Anybody watch this tv show? It's really interesting.


I saw the original documentary, which was great. The tv version on MTV expands on the same idea.

Saw a half of a show last week... Guess you can get into it..

Pretty Fuked up on the one that was talking to a guy, and it turned out to be a Girl ( if you want to call her a girl )

Think this show would be watched by plenty of Forum people.

*Being a guy online

I saw this show for 5 minutes one time, and it was that part.
That "girl" wasn't even phased for being caught that she was acting like a dude. Ha

The Movie I believe is about a Guy who meets a Girl on the Internet... starts talking via Email, Text and Phone.
She's HOT ! like almost Model Hot... they talk for ... I don't weeks, months... and he plans to see her without her knowing...

Oh forget that... I found the Plot

Young photographer Yaniv "Nev" Schulman lives with his brother Ariel and friend Henry Joost in New York City. Abby Pierce, an eight-year-old child prodigy artist in rural Ishpeming, Michigan, sends him a painting of one of her published pictures. They become Facebook friends in a network that broadens to Abby's family, including her mother, Angela (Wesselman); Angela's husband Vince (Stephen Fogarty); and Abby's attractive older half-sister, Megan, a veterinary technician, dancer, and songwriter who lives in Gladstone, Michigan.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP]
For a documentary, Ariel and Henry film Nev as he begins a long-distance relationship with Megan, conducted over the Internet and phone calls, and they discuss meeting in person. She sends him MP3s of her songs, but Nev discovers that they are all taken from performances by other people on YouTube. He later finds evidence that Megan and Abby have made other false claims.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP]
Ariel urges his upset brother to continue the relationship for the documentary. The siblings and Henry eventually travel to Michigan to make an impromptu appearance at the Pierces' house and confront Megan.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] When they travel to Angela's house, she takes a while to answer the door, but she appears very happy to see them. She casually announces that she will begin chemotherapy for uterine cancer soon. She drives them to see Abby, who says "you're confusing me" when Nev repeatedly asks her about her art.
The next morning, Nev wakes up to a text message from Megan saying that she was checking in to rehab and that she would not be able to meet him. A Facebook message from one of Megan's friends confirms that she is checking in to rehab. Later that day, Nev suggests to Angela that they have a serious talk, and she breaks down, admitting to making everything up. She claims that the pictures of Megan she used were from a family friend, and Angela worries that she betrayed her. In fact, the pictures are from a completely unrelated woman from Washington. Unable to stop lying, Angela claims that her real daughter Megan really is in rehab downstate, but it turns out that Megan has been estranged from the family for a long time.
All of the artwork that Abby was supposed to have created was actually by Angela. Nev spends some time sitting for a portrait with Angela, and they talk more about her lies. She confesses that all the various personae were fragments of her personality, usually enacting some fantasy of what her life would have been like if she had not made the choices she had. Her husband Vince is under the illusion that Nev is a patron of Angela's, commissioning all the artwork that she sent to him. Vince has twin sons with severe disabilities from a previous marriage.
Sitting on his front porch, Vince tells the story that gives the film its name. He claims that when live cod were shipped to Asia from North America, the fish's inactivity in their tanks resulted in mushy flesh in the Asian markets. Eventually, the fishermen discovered that putting catfish in the tanks with the cod kept them active. Vince feels that people like Angela are catfish, who keep other people active in life.

and on the TV show, it's about people that meet online.. or Facebook or whatever... but when they Really meet... They have lied about who they are... and in some cases ain't even the person in the Photo's they post.

Hot Chick = Fat Pig

or in the case I was talking about earlier, some chick was talking to this guy online, and when she went to meet Him... it was another Chick !

Thanks BAS. I actually watched this for a bit a while ago until it got to be no longer worth my time. Maybe 20 minutes in.

20 minutes i'm never getting back.

i thought it was the filmmakers who were the catfish, and Angela when caught curiously showed no remorse
