there should be mandatory arbitrary drug testing for NFL coaches. What do you think?
Yes, we have some raider [fans] here..hehehe
If you have Time Warner cable, Operacion Repo airs on Canal 22 de Telemundo Monday through Friday at 5:30pm and 10:30pm. Thanks, Lou!

oh Yeah..lest I forget.
HAVE A FUCKING HAPPY NEW FUCKING YEAR!!!!!!!!
Hey You Ugly Bitch….You need to start following the Laws if you are going to be in the Repo Business!! You guys are breaking EVERY LAW in the book!! You have no right to put your hands on ANYONE just to repo a car, nor do you have the right to enter someones property and hold them down, or pull them out of the car so you can take it!!!
If I was the helicopter pilot you jacked, or the girl with the Honda, I would have sued those shit stains off your eyes!! You think because you have a contract to repo a car that that gives you the right to hold people down, rough them up, detain them, threaten them??…WRONG!!!
Give it time, you and your co-harts will be out of business. And as for you thinking my life is full of crap??… I got news for you, the only thing full of crap are those shit stains on your face! The only reason I watched your failing show is because I was up late working, and your show was the only thing on tv.
So you and DJ Dumbass go fuck yourselves,buy yourself some baby wipes and clean the shit off your face!!
And in case I forgot, Helicopters Fly away….they don’t Drive away…Stupid!!
I really want you to try and repo my truck so I can sue you…hahaha I can just picture your ugly ass trying to detain me!! hahahaha
P.S. I was Born Perfect!! My mother told me so!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
REPO RULES 101
The repossessor in seizing a vehicle cannot “breach the peaceâ€. The law sets out strict rules about what would be considered conduct that “breaches the peace.†The repossessor cannot:
* Use bodily force or threats;
* Break open a locked garage door (but can seize the car from the street or even a driveway.)
* Be accompanied by a government official, such as the police, unless the official has a court order to be present.
* Take the vehicle over your oral objections (if you object to the seizure just before the seizure takes place.)
The law is VERY CLEAR!!! You cannot take a vehicle over Oral Objections, and you are not allowed to use force to repo a vehicle! Everything these dumbass people are doing is against the LAW!!
ALLEN..LISTEN YOU UGLY SORRY ASS DICKHEAD..are you angry at the world and are trying to make up for the shortcomings down there.The only ugly bitch is you..and NO!!!! she lied to you..you were not born perfect..actually there is some possibility that you weren’t really suppose to be here..but actually you have not figured that one out yet..so stop bullshitting yourself with that lame ass excuse..BOO HOO..I WAS UP LATE..AND THE ONLY THING ON TELEVISION WAS OPERACION REPO..Who the fuck!!! are you kidding..there is the news..there is informercials..and if there is a slight possibility that you were somewhat handicapped that day that you could change the channel or remotely..even shut the damn fucking thing off..since you were soooooo annoyed by me..poor baby..WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOUR REALLY KIDDING..!!!! I suggest that since your so much into accussing..let’s see..why don’t you check out jerry springer..ooo wait a minute..how about montell..oh shit!!!..let me not forget other shows..which you probably have alot to say about them…so in shorts..I RECOMMEND YOU THROW YOUR FUCKING TV OUT….STINK YOUR FINGER IN YOUR ASS AND SHUT THE FUCK UP!!..THIS IS FROM YOUR’S TRULY
AS YOU PUT IT..BOO HOOO..UGLY BITTTTTCHHHH..
AND FUCK YOU VERY MUCH AS WELL..
Ok Sonia… You are still ugly, I think you hit every branch in the ugly tree on the way down! It really amazes me that you concentrate on the negative things I am saying about you, but you can’t admit that you and your people break the law and have broken the law when you repo a car, helicopter, honda, whatever.
Ok so I will make this short…because I have a life, I don’t need to watch Jerry Springer or Montel, I don’t need to comment about other shows, what I saw on your show disturbed me, you people are so stupid, you break the law with a tv camera rolling documenting the whole thing!!
You are criminals, you think because you have a piece of paper that says you can pick up a car that that gives you the right to break the fucking law and attack people, assault people, detain people etc….
In closing, you are pathetic! You are a shameful excuse for a Repo company. If I were you, I would go back to school get an education! Specifically in Business and Practices, maybe How to Repo a car 101?? Maybe how to wear shit for eyebrows fashionably! :o)
I can’t wait to see you guys out of business…Now that would be a Good Show!!
p.s. How does one…as you say… “STINK YOUR FINGER IN YOUR ASS?” Isn’t the correct spelling
S T I C K ? I f someone put a finger in your ass, then it would STINK!
HA HA HA Have a Shitty New Year!
This just in…Operacion Repo taken off the air! Ugly Bitch sits on young girl and kills her!… Operacion Repo has been forced to close due to Breaking State and Federal Laws, assaulting vehicle owners, and for being STUPID!!…More at 11pm

