Jerry Springer--- A Hoax?

~~Jarrah White~~ · 03-18-2004, 07:22 PM

Does any body watch the Jerry Springer show? I've been watching it and it's begun to seem phony to me. It's getting just too weird and I'm begining to wonder if it was all staged and scripted. That some of Springers' guests were actors, paid to say all these things, what do you think?

My theory on the Jerry Springer show:

Most of the situations and stories are real, but they're played out by actors.

I thought he admitted that it was all fake...?

Maybe I imagined that...

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-18-2004, 07:30 PM

I'm quite positive that some of his guests are actors. Some of the things on that show are too weird. But honestly, so many of those people are just too sadly real...buncha losers.

It's just starting to seem fake to you now?

*Drtooth* · 03-18-2004, 07:56 PM

If there is any one man I hate in the feild of television, Jerry Springer would be it. He pollutes the dial with sleezy shows more fixed than a wrestling match. Of course it's fake. Do you know any 55 year old grannies pushing 500 pounds willing to sit around in their bras? Nope! And if you'll excuse me, I need to get some hideous thoughts out of my head... gleeehhhh!!!!!

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-18-2004, 09:33 PM

Of course, how many 500lb actresses are there willing to sit around in their bras?

*Raven* · 03-18-2004, 09:40 PM

it seems pretty fake, but most talk shows are starting to seem like that now.

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-18-2004, 09:50 PM

Seems like the same crap over and over. Probably is, we're humans.

*ZariusTwo* · 03-18-2004, 10:13 PM

Nearly every talk show is fixed to some extent, Jerry Springer is more obvious than most of them though

*The Defibrillator* · 03-19-2004, 12:58 AM

I've never even seen a full episode and I already can tell it's fake.

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-19-2004, 01:58 AM

Ahhhh...daytime TV. I've just about had my fill of it being sick at home all week. I must admit though, I like Jerry Springer himself. I admire him for making money off of that crap.

Practically all he does on the show is make jokes and stand out of the way.

*That Matt Guy* · 03-19-2004, 06:00 AM

Does it matter?

**Kali** · 03-19-2004, 11:15 AM

The only thing I like about Springer is the stand-up comedy bits he inspires. I've never watched the show. I mean, there are so many better shows on. M*A*S*H is always on somewhere...

*Storm Wolf* · 03-19-2004, 12:55 PM

i think it's staged anymore......i remember at one point it had a few decent episodes that were about like survivors of horrible accidents and whatnot......but now it's only about screwy love triangles, dirty secrets, and a bunch of other stupid crap. In the first few seasons of Jerry Springer they didn't fight everytime the bell rang and they definatly didn't strut around in thier bras and undergarments.....so yeah of coarse i think it's staged now. like SC said tho I hafta admire the fact that the man is making some serious green offa it!

I hate that show. I think it's fake. I don't like talk shows in general but Jerry Springer is really bad. I saw one Thanksgiving episode where this "family from hell" were on and it showed them having a huge food fight with each other. Sometimes it can be funny in a childish way, but mostly I think it sucks and at least some of those people are actors.
