"While I'm willing to admit that the program has a prurient appeal, the attraction wears thin quickly. The 'guests' are more like bad actors than real people, making The Jerry Springer Show seem like the WWF of talk shows." - James Berardinelli, film critic
Like Berardinelli, I must confess finding a certain creepy, prurient appeal in The Jerry Springer Show. After all, where else would you find a drunken monopede dwarf confessing his love for lederhosen or be able to watch a rejected striptease artiste begging her ex-boyfriend, a cross-dressing truck driver, to take her back?
