common let's all say it together

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry…….

-The one criticism that's usually levied at this show is that its trash TV and the decline of the western civilization which are all very true but is also the main appeal of the show. With every talk show being about pregnancy test, overcoming abuse and other stuff you just need a break from all that to watch a show that's just purely fun which is what they deliver. It's no secret that the guests are paid very handsomely to appear on the show with all their embarrassing secrets being poured out on national TV and most of the guests are pretty much actors with a lot of their stories being pulled from someone else's life. It's pretty easy to tell which one is real and which one isn't because the real ones act like the way normal would act when a bombshell is dropped on their laps which is being speechless or bursting into tears where as the fake guests usually just brush it off and proceed to fight which is the only reason why anyone actually watches the show.

-There aren't nearly as much fights as there used to be since they were forced to tone it down but there still is plenty enough to satisfy all your barbaric needs. There's even an inclusion of a fight bell that sounds every time to guest are about to plow each other. The fights really get fun once the two people are done with each other and they proceed to attack the audience when they start to chant words like "Whore" and "You Suck". Jerry isn't the only famous one on the show since Steve and Todd have also grown in popularity and have their own chants. A woman guard to join Steve, Todd and the gang will be a nice addition since they are all male but that's probably a bad idea since she'd be forced to wear some skanky cop outfit and act like Paris Hilton *shudders*

-During the last 10 minutes of the show is when things really get fun because that's when the audience starts to ask questions and whiles the questions aren't always funny or inventive they are pretty awesome for a good deal of the time. I don't know how long they have been doing this but the last time I saw the show which was back in February they allowed the audience to go on stage and dance on a pole and also if a girl took of their top they got a "Jerry bead". Well at least their not being over the top. The final thoughts are usually after all the cursing, lies, fights, and betrayal are done and Jerry pulls up a chair and gives us some words of advice. My advice to Springer is to maybe quit this show and do "Air America" full time because he's a lot better on that radio station than he is at this show.

-When you're in a bad mood and feel bad about yourself just watch this show and after you see the screwed up people on there it should make you feel a lot better about your life.

Till next time take care of yourself and each other.
