Has anyone watched Growing Belushi? I just started watching it.
I am not a big fan of most reality shows to begin with, but this one seems particularly awful and scripted. Nonetheless, I will probably watch the entire thing just to see how they portray Cannabis and Oregon.
So to get to the scripted parts (beyond the obvious canned lines). In the first episode the plants are totally fried. Looking like someone left the water off in a hydro set up. They show Jim spraying with Neem oil in the scene before this. They then say that Jim killed the plants by spraying then leaving the lights on all night. So, Neem can burn leaves when sprayed in full light at high doses, but the damage looks nothing like what they showed. I donât know that they murdered the plants on purpose for the scene, but the neem didnât kill them.
never heard of it until now but I just opened another window and am about 10 minutes into the first episode. looks like an awesome farm and a beautiful piece of this country. I have always loved john and jim and like you, ill probably watch it to see how it goes but it absolutely has a scripted feel to it. ill give it a shot. maybe it will get better
I watched the first couple episodes and was disappointed. They are just using the cannabis cultivation as a backdrop for the âreality showâ.
But Dan Aykroyd shows up in the second episodeâŚ
Now they are in Columbia trying to extract some IP from the locals.
Coca si, cocaina no! Just saying. Donât need to demonize the plant . Jim canât say coca, apparently. He kept saying âcoco fields,â which there may have been those too, and I was visualizing John doing lines of cocoa powder.
aw! go on! itâs right there, I⌠I can almost hear it, it, itâs on the tip of your tongue. there you go. IT SUCKS!
now donât we fell a lot better after that, I know that I do, see⌠it wasnât all that hard, was it?
When ever TV finds what people will look at, they wear it out, and squeeze it down to trash.
I enjoyed the Blues Brothers, but the idea of going to see to see, moldie oldies, recreating a movie concert, some 30 +years later on, just makes my skin crawl, like seeing your best plant go hermi.
I wish Jim would be Jim, not shades of John, or mannerismâs of John.
I was just hoping it would not be what it has become for me, them living off a dead guys charm and talent, and ONE skit they did in a movie, BBâs. TV can be so hard to watch anymore, cookie cutter shows, regurgitated nonsense, and just so simple minded.
But I wish for his endeavor to do well for him and his, it will be without me.
ive seen 3 episodes, and thought it was crap, plants looked fryed, looked liked they had been chucked in there for the program. and forgot about. lol. they need a better grower,
. Jim canât say coca, apparently. He kept saying âcoco fields,â which there may have been those too, and I was visualizing John doing lines of cocoa powder.
