Don't compare this to Jerry Springer.

This type of TV was acceptable in the early days of TV. The show was popular as a sign of HOPE for people who needed help. It wasn't sleaze and unfit for family viewing. So, someone's big need was a new washer or money for a dentist. It can't be compared for "shock Jerry TV". Come on now. The show was on the air for about 13 years. That says something for it. The "Heart Line" was the highlight of the show as it meant help was on the way. My husband took pride in his work on "Strike It Rich", just as he did on many other shows he announced. Your comments and comparisons are disgusting. I just wonder what show you were watching. Roberta Paul
