The Jerry Springer Show (1991–2018)
Say what you want, but I LOOOVE it!!!
16 July 2000
A great way to pass the late school nights! It was so much fun watching all the guests, both young and old, beautiful and ugly, and slim and fat battle it out on the stage as the whole studio audience stand up and scream "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" So it's time for the brawny Steve in his trademark black polo shirt to break it up.

Sure, the topics are hopelessly repetitive (lovers cheating on each other, straight or gay or transvestite) - but that's all it is needed to inflame the red-hot rage long subdued in all the guests, thus they get to take it out on each other and openly humiliate themselves and their former lovers - much to all of our great amusement and enjoyment. And some of the guests are so freely allowed to dress poorly and behave poorly, thus creating the need for the blurred-over images on the public television. And all the nasty words are "bleeped out" during all that vigorous mud-slinging and name-calling in the front of the very TV camera. To add to the entertainment, the members of the audience get to air out their very own dirty laundry at the guests, thus resulting in even more fistfights.

Unfortunately, the show has gotten quite tame lately. No more blotted out smears over a guest's unmentionables. No more vicious catfights and ripping of shirts and blouses. No more burlesque shows. And no more chasing around the whole studio and even out of the building itself. Just some angry scolding and that is all. In fact, the show itself is even moved to a far more unconvenient time. But the entertainment value has now gone down. Way down. But at least there's always the videos for the truly rabid fans.
