This was the very early 1990s. Hell, you wouldn't have been old enough during that time to have seen it or understand it and it has not been in reruns. It wasn't boring at all. At least they had a different actual topic each day such as prostitution, homosexuality, racism, swinging, etc. It was an adult show for adults.

It turned into a bunch of nothing consisting of one topic every single day...."I've Been Cheating On You"..... Yeah, they had a bunch of different twists to it such as "I've Been Cheating On You With Your Brother", "I've Been Cheating On You My Same Sex", "I've Been Cheating On You With My Grandmother", "I've Been Cheating On You With My Dog", but it all still comes down to one topic which is "I've Been Cheating On You" each and every single day. Now, if that ain't boring I don't know what is. And then they brought on the most degrading stereotypes there are. If the person was black, it was somebody ghetto. If the person was white, it was somebody redneck. If the person was gay, it was somebody flaming. The original show had all these groups on the show also but they weren't the degrading stereotypes and more importantly, the audience was not a bunch of idiots who are just in the studio to stir up shit and throw insults at guests. The orginal show tried to create an understanding of the guests, the later show was there to exploit them and put them in front of an audience that hates them. Jerry Springer became a fucking disgrace and that "Be good to yourself and each other" line at the end of the show is a bunch of hypocrital bullshit. It came from the orginal show and it sure as hell didn't apply to what the show became and he looked like a damn fool continuing that line when he was the very one stirring up the bullshit. That show is like a damn dog fight for humans instead of dogs. If the motherfucker wants to get people to fighting, then he needs to stand his ass up there and let them knock the hell out of him. Now THAT would be entertaining. I can't stand that bastard.

It didn't go down like that at all. It started with the studio looking a certain way and a middle aged audience. When it came back, it was a college age audience and a completely different looking studio set. Nobody just happened to get up one day and start fighting and then it continued. If that were the case, the first fight would have started on the original show with the middle aged audience. When he came back with the college audience and the new studio set, the fights started from day one because fights are what he wanted. He wouldn't have had that security all over the place if he didn't plan for it. I found it amazing though that the security just couldn't seem to hold the person back from fighting the other person. On other shows, if someone was unruly like that, they were asked to leave. There wouldn't be no security trying to hold them. However, I bet if one of those guest were after Jerry's ass, that damn security would be able to hold them back.

BTW, if y'all want to see relatively good music videos for current songs, check out country music.

If you want to hear real rock and roll guitar, country is the only place left where it's played.

Depends on what type of "rock and roll guitar" you're talking about... lol guitar does exist a lot in country though. But so it does in blues and that ain't been popular in years but it's still here. lol

True but the music all sounds the same. I hear better vocals and lyrics on top 40 radio stations.

1. Optimism about human kind. Through equal opportunities for non white males, we could attain a savety and freedom around the world. (aaah, that preciouss stupid youth)

2. Study at University, have fun side jobs, live by the day and play it by ear.

3. Underground house parties in empty buildings throughout the city. The non-consumptive, idealistic feel good vibe from those days.

4. Having friends that are not stuck in their stressfull careers. Having friends that are not obsessed with heir ambitious perfect educational and social development plans for their children. Have friends that care about love, values, morals and content of their work, in stead of being cought up in the rat race for money, status by shrewd office politics etcetera.

5. Dance my ass off every night of the week. And go to college next day with a good mood.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

Some of the Jerry show with fights were real. Most have a grain a truth and the rest of the story is full on lie. You can see it when the people smile on there face when they talk (bad acting.)

Some of those security guys were cops on a second job. Legally and ethically can not stand by and watch somebody being assaulted and not report it.They got in trouble, but the fights continued on the show-hmmm probably staged fighting. You don't have to report scripted fights.

I'll tell you why that shit was fake. Because about half of those guys, if they were as "tough" as they were acting, would have run up on Jerry and given that fool a beat down if they had that shit sprung on them out of nowhere.

It didn't take long to see it was fake, especially when one of the main topics, day after day after day, is "I Have A Secret To Tell You". The secret is ALWAYS that they have been cheating on the other person. Now, after a few shows of this, if the person you were dating were to tell you that they have booked the two of you on The Jerry Springer Show, the first thing you are going to ask them is "What is the topic" and when they tell you that it is "I Have A Secret To Tell You", they are going to know immediately that the other person has been cheating because that is what the secret ALWAYS is on that show. Then, they are going to fight it out at home, not in a studio in front of a bunch of assholes egging it on.

But the thing that irritates me the most, whether it's fake or not, is that the purpose of the show is to bring on people who much of the world views as outcasts and have a whole studio full of people throw insults at them and bash them on national TV. While the previous talk shows brought on outcasts, they tried to get an understanding of them and help the rest of the world to accept them. The Jerry Springer Show did the exact opposite and it promotes and encourages the bashing of outcasts in the schools and in the streets. My mother, who was a very large lady, used to watch this show almost every day and it used to make my blood boil until one day, I just finally told her, "If you were up on that stage, and you are a very large lady, and you weren't even speaking much but you were just simply up on that stage, what do you think would happen when they start taking questions from the audience? It wouldn't take very long before someone started their question to you with a personal insult.". She thought about it for a minute and she never watched that rediculous show again. Everyone has something about them that could be considered as an outcast and it ain't so funny when the shoe is on the other foot. I absolutely hate that fucking show and turn the channel as fast as I can when I see it on the TV.

It's absolutely fake because Jerry himself would have gotten his own ass beat a long time ago if it wasn't fake, or at least would have gotten caught in the crossfire of one of the swings. When the Klan got to fighting on the Geraldo show, Geraldo himself got a broken nose. I'd love to see Jerry get a broken ass.

I spent my mid-teens to mid-twenties in the '90s. Aside from missing my youth (relatively speaking), I don't miss the decade that much. Those were my "Prepare For College/Graduate From College/Now Hurry Up And Get A Job To Payoff Those Damn Student Loans" years. smile
