That show has to be staged I can't imagine a repo man getting away with pepper spraying people for simply being in their proximity. I know they are a needed service for creditors but I have had the disprivilege of doing loans for a couple repo men that they are the scummiest, lying, cheating POS's I've ever encountered. One of them had to have his wife get the financing because guess what....he had repo's and a foreclosure himself.


dicks.

Its kinda of amusing but I really just think "man they would so be sued" After about 2 shows it looses its luster.

Now if you want some good TV on Tru you must watch TSG's worlds dumbest, I think its one of the best shows on TV.

I loved the movie Repo Man. That's a real classic.

Any TV show that is billed as a "reality" show is suspect to begin with. How real can it be when you throw a television crew into ANY situation?

Excellent soundtrack.

From what I gather Operation repo is a fake and the scenes are reenactments.

From the one episode I did see, if that crap were to happen to a certain someone the sequel would be "The last repo".

It's scripted - there is a disclaimer on opening. There is actually a movie being produced with the same name.
