The Jerry Springer Show (1991–2018)
5/10
Good For Entertainment Only
24 April 2009
The Jerry Springer Show is unlike any show on television and not for a good reason.

The Springer show focuses mainly on violence and the people on the show are usually poor white trash. The topics on the show range from people cheating on their spouse, to transvestites and hookers. The topics used to have more of a variety in the past but now are mainly cheating spouses.

The people that come on the show do it to mainly get a piece of someone that has wronged them or to defend themselves. Calling the Jerry Springer show a talk show seems ironic because the majority of the show focuses on violence.

Usually the format of the show goes like this: someone will come out and tell Jerry what is going on in their life. After talking with them another guest comes out and the fight begins. Security separates them and Jerry asks another question or two. Usually the 2 people just go back to fighting and then the next guests will be brought out for a different story.

At the end of the show they all sit on stage when guests ask insulting questions. Finally Jerry gives his final thought as if they came to that conclusion because of the show. All of the side antics on the show are both funny and ridiculous.

So the bottom line is when it comes to the Springer show is it is purely entertainment at its lowest level. It can be fun to see trashy people fight or stupid issues but this show really does nothing to solve people's problems. It exploits those problems for ratings and makes it into a circus. So watch the Springer show for entertainment but not for an intelligent talk show or anything above wrestling.
