Jerry Springer Show
I was talking with my husband about this show today and I was wondering, aren't there regulations in the US that will stop these kind of shows? I find it to be truly disgusting and cannot believe people would actually sit down and watch this kind of trash.
People will find odd that this show did NOT start like it is now:

| It started as a politically-oriented talk show, a longer version of the commentary for which Springer had gained local fame as a reporter and anchor.[3] Guests early on included Oliver North and Jesse Jackson, and the topics included homelessness and gun politics.[4][5] Low ratings led it to be run by a new producer, Richard Dominick. The search for higher ratings led the program towards tawdry and provocative topics, becoming more and more successful, although it still covered issues that were more sensitive and less sensational.[3] It became, through Springer's own admittance, a "freak show" where guests seek their 15 minutes of fame through discussion and demonstrations of deviant behavior.[6] Its extraordinary success has led it to be broadcast in dozens of countries. The show gained so much popularity that for a while it was the top-rated daytime talk show in the United States.... |
