Chat Shows

3 Apr 2007

Sitting here watching a well know chat show on ITV..
I cant help thinking that the people who go on these shows must be so desperate for help its scary because I really couldnt bring myself to make my problems known to the country :shock:
Some of the people go on there to find a long lost relative/parent which I can understand but some of them well....
What do you think....?
Could you go on national daytime television to sort out personal problems.....?

No way!
Although I did go through a phase of watching Jerry Springer and enjoying it. redface

I really don't mean this to sound derogatory but I am sometimes left wondering if people have any shame when they hurl abuse at their own friends/lovers/family members on national TV.

I know the one you are talking about because I have a secret fancying for the presenter.. silly

hwoar:
I'm not really a fan of these chat shows but this one in particular is quite amusing, it's real life and not staged for the public, the presenter really voices his opinion and has been known to be really moved by things that upset him also.
Other than this one I don't watch any others and absolutely no chance could I sit in front of millions and talk about my private life!

Each to their own but I can't stand the guy. I find him the most patronising and arrogant twat on TV! lol

The early morning chat show i think your talking about really gets on my nerves lately. Its always about "whos the father". Why do all these young girls not know who the father of their baby is?
A girl i know went on this show, to ask her boyfriend was he cheating on her and how come she contracted a sexually transmitted disease :shock: :doh:
To me thats just wrong, why air your dirty laundry in public dunno

I do like the ones where they find lost relatives though and when they bring on people who have turned their lives around.
louise xx

Sorry for changing the subject slightly but has anyone seen Jerry Springer the musical dunno

As for the original question. These programs have there place, in so much as finding relatives or helping kids get help for problems, bullying or eating disorders. Other than that, they are bollox :lol2:

In my early 20's I used to love the American shows - especially Jerry Springer (Go Jerry! lol

) & Rikki Lake (:inlove smile

but have never been a fan of the holier than thou I've been there and done that oh really dear I dont fookin think you have somehow evil

British ones..
but I cant stand that arrogant twat who's on in a morning (:kick:) as I work with a young woman who's mother (in her infinate wisdom rolleyes

) applied to the show and got on it, and 'we' begged and pleaded with the girl not to do it..tried to stop it...but inevitably couldnt ....the mother came out looking and smelling of roses after airing all her daughters dirty laundry in public and it was very obvious (to us in the know) that it was ohhhh so one sided, didnt paint an accurate picture at all, and has effectively lead to this girl being the laughing stock of her village and attempting suicide :sad: - and this from a show where she was promised counselling and support, but instead was belittled, made her cry on national TV and the mother is a local hero 'because of all she's had to put up with' mad

The counselling never did materialise - and all in the name of daytime 'entertainement'. Chat shows should be fookin banned as far as I'm concerned and Mr Kyle wants a personal biatch slap from me - along with a 2 page letter of formal complaint and a professional report about just how one sided the portrayal of this particular family really was. :x
maybe this should have gone in the steam room :lol:

You are very right, he is partonising but I don't fancy his personality - it's his lips... there's something about his lips. I'm a lip, eyes and bum admirer (of both sexes redface

). :lol:

apart from the question of why on earth would anyone go on these shows unless under threat of immediate extermination, why do so many of them look like they need a wash ,change of clothes and about £20,000 worth of dental work ??

I should have my own chat show :happy:

3 Apr 2007

It really does amaze me the number of people who wish to air their dirty laundry in public.
If you're 17, had a baby and aren't sure which of 5 guys the father is, why on earth would you want the whole country to know about it? dunno

Being in full time (dayshift) employment I don't nomrally get to see these sorts of programs, but while I've been at home the last few weeks I've been facinated by it :shock:
Facinated mostly by the fact that people actually go on there by choice - I'm sure the novelty will wear off in a week or so lol

These chat shows make my teeth itch,and want to peel my skin off.
Why would people want to fight,swear and air there problems to the nation?
I sometimes think some do it as part of the whole 'wanna be famous for absolutely anything' culture.
I also concur with the sentiments of whatsisface being a supersilious(oo get me smile

) egotist.
