God I love this show. It’s one that I can’t change the channel if I stumble on it and can’t turn it off once I start watching. It’s so dramatic and exciting. The surprising thing is after watching about 1000 episodes of this and have only seen 1 or 2 people who I ever felt sorry for.
Anyone else drawn to this show?
My husband likes it and I too find myself getting sucked in when it’s his turn with the remote. But I never seek it out.
I used to love that show. I watched it every week, and would catch up when they would show the marathons. I don’t watch it anymore, however, as my current job allows me to live the “Lockup” experience for about 35 hours per week.

I wish they would spin all that programming off to a separate channel so MSNBC could be a 24/7 news channel. I don’t begrudge anyone the programming they enjoy, but I’m always disappointed on Fridays when the news disappears and Lockup starts.
It’s more like a 60 hour marathon of Lockup every weekend. It’s great! They have Lockup, Lock up Extended Stay, Lock up Raw, Lock up behind the scenes.
LOCK ME UP WITH LOCK UP!
Too many repeats.
When I worked the night audit every weekend, I’d usually tune the office tv to the various Lockup marathons. I thought it was pretty interesting, but I didn’t have to pay close attention, so no big loss if I had to check in guests or answer the phone or otherwise, you know, work. Over the course of two years, I’ve seen every episode multiple times. So I’d say yes, I did find it interesting, but BTDT now.
To me, it’s like MSNBC turns from a fairly intelligent politics junkie into an idiot every weekend. Can’t stand it.
In fact, I dislike MSNBC’s weekend programming so much I started a thread about it over a year ago:
Yeah, but that means I get to see the one about the Indiana prison with cats fairly regularly.
I like it a lot. Do you also watch “Jail” and “Las Vegas Jailhouse”?
