Where do they get these guests from?

"My second aunts, daughters, niece is cheating with my man."

I mean seriously the milk the same things over and over.

1. Lie detectors (did/did not cheat)
2. Paternity tests (Are you the father)
3. Wild teens (boot camp/jail)
4. Love triangles.


There are more but I wanted to keep this thing in the "G" range.
Anyhow I watch them to laugh at these people, y tu?

I must admit I'll give em about 5 minutes when flipping through. That's about all I can stand.

That's enough though, It's like reading the covers of tabloids at the supermarket. Read the headline and you know what the whole story's about.

Also, every now and then they show their soft side and have a makeover day. I bet that really ticks off the audience members who were prepared to tell someone off.

Sally *ALWAYS* has "Send My Wild Teen to Bootcamp" episodes on. The best part is, she has these types of episodes on SO often, you'd think the kids would be smart enough not to go. I mean, you KNOW if you're gonna be on the show that day, you're going to bootcamp! Duh! Stop sticking them in bootcamp and start sending them to special ed.
Also, as for the "Love Triangle" topic, I saw a Springer episode a while ago that put an interesting spin on this. The wife was cheating with a man with NO...LOWER...BODY!!! I mean it! I don't just mean no legs...NO...LOWER...BODY. Absolutely nothing at all from the waist down. I can only imagine his appeal has to be involved with his tongue somehow. And I don't even wanna think about how he uses the bathroom. *shudders* Not that I have ANYTHING against amputees. It's very sad and unfortunate when a person has to have a part of themselves removed (even though I often hear people say they don't want pity...I can't help it! I feel bad!). But still, I couldn't watch this episode for very long (not that I watch them that often....WELL, I DON'T!). Just very disturbing.

AND THEIR NAMES ALL END WITH THE SAME SOUND.

Maury, Sallly, Ricki, Jerry, Jenny...

Is something wrong here? I sense a conspiracy.

I can't bear to bring myself to watch any of these, not even for a moment. I was never a Donahue fan, but at least his show had some class to it. Today, it's just so down the drain. That and these new "reality" shows that are on. I like to turn on TV to escape from a crappy day, not to watch other people complain about their crappy lives!

He always ticked me off cause his show came on right after the toons were over on Saturday morning. We still got just as many toons, it's just that his show signaled they were over and I had to find something else to.

I complain a lot and am not totally happy with the state of toons on TV today, but we really had it a lot worse back then. Sat a.m. was the only time toons were shown period. And we had to walk five miles in the snow uphill both ways in order to even see them! I tell ya, kids today just don't know how good they have it.
