I'm flipping through the channels today, and I come accross this show on one of the spanish channels. Channel 61... Anyway, all they do is fight on the show, it's pretty hilarious because they don't edit out the fights like they do on Jerry now... I don't understand what's going on, but people in the audience keep going on stage to fight the guests, funny stuff... It's still on by the way if anyone in houston's by a tv... I believe the topic is "Mom, I want to be a p*rn star..." I knew my 4 years of highschool spanish would pay off!
I used to think those fights were hilarious. Haven't watched a single episode since they took them off.
No. Springer is one of the stupidest, most pathetic wastes of ....well, everything.....in the history of television.
That's funny. I just saw one of those shows yesterday while I was eating at a taqueria. I thought that it was cool that they didn't edit the fights. That was one of the frustrating things about Springer, that they would edit all of the fights. You knew there were some good ones too. The topic yesterday was Sexo Por Telefono. I think that you don't have to have 4 years of high school spanish to figure that out.
I liked the fights on Springer. Yeah, it is one of the most pathetic shows, but at the same time I always found it to be one of the most entertaining and one of the most cleverly orchestrated ones - it is only as pathetic as the people who are on that show and I guess it's just interesting to watch that freak show and to feel a little bit better about yourself that you are not THAT much of a freak... Jerry always seemed to be making fun of his guests instead of this pseudo-"concerned" stuff on some other shows. I liked that, too.
I can understand that. But the only thing I ever felt was depression: sadness that there was that big a portion of the human race as what was represented by the idiots on the stage - and that they were given TV time to display that idiocy to the biggest audience possible. Also, the way it was 'orchestrated' also was what bothered me. I doubt 70% of that crap was even real, but it was planned out to be the perfect 'freak show'. From the guests to the 'fights' to the picking of the biggest loudmouths in the audience to further spread the stupidity around. The show pretty much oozed patheticness out in every possible way - all the while, Springer sat back and drank in the cash just for shining a spotlight on those morons...
When I was freshmen at UT, nothing beat watching good ole Jerry at Jester lounge, while eating my late night chicken wings...
