My sister watches Tyra.

She's an interesting person, I'll say that, some stuff she says is kind of... weird... but it's better than Dr. Phil (b' ')b

The only time I'll watch Tyra is if it's America's Next Top Model.
I know one of the winners actually! XD I'm not going to say who though :x
Tyra's...a bit eccentric though. Didn't she smell someone at one point? Anywho, I'd just want to be part of Oprah's audience to get some of that free stuff she hands out.
...but it's better than Jerry Springer! XD

I rather like Tyra Banks. Her show is rather interesting to watch, and she's a very fascinating personality. She looks great now, too, ever since she quit modeling she looks really pretty.

Ugh, but Springer... my grandparents used to look after me when I was little, and they'd watch it all the time, and I'd walk in and... it was so inappropriate for such a little kid. I don't even understand how any person could be entertained by anything that happens in that show. It's disgusting.

As for Dr. Phil, I just don't like the way he talks to people. He seems kinda rude at times.

I can honestly say I almost hate Tyra Banks. She is so fake and full of herself that it is disgusting. She's a mediocre model and and crappy talk show host. The only thing she is good at is being annoying and full of herself.

With that said; I don't watch many talk shows, but Jerry Springer is hilarious.

People watch Jerry Springer and Maury Povich for the same reason they watch train wrecks and car accidents.

Nice comparison. Did anyone catch the Jerry Springer movie. I can't remember much of it, but it was completely retarded in a great way.

Springer is entertaining and disgusting at the time. There's something intriguing about human train wrecks. xD Oprah is fine, but I hate Dr. Phil.

I demand my egg beater >O

If you liked the movie, then you'll love the opera.

It goes without saying that there are dysfunctional citizens in every country. It's just that, to the best of my knowledge, there really are no foreign equivalents of Maury or The Jerry Springer Show for them to parade themselves on.

Jerry Springer... heh... I watched that show a few times years and years ago (like when I was.... 10 or so XD) and didn't know what was going on. I'm so glad my parents didn't catch me infront of the TV with that on. XD

Oh, it's very real. Hell, The Jerry Springer Show is probably the ur-example of how reality can be stranger than fiction.

I actually heard they stage some of it. :/ Obviously not the "Jerry Beads" parts, but some of the situations are faked. I wouldn't put money on it though, as I've only heard.

There was one family on "Reality Show Secrets" that staged their Springer appearance. I know that for sure.

I've only seen Jerry Springer being parodied on other shows. XD; Never watched the actual show myself.

I know a lot of it is, that's why I added the baseball thing after that. I'm not THAT completely dense to believe everything he says, he just kind of ruined the entire show for me XD;

Well, yeah. I doubt that so many Americans want to marry their horses. xD

For a sec there I was "WTF? Baseball isn't fake.". XD

A lot of times you can tell what's fake and not on shows. Sometimes the whole "acting" thing is a dead give away.

If anyone says wrestling is fake I will kill them. Kidding. XD

I think all these reality shows are fake. Like Flavor of Love, A shot at love, and the billions of other shows.

*Shot*

Well when you're 10-11 years old it seems pretty real... *Tries to find another excuse to defend why he once thought it was real*.

I don't see I don't see though how older people believe it's real though. Crapiest acting I've ever seen.

^XD;

American Idol fans I HIGHLY suggest you don't read this.
Spoiler:
Then he tried telling me the audition episodes on American Idol were fake. I was like "DAD. SHUT. TF. UP." And he was like "I'm trying to enjoy the show shut up D:<". Then he threw something at me ._.

I think the testosterone is clouding their judgment. My uncle loves watching wrestling. That's basically all he watches, aside from CSI. D: I'd hate to tell him its fake. It'd shatter his existence.

It's kind of interesting when they don't make it crap with their super long promo segments. It's turned into more of a soap opera than wrestling.
