The Jerry Springer show

[The BB of C offline]

I watched about an 8th of an episode while I was on vacation. That was about all I could watch. I used to watch it all the time. But I forgot how absolutely incredibly without a doubt psyco crazy the people on that show were. The funniest thing about it is that Jerry just sits there and watches the sparks fly while the audience chants his name and meanwhile you hear nothing but censorship beeps from the guests screaming and throwing chairs at each other.

So, this one episode I watched was this one guy, sleeping with his ex-wife because she wouldn't let him see his son otherwise. But he's got this fionce now with an artificial arm. So he and his ex-wife are yelling at each other about his son and then he says something that his fionce doesn't like. His fionce ripps off her artificial arm and chucks it square at his head. Then he gets back up and Jerry's like:
"You used to be fat?" to the guy because the guy was complaining all the time about how fat he used to be and how he's ultra self consious and the guy flat ripps off his shirt! Tie and all he's like:
"You're [freaking] right I used to be fat! I used to weigh 390 pounds!"

Then the fionce hits him over the head with her artificial arm again. That's when I just had to turn it off.

What do you think of the show?

Never been able to understand the attraction. Trashy TV like that is why I pretty much stick to cartoons these days. ^^;

I can't decide if it's a step up or a step down from soaps, though. Leaning towards down. Haha.

Same here. But, I haven't seen it anyway.

I think it's funny, but I SWEAR some of those fights are scripted. They happen too much to be spontaneus(sp?) and their clothes get ripped off to often.

Way too often.

I hate this show..the only thing it does is keeps stupid people occupied while us sane people go about our business...otherwise, its just dumb stupid, and point.

I'm pretty sure it's all staged. The people don't get upset enough about some of the stuff.

The first season or so was ... horrifyingly interesting, but now it's pretty dull.

If you have seen half the stuff before, you have seen it all...its always the same problems, and so predictable...they need to kill the show..but wait, it keeps the idiots entertained so the rest of us can be safe from them.
