The thing I love most about talk shows...

[RastaPope]

Are the Paternity Tests. Skanky women, skanky men. Who the daddy? These women often have a half dozen possible fathers. Which means they had sex with at least a half dozen men in the same week or so. And then when none of the men is the father, the woman starts screaming and bawling her eyes out.


Comedy gold.


Pure comedy gold.

I saw an episode of Maury Povich about 3 weeks ago..and this woman was on there for her third time, she had i think like 8 or 9 guys on there total..and not a one of them, was the daddy of her child, and like you said, she was boohoo-hooin them big ass crocodile tears too..it was funny..like you said "comedy gold".

The women totally freak out, too! I feel sorry for their children. What total wackos.

They sell T-shirts at Super Wal-Mart that have the words "talk show material" emblazoned across the chest. So what exactly is Wal-Mart trying to say about their customers? (I know exactly what they're trying to say. Just go to Wal-Mart at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and you'll know, too.)

And why is it...

That when EVERY one of those guys fails a lie detector test miserably, they act surprised and claim that they're still innocent.

Why the fuck are there people stupid enough to agree to be on those shows in the first place?

Remember when talk shows still maintained some semblence of trying to work out issues and help people, or solve problems, rather than exploiting them for the sake of sick humor?

Now they have it down to a science. Jenny "I used to be ugly but now I'm all that!" Jones and Maury "Who's the daddy of this problem child you're sending off to teen boot camp for me" Povich, or Jerry "Steve, don't let 'em hit each other anymore" Springer are all so predictable.

They fail to amuse me anymore, along with anything labeled "Extreme!" or "Reality" I'll be watching Miami Vice and Dukes of Hazzard reruns instead.

Dukes of Hazzard is awesome, man.


Not quite as much as The Bandit, though. Gotta love the Bandit.

Bo, Luke and Daisy...

Would make great talk show material, I'm sure.

The thing I love most about talk shows... is that I don't have to watch the damn things. My TV changes channels. It even turns off.

During his Later Years, Elvis...

...Used to shoot out TVs if he was annoyed by something he saw on them, according to one of the Memphis Mafia members.

On an episode of Miami Vice, Phil Collins was playing a scam artist / faith healer. At the end of the show, Sonny, who see's Phil's character on TV performing "Miracles" again, grabs his gun and shoots out the TV set, and says "This one's for you, Elvis"

Coincedentaly, His pet alligator on that show was named Elvis, too.

But yes, sch00lteacher, I'd have to agree that changing the channel or turning off the TV would be a more cost-effective way of dealing with the problem than shooting it, if a bit less satisfying.

I get the feeling a lot of the people on those talk shows are acting. I only watch when Jerry has the big boob women in lingerie on.