WHY DON’T YOU GET IT??? ADMIT IT!! YOU ARE FUCKING CRIMINALS!
I have had enough of this nonsense. Go enjoy your holidays.
Hey sorry guys just caught your show last night (do not watch much t.v.) I loved it!!! Sonia you go girl, I have been readinng all the coments on you guys and they are only haters, all of you keep up the good work and I will keep watching May God Bless
THANKS ELAINE FOR YOUR COMMENT..YUP ALOT OF HATERS..BUT HELL!!!..THEIR ONLY ENTERTAINING THEMSELVES ANYWAYS..HEHEHEH..
Caught your show by accident. I have been a professional repossessor since 1984 and I have to say that it’s people like you who give the profession a bad name. I lost count of the laws broken by your group on just one episode. Cooincidentally, I mad a meeting with clients this week and in that meeting I made it clear that you do not conduct the business of collateral recovery in any sort of professional matter whatsoever. Your clients viewing the program should fire you on the spot as eventually, someone with some sense will sue you both for civil rights violations.
Dear D.HARRIS
Well I can comment all day long as you can see on people like you who watch a show and have alot of critical issues…well..obviously we have been in business for a long time and obviously that is another issue that you have no business to know, but this is a repo show and I do mean “SHOW”..so if you cannot understand that concept then I cannot help you..I am well aware of the “CALR” RULES AND REGULATIONS..obviously..you couldn’t get a license if you did not know the rules..but hopefully you understand that this is again a “SHOW” and I don’t think that you really spend the time to comment every show on it’s originality, reality, fakeness or otherwise..but I thank you regardless, even if you don’t approve on the contents, so if our show is something you dislike because you are a repossessor and don’t approve of it’s contents..than that is okay..change the channel..
bad press, good press..it is all good…
Thank you
This is not funny and/or entertaining this is a very serious matter. You are nothing more than thugs with a reposessors license and you and your possy are a mennis and danger to the public. I have filed a complaint with the appropriat branch of the California Department of Consumer affairs in Sacramento with a link to YouTube where there are several examples of your dirty work. I told them they need to get you off the streets before some gets killed. There is enough in just one episode to put every one of you behind bars for life and believe that is where you belong.
Dear Milliams,
First and foremost learn how to spell, and who the HELL!! put you on the judgment chair to say we are thugs…”Please do me a favor and keep your idiotic stupid comments to yourself..and PS.only in your dreams can you accomplish stopping what we do, because first of all..Television is television and real life situations are real situations. So just to let you know that the only thing that is funny here, is you writing your dumb comment here..change the channel, which is something I say to all who don’t like what they see, for instance you!!!!…
Dear DEMON:
As I said Tn or not you are thugs my step mother45 did repos for a living and she would never even think of doing the thing you do to recover property. You pepole are violent and dangerous and dangerous you do assault and/or kidnap people and from the video that is exactly what been doing and there is no question someone down the line will get killed its just a matter of when. Make no mistake given the time I can identifyall of your real names you place of business and you operators licence number your business is not a right its a privelage and you are abusing it to the max. Make no mistake I will continue to report you to the legal authorities until you put for the rest of your life.
As for coment 64 KISS MY ASS!!!!!

In saying that I like to thank yall for inspireing me to start my own agency known as LastDrive Inc. here in the hill country of texas. Keep up the good work and maybe we can schedule lunch sometime. Sincerley, Mike
P.S. Im a texan but im also puerto rican for you blue collar dip shits.

