QUICK TAKES - Oct. 6, 2009
In the weeks before celebrity disc jockey and Los Angeles club owner Adam Goldstein, who was better known as DJ AM, died of an accidental overdose Aug. 28, he had been filming a documentary-style reality series for MTV in which he helped families and friends of drug addicts stage interventions for loved ones.
MTV announced Monday that it will move ahead with plans to air the eight-part series, “Gone Too Far,” beginning at 10 p.m. Monday.
Goldstein, 36, hosted and created the series, in which he helped addicts, ages 20 to 25, battle their alcohol and drug demons.
MTV said executives decided to move ahead with the series with the “consent and support” of Goldstein’s family.
