hakkamike Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 The only time I saw Jerry Springer was when MTV had a spring break special and they were letting him live out his fantasy, which consisted of rolling up two co-eds in a big tortilla smothered with sour cream and salsa. I immediately forbade my kids from ever watching MTV or Jerry Springer after that. As for my SO, I will strongly advise that she not watch it. But whether she does or not is up to her. I think she will be far too busy to watch junk TV during the day. American culture at its worst? Indeed.196423[/snapback]Man, what do you have against Messican Food Link to comment

BillV 8-16-2004 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 The show is sick, twisted perverse and the lowest kind of entertainment you can imagine. That's why I like it. Makes me wonder how many closet Springer watchers there are. After all they guy has been on TV a long time. 196163[/snapback]My wife also watches The Jerry Springer Show plusThe Maury Povich Show. Oh well I guess it could be worst maybe Oprah too, no offense meant. Link to comment
tonado Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I watched the uncensored version and you can tell they are staged (fighting and nudity). Link to comment
dstarsboy Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 The show I'm worried about my SO watching would be more like "Desparate Housewives". ;oP Link to comment
Robert S. Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 My wife basically only watches the Food Channel, which suits me fine!!! It is the stepdaughter who has terrible taste in television but I am pretty sure it will not have any effect on her anyway. Link to comment
RLS Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 One of the biggest scum balls that ever lived - an embarrassment to our Country. But, for now, we still have "some" free speech left. Link to comment

But, for now, we still have "some" free speech left.198472[/snapback]Sorry, I don't see this as free speech, I see it as a carny side (freak) show. That kinda crap has been allowed by almost all cultures throughout the ages, it's just that we can see it on TV. *yuk* Link to comment
PJ Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I've tried to get my wife to watch WWE with me. It's entertaining as heck. She thinks it's horrible. She now knows the word "wrestling" though. The more I think at work, the less I want to think for my entertainment, and vice versa. When I was in high school and worked at blockbuster shelving videos, my idea of entertainment was to read books on nonlinear systems. Now that I'm working as a software engineer, I like entertainment that doesn't make me think, just makes me laugh. Guys getting hit with steel chairs is funny. Link to comment

SinoTexas Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Jerry Springer was a real kick to watch live. While attending an EEO training class in Chicago several years ago, three of us took off and watched the show being taped. The tickets were free, EEO was boring and we thought we might see nekd female bodies. It was fun sitting in the audience and hollering and yelling. I was sitting next to Steve and during the fighting part, he came away with real blood coming out of his forehead. I was amazed that when it aired, how many people quietly pulled me aside and asked if that was me on Jerry Springer. There are a lot of closet Springer fans out there! I taped that episode and still watch it from time to time. My friends get a kick out of seeing me and my buddies cut up on tv. As aye, Jim Link to comment