Froylan, no te olvides que muchos de los que te vemos es por tus payasadas, me gustaria que le hicieras la mofa de “monkey” a sonia o luis o mat de vez en cuando, es una de las cosas que me hace reir mucho a mi y a mis hijos. Jaime R
[...] seen on Operacion Repo? Believe it or not, you’re not alone. Take your concerns straight to the comment section on this page where Sonia herself (aka DEMON AZAZEL) will respond to your love, hatred or general ambivalence in [...]
You people break so many laws its not funny. I am a deputy sheriff and you do not have the right to jump over locked fences on private property let alone drive your truck onto peoples properties.I have taped many of your shows were youur employee Matt has comitted battery on people who do not even put their hands on him.I am going to do everything in my power to have the district attorneys office to take a look at your illegal practices.
DEAR FERNANDO,
I can see your point and your concerns, but ask yourself..this is a program for entertainment.. people love it and love us..yes it is true we have haters out there..but come on now..if you dislike the show, why are you taping it???.. do you tape Dog the Bounter Hunter..do you tape Cops?? do you tape Nip Tuck?? Do you tape Jerry Springer?? Jose Luis Sin Censura? every show has something that people hate or love about it…legal or illegal.it is just a show..yet you seem to take this to another level because it is Operacion Repo..yet..there is a dozen repo shows out there..that have their ups and downs..on legality..but even I know it is just a show..but..you seem to be confused..and have some personal hatred towards us..Grow up…as a sheriff..you should not be so concerned and consumed by television..or are you looking for some easy suing monies..that will never happen..come on now..even law enforcement agencies..have their faults..and that is the real thing..what can you comment on this?? better yet..don’t..I respect the law enforcement, because they are doing their job..So in turn..let us entertain people and have fun doing it..
Also because of your statement on recording and reporting, please do me a favor and email me your email address with your information..I am hoping that you will at least comply and you are just not impersonating a sheriff, which is way against the law..
Thank you,
This is a slap in the face for the Profesional Repossession Agents, We are not circus clowns like the people you have on your show, The fat girl is a real nitemare, This Matt guy is a freak and taking way to much juice , This guy should be locked up. I seen several felonies commited in the first 20 mins of your program, You people have scraped the bottom of the scum pit this time, I hope your stupid show gets shut down before you make the real Repo Agents a bad name.
Tony, President . U.S Recovery,
It is my first time watching this show, it’s a pretty good show, but I think Sonia is no good for this show. She is a dude, trying to act like a young gangster chick. If this show doesn’t make the ratings it is bacause of that ugly dude.
DEAR U.S. RECOVERY & INVESTIGATIONS,

this is like wrestling, alllllllll fake c”mon you guys these are all script
Just watching the back to back to back episodes on TruTV.
It appears that the show is in fact “fake” or staged based on numerous replies from Demon A stating it’s just a “show” etc.
If this is 100% real (which it doesn’t appear to be), it’s really crappy they took that forklift and dropped the guys boxes. That wasn’t cool. You can repo the forklift, but can you harm the cargo on the pallet?..
Ok, so since this is fake..is there a myspace for the hot girl that had her high heeled shoe stuck in the tire?! WOW..she’s fiesty!.
Bummer..my 2 hours of Op. Repo are now over…
fake, real, still painfully entertaining.
Ok..so Demon A?..who’s the cute girl that gave your truck and matt a run for their money!?
Dear Fernando,
It’s a real honor to seem some with both the courage and integrity to do the right thing and not change the channel. These thugs think that the fact that they have a repossession order form a lender gives them the right to locked and/or gated property take the property over the oral objections of the owner and/or take the property by force. Well as a sworn piece officer you and I both know they are dead wrong, the fact that they have a repossession order is not a legal excuse for their behavior. I have done some extensive investigation on these thugs and being that you are in the process of investigating these punks I believe my notes might be of great value in your investigation. For of all the company you are investigation is:

I have contacted the Los Angeles World Airports Police regarding their reposition of a helicopter registration number N688SS in which Matt tackled a pilot threw him across a desk and threatened to break his neck. I sure hope this information helps you put these thugs behind bars for good.
I just caught the premiere episodes earlier on TruTV and I found it to be very interesting as I have never seen a show based on the repossesion industry. I enjoyed it so much my TV is still on the same channel and I’m re-watching the repeats.
I did a quick search and came across this site and enjoyed the insight that Lou Pizarro offered in the preceeding interview.
I look forward to seeing future episodes.

