Sally Jessy Raphael

My mother has been watching this show since I was only five years old. They have people come on the show and fight. Just like Jerry Springer. They have people like instructors and recruits from Boot Camp. Nick is right. This show is annoying. Plus they have pregnant women come on the show. My father watches this show too.

The best daytime talk show ever on television. And Sally's best guest ever was con man Steve Comisar (aka Brett Champion) who not only conned the entire studio audience but he also got into huge fight with one of the other guests. After Comisar took all the audience members credit cards Sally announced she was running away with the Comisar. Now those were the days of exiting daytime television! Come back Sally! Now would be the perfect time for a newly revamped Sally show! There's literally nobody else on daytime television as good as Sally Jessy Raphael. She is funny, witty, and who doesn't love the trademark red glasses!

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.

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.

The main appeal of this dreck is that Sally herself, in her sixties, takes on troubled teens (exclusively females) by pretending to stand up and take their fits of adolescent anger. While a nice trick, it doesn't stand up to reality: Sally could act as 'powerful' as she wanted while her two bouncers sit in the audience, ready to bound at the teen if the teen actually knocked her false teeth out.

And that is the show. A lot of yelling and fake threats and men in fatigues screaming at teens and claiming it 'cures' them. And lording over it all is a former welfare mother who claims to be at the top of her own crap factory.

Watch only if you want to see how badly a "Springer" ripoff is when it pretends to have a moral center. Sadly that a MST3K clone hasn't found the comedic potential in these wastes of time and effort.
