Jerry Springer: Too Hot for TV!

Obviously this is intended to be pure trash but even pure trash can be done well if you have the sort of money Springer has. This is just not worth watching. I'm glad I only rented this movie and didn't buy it. If you have seen the ads on TV, you've seen this movie. One of the security guards is a real cutie!!

In 2003, TV guide voted the Jerry Springer show the worst show in TV history, beating other disasters like barney the dinosaur, my mother the car, and even hogan's heroes (Whoever put hogan on there is a real jerk, that show was funny) and one has to ask the question - Where does Jerry find these people and just how real is the show anyways? Because some of the guests go really crazy. So crazy, that even the TV networks don't let it on air...until 1998, you could finally own uncensored footage of jerry's guests getting into violent fights, or maybe just showing off their bare breasts in front of the camera.

The whole video is capped off with "Jerry's Final Thought" where he discusses his take on the whole situation. He has a thoughtful idea for the end of this video, discussing censorship in north America.

If you have an hour, and this is at your local thrift shop, check it out. just make sure you send the kids to bed first, unless you really don't mind if they see what women looked like in the 1990's.

7/10

I love Springer's show - it's a really great show to watch from your bed before you go to sleep. I love it how he keeps coming up with these people... there must be like a zillion trailer parks in the USA... it always cracks me up. But watching this was really boring... without the 'stories' behind the fights there's no fun in watching at all. The end with 10 minutes of bare-breasted women only intersted me so and so... that should say it all... In short, if you're a Springer fan, be sure to catch his show on your local networks, but leave this title alone... 2/10.

This is an American response to Juvenal for times approaching the end of the American Empire. Replete with predictable fights, estranged relationships, plots that beggar the ability of an Aristophanes, and enough curses to make the screen turn blue. Indeed, it will serve as a capsule for future generations to understand the collapse of its society and morality. Springer serves to dish up the bread and circuses that Romans were addicted to; much like modern-day lotophagi, we simply sit stupefied in front of the screen watching one incomprehensible scene after another in a monotonous refrain. That there is no background information but solely fight after expletive-driven fight is a re-enactment of La Dolce Vita, with Springer the (unwitting?) Mastrionni at the end of his productive career. A shocking indictment of America today. http://lairdkeir.spaces.live.com
