Sally Jessy Raphael

I will admit I am not a huge fan of talk shows. There are one or two exceptions, but overall I find the guests rude and the audience unsympathetic especially on Maury, Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos. Sally Jessy Raphael mayn't be high art or anything, but it was one of the better talk shows for me.

The main reason why this is so is Sally herself, she offered very good advice and was very genuine about what she says, it was these two things that make her likable. Also the audience was much more toned down here, on talk shows like Maury they boo, jeer and swear at someone who's cheated or denied their child but here they didn't prejudge the guests as much. And while there have been some horrible guests, there were also some inspirational ones which was refreshing to see.

Of course Sally Jessy Raphael didn't really cover new ground in terms of what is talked about on the show, but there was more variety than there is on Maury or Jerry Springer, which feels like the same thing over and over. Overall, thanks to a great host this is for me one of the better talk shows and I miss it. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Sally Jessy Raphael show is coming to an end. My afternoons will never be the same again. Sally Jessy Raphael will be missed by all her fans in the United Kingdom where the show is shown twice a day it is that popular. I hope Sally enjoys success where ever the rest of her life takes her.

Sally has been shown on SKY One for as long as I can remember and it will be hard for another show to fill that void.

I really miss this talk show. First off, I must say that it was a pretty good talk show. Also, I haven't seen every episode. However, if you ask me, it was still a good show. I know some of the theme song by heart, too. Even so, it was fun to see people get busted. In addition, I really enjoyed watching wild teenagers get reformed by Sergeant Darrell Julu of the United States Army. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I haven't seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

Zhu didn't see the show at its best. Sally has been on longer than most other talk shows and is sadly being removed from the air now due to the fact that she can't and **won't** stoop to the sideshow tactics used by others in the business. The fact is that when she isn't force to do sensationalist shows, she shows a great deal of heart and tackles major issues. She does great celebrity interviews and has a wonderful sense of honor. I, for one, will truly miss her and wish her luck. Hopefully she will find her way back onto television again in the near future.

In 1999, Sally, invited Manuel Diaz, The Mexican Wolfman to appear on the show, in an episode titled "Odd Odd News." I went along as an interpreter. Sally was a perfect host, especially to Manuel. Where others were afraid to approach him because of his exotic appearance, Sally walked right up to him, and they shared a nice conversation. Manuel, who is now in Mexico, always remembers with fondness, his trip to New York, and meeting Sally Jesse Raphael.
