Maury

How the hell is this show still on?? Who the hell watches it? It's the SAME show every single fucking day! If you've seen one, you've seen them all! Maury needs to go out in 2013 like Sears and JC Penny.

• I completely agree. But there's a huge faction of pseudo-puritanical voyeur types that thrive on that shit. He's a one-trick-pony who's got it made for life. Chuckling on his way to the bank

• The show is dirt cheap to produce. Its ratings are low but extremely stable, so that means advertisers can know with near certainty what they are getting for their money. In many ways I think Maury's show is far more appalling than Springer. Watching Springer, it's pretty clear that the "guests" are in on the joke, and know exactly what they are there to do and how they are expected to behave. Maury, however, is trotting out people (usually young black women) who are in a genuine crisis situation, and placing them at the center of an appalling three-ring circus.

• You are NOT the father!

• I can't imagine actually doing the show. Beyond the repetition, it would be hard to feel good about yourself. He must just like being on TV - I don't think he needs the money at this point. I wonder what Connie Chung is thinking?

• I had no idea he was still on television.

• what about steve wilkos' show? it's in the same vein. people enjoy this gross jerry springer derived shit.

• R6 - What's worse is that Steve Wilkos is rather dim and doesn't really have much of a personality. He became famous based on his look alone on Jerry Springer - unbelievable.

• I think the Maury guests are actors too...I watched a segment this morning (that's what prompted me to start this thread) and it seemed so amped up for television. You could tell the producers told them to be LOUD! during their taped pieces and then flail their arms all over the place when they go out onto the stage. The audience's ooh-ing and aah-ing was way over the top too. The whole mess just seemed painfully fake to me. I've gotten my fix of Maury for the year.

• You are a racist, anti-jew monger.

• no,i'm just saying jerry is indeed the focus point for this form of circus tv. maury at the very beginning did attempt to do some serious shows. remember? and then it became all about baby daddies and whose a real women vs. t-girl shows.

• It's still a hit. Jerry Springer's still on too.

• It would be nice to believe they are actors, r8, but they are not. My partner is a public school teacher in Brooklyn, and one of his female students was crying uncontrollably one day. When she was pulled aside, turns out she was upset because the Maury show decided against including her on an upcoming episode, and that now she would never be able to afford / force the paternity test she needed to identify / prove who she thought her baby's father was. It was all very ridiculous, very depressing, and all too real.

• Black people love this shit.

• BALLOONS!!!

• r13 Racist statement. Let's see if anyone starts a thread about the racists on this board.

• A lot of threads have been started about the racists on this board. Nothing ever happens, they're allowed to stay here and post that shit every day.

• It's true you dumbfuck. Coons love their Maury and crackas love their Jerry Springer. Get over it and move on.

• [quote] JC Penny Is that anything like, uh, JC Penney?

• Maury is 73. Springer is 68. It really is time for them to call it a day.
