Do you like talk shows? If you do, which ones do you watch?
I love to watch Ellen. I think she's hilarious and her show never bores me. I will sometimes watch Oprah, but if it is something that I'm not too interested in I will watch Jerry Springer, which is right out ridiculous at times. Then there's Maury. Gotta love Maury with his 'who's the daddy'shows.

I used to enjoy talk shows when I was younger but they all end up to be the same thing and I got bored of them all . Jerry Springer was always a laugh but really has to make you wonder if there really are all these crazies in the world that are willing to get up there and tell the world about their lives so openly and without any humilitation at all . I did enjoy Maury for a little while as he is friends with Sylvia Brown and I always enjoyed them episodes . Oprah was one I watched for a bit but then she changed her style of the show and I didn't find it as interesting .
I know longer watch them as they are all about the same thing all the time and once you have seen one , you genrally have seen them all .

Oh yeah, a lot of them are very similar. Oprah and Tyra Banks are similar. Jerry is just off the wall, Maury does a lot of paternity tests now. As for Jerry, I am wondering now about the guests because I saw a couple on Maury one day and about a week later saw the same couple on Jerry about the same issue. They supposedly resolved it on Maury, but yet they were on Jerry fighting about it. Hmmm

My fav is Ellen for sure. No matter what horrible stuff goes on in the world you know you can tune in to her show and have a much needed laugh. Also, I like Dr. Phil.

I work from home and television is my co-worker (so to speak) so it always on. I love to watch Ellen, I used to watch the news but when I found she was on at the same time I would rather watch her since her so are so light hearted that it is always a good time. I do watch Dr. Phil and Oprah everyday, not a true fan of Oprah but I am of Dr. Phil, just then come on back to back so hard not to watch them both. Maury is great to watch for a good laugh, I mean some of the women on there are going 11 and as many as 18 men tested to see who their baby's father is, let's get real, I need that laugh sometimes. I used to be a huge Jerry Springer fan, watched it everyday, it got kind of boring so now I am watch reruns of my old soap operas on the Soap Channel. I used to also watch the court shows, for a little light entertainment but then again it got boring too ...

Yeah, the Ellen show is a ton of fun and Oprah can be educational. I used to watch Dr. Phil when it was in the same time slot as Ellen, but when it moved I lost touch with it.
Maury does give a good laugh and there are times it makes you want to cry because you get these men who want nothing more in the world but to be the baby's dad. :)

Sure...
I always used to watch them because I was studying how people acted and I normally guessed if they was liars and why indeed they came onto the show.
Some of the earlier jerry shows had some who was terrible fakers.
Especially the man and wife who claimed her husband was a cheat yet she loved him so much to never get mad or slap him and he shown no interest in anyone else on the show. (even when around pretty girls) lol
Kudos,

I used to watch him quite a bit, but I've lost touch with it. He's a pretty funny guy. I heard he'll be taking over the Tonight Show when Leno retires.

I like Maury and also the Steve Wilco show. Do not care for Ellen or Jerry Springer, the later is a bit too way out for me and I do not like talk shows that are given to certain celebrities because of their s*xual orientation first and later their ability to win an audience. I do sometimes watch Dr. Phil because he gives good advice and I watch Rachel, but not Oprah that much. The best one I love is Maury and the Daddy shows. I wonder if the reason the girls cannot find their daddies is either because they were wearing blindfolds or that even those of to those of their own ethnic group they cannot tell them apart.

I don't really fancy talk shows myself. I rather go for drama series. You know, those with plot and action. ^^