Dear to all those who spend their time negatizing the show,
Thanks to all of you…for the ones who still watch us and say it is fake, for those who cannot distinguish reality from actuality, and for those chicken shits who spend their time putting information that is negatizing..personally I will be more than happy to get your ip addresses and report your actions since you people don;t have the balls to give a proper response followed with names and addresses.I would be more than happy to answer all your questions in person, up front and personal instead of parading yourselves with all this poppycock 411…heheh..and of course I would have to say a definate thanks to all those who can reply back with something positive.
I am realizing that this day in age their is alot of jealousy and discord towards are show could it be that your own misery in your life has only given time to just look at our show to just say how much you hate us..obviously their is something about us that bothers you so..yet you watch our show only to wish that you came up with the idea?? or is it that your a miserable repossessor yourself and hate the fact that we are on tv and your not?? face it and don’t deny the fact and recognize that no matter how negative your statements are, will not change the fact that we are here to stay…and make sure to drop a post to every show on television describing not only your dissappointment and see if anyone cares..remember, good publicity or bad publicity is still good publicity..so thanks for your support..
hi DEMON—i think the speculation the show is “fake” or staged might have come from you or Lou
lou : 3/27/07 at 12:07 am
if you dont like the show change the canal,and you must really hate! to go as far as to check the license to a show that clearly state’s in the first 7 seconds of the show that there reinactments, hmmmm let me see you probably had your car repoed or your just plain losanjealous…no hard feelings huh
lou : 3/27/07 at 9:39 pm
I would like to thank all the lovers of the show and
all the haters as well for as much as they hate it..still waste their time commenting on it..and checking licenses and so on. Operacion Repo does not have to justify itself to nobody..We are clearly operating legitimately under the rules and regulations that are called for on the show.. And if we need to repossess as they call it, a real repossession..we have the license, the tools to do it..and the only justification at that time, will be to the state of california, not to someone who feels the need to complain and whine on how operacion repo is fake..read the lines prior to the show starting..and understand that if you have difficulty in understanding what “dramatization” is..look it up in your Websters Dictionary..thank you…
Demon Azazel : 10/24/07 at 11:14 am ..maybe you might want to get rid of your television because most of what is on tv is either sexually explicit, comical, fake, true, ridiculous,boring, bloody, violent and so on..it is called one word..
‘ ENTERTAINMENT ”
DEMON AZAZEL : 1/17/08 at 7:11 pm
but this is a repo show and I do mean “SHOW”..so if you cannot understand that concept then I cannot help you..I am well aware of the “CALR” RULES AND REGULATIONS..obviously..you couldn’t get a license if you did not know the rules..but hopefully you understand that this is again a “SHOW”
-OK, so i was just pointing out that it appears that Lou and Demon both agree that parts are re-shot, dramatized, a “show”, etc.
–Also, Demon, “negatize” isn’t a word, just to let you know
–Finally, Sort of like how you say “if you don’t like a show, change the “canal”/Channel…You could almost apply that to the “hater” comments you read. if you don’t like them, move along.
The “haters” are engaging you by getting you to respond.
Also, getting IP addy’s and reporting what?..that someone has an opinion or putting up on the internet info that is Public knowledge?
Okay..finally finally–I actually “like” the show–im as white as they come, but was watching on Channel 22, and now TruTV…
Also–Where was the way cute girl that “got” her car repo’d after Matt jumped the fence when it was what to appeared to be locked.
She was cute!
For everyone on here that just has something negative to say- get a life. You are only on here saying the shit that you say b/c you hate your own life and want to bring everyone else down with you. Like Demon Azazel says- if you don’t like it change it. It’s ridiculous that you watch a show, hate it, and then take the time to get on the internet and look for a website that you can post how much you hate it. That makes no sense to me. I don’t like a lot of shows on T.V. but I rather talk about the ones I like than the ones that I don’t.
For the crew on Operacion Repo- you all are hilarious. I saw the show for the first time last night and I loved it. Real, fake- it doesn’t matter. T.V. is for entertainment and I was entertained. Sonia you crack me up. I know you already know this- but don’t listen to what other people say about what you look like or how you act. If there were more people like you, this world would be a lot better than it is.
Since I just saw the show for the first time, could someone explain to me who is who and how everyone is related? I was a little confused.
But anyway- Fuck the negativity, there are a lot more things going on in the world that people should be worried about!
same goes for comments..if you don’t like them, move on and only read the one’s you “like” or that favor you.
And you should not have opinions anymore, unless they are good.
Well at least we have a conclusion to all this negativity and yes I knew that negatize is not a word…As far as comments I understand that their is alot of negative comments and I could easily disregard but again eventhough Operation Repo does not need to justify itself, definately I feel the need to take a stand so that people realize that we are people too and the mere fact of getting personal just because they don’t like the show is unacceptable to me so therefore I will write.
AS FOR LOVE THE SHOW..
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT AND SUPPORT, AND YES JUST TO CLARIFY, LOU IS MY BROTHER AND BOSS,FROYLAN IS MY EX HUSBAND, LYNDAH IS MY NIECE AND MATT IS AN PAST EMPLOYEE..HOPEFULLY I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION …
THANK YOU
You left out that cute chick!–on the TruTv episode yesterday…you keep skipping that part..
if this is dramatized, then perhaps she’s an actress?..super cute, give her up Demon!..
the show is great, no negatizing here!
