The Jerry Springer Show is HORRIBLE. I've seen a couple of episodes only because I find it to be mildly entertaining and I just laugh at how scripted and stupid the show really is. The guests on the show are nothing but terrible role models. There is so much fighting and violence, and it is almost encouraged by the audience. Chairs are thrown, hair is being pulled, etc. The stories, topics and discussions on the show are mature and controversial. There is talk about homosexuality, infidelity, incest, racism, abuse, addictions, and fetishes. The cursing, the insults and the swearing that goes on is repulsive and you can barely hear or understand what the people are saying (all you hear is "bleeping" noises). And to top it all off, there is so much nudity, although it is obviously censored. Strippers are often brought on the show and audience members are seen flashing their breasts to get "Jerry Beads." Nothing kid friendly about that. For your sake, and for your child's sake, PLEASE stay away from this show. Pure garbage.
