Ricki Lake

Quality television this ain't, but it's still well worth a watch. Is it real? Who the hell knows! My guess is that most stories are real, but exaggerated. Either way Ricki is a great host. She knows the limits. She can have sassy spicy sexy (and other words beginning with S) shows. And she can also have sweet sentimental tear-jerking shows. She's one cool gal and I'm sure she's changed many peoples lives (for the better that is). Well worth a watch if you've got nothing to do and want to have a little bit of fun which doesn't involve much thinking.

For those of you who don't watch "Ricki Lake" simply because you think it looks corny, you are way too narrow-minded. There are a lot of much worse shows. She looks like such a nice and wonderful person, you have to enjoy. I don't quite know what it is about her, but I love her.

Ricki Lake , is most probably the lighter version of Jerry Springer and they really do have uneasy subject matters...They are always the same.

I dont mind affairs and the like , yet the people who come out and explain their actions are immediately booed and hissed. I just have 1 wish , I would just love to go on the show and tell Ricki what most English people think of the subjects that seem to come out all the time. Id begin with affairs , by explaining that affairs are a plain fact of life , we dont like to be the victim or the wronged partner , but that is how it is. Another is this strange obsession with make-overs...they are boring. A memorable program was this Radio DJ condemning people on welfare and wanting to stop welfare payments , whilst neglecting , that he most probably will personally benefit if those tax-cuts took place. Ricki , comes over as a nice woman , but would she be brave enough to deter from the safe salacious stories to hard-hitting subjects that actually would increase her International audience....I wont hold my breath.

Ricki has gone downhill in her time online.

It was never great television but in recent years it's degenerated to stupidity and smut.

I write this because I'm saddened. I used to like her. I still think she's an interesting personality. Yet she's allowed her show to become infected with the "cancer".

If you like smut and to watch stupid people doing what stupid people do best, you may like it. I find myself seeing too much of stupidity in daily life, personally.

Alas, poor Ricki. I once liked ye...

Well, it is. No interesting story's. Although Springer is bad, it still makes you laugh, where as this show dosen't amuse in any way whatsoever. It's rolled and rolled down the hill since it's first year. And i've seen the guests re-used, too.
