Maury Povich Daytime talk show

[betts4]

Staying home sick today was okay till I sat with my warm tea and laptop and turned on the TV.

Maury Povich is there with some guys (16 yr old guys) that are talking about how their women (16 yr old girls) are 'their women' and must take the verbal and physical abuse and the rules that these guys set. Don't shower till I come home or I know you been cheatin, don't get out of bed before me in the morning, don't look at other men when we are in the car, don't look in the mirror - you are my b*tch it don't matter what you look like anymore.

I am getting sick.

How much of all this is just show and how much is truth? I could tell easier on Jerry Springer. Maury sounds so sincere about it all. I can only hope that someone beats the crap out of these boys.

I am going to see what is on some other channels.

[sshedlock]

I think the people are probably real and not actors, although you can tell A LOT of coaching goes on.

[betts4]

They seperated the couples, sent them off for some 1 day rehab...haha...and then asked 'after this, which couples broke up'. I hope all of them but we will see.

Yeah, I am bored, sick at home and tired of doing nothing.

[MickeS]

I have this show on sometimes, and I have to tell you, the whole thing often looks like theater.
On an unrelated side note, I never knew there were so many "Judge <name>" shows on during the day.

[YCantAngieRead]

I watch a LOT of total and utter crap, particularly during the day, but even I have a hard time watching Maury (and don't even try very often.)

[ONAFan]

I have an auto-record wishlist for "Maury" and "paternity". After the thirteenth paternity test, it does get funny.

"It can't be anybody else Maury. It's got to be him."

Plus, they seem to polish the hell out of the back stage area, so when the results inevitably come back negative, the "baby mama" takes a spill.

[Sir_Q]

You probably would not believe how many women choose to be in these types or relationships. Google "Total Power Exchange" relationships

[sieglinde]

Barf!!! I get bored if I have to stay home. Lets pretend I have nothing recorded on my Tivo and my DVD player is busted and the internet is not working. and someone stole my Wii. (and I suddenly became unable to read) I would watch MSNBC or some other news show all day long.

[YCantAngieRead]

Yikes. That sounds more depressing than Maury.

I enjoy about half the court shows on during the day, so that's generally what I have on in the background while I'm doing other stuff.

[gossamer88]

The paternity shows are a huge guilty pleasure of mine. Only you and my wife know.

Two women were on the show because their men ask for tests. Both women were shocked that they were asked to be on Maury. Both woman had me utterly convinced and that their men were a-holes for even denying their kid. Both men were NOT the father!!

I don't know why, but this particular episode so disturbed me I had to resurrect this thread.

I can only imagine, before DNA, how many men, unbeknownst to them, have raised kids that are not theirs. So, so, sad...

[RGM1138]

Wow. This would be my definition of torture, someone making me watch 99% of daytime TV.

[tiassa]

I watch TVG (http://www.tvg.com/) during the day, if I'm home

Mine is keyword "Paternity" + actor "povich, maury" :)

Oh dude. I get such a kick out of this ARWL. There was a woman on the other day that had been on the show 2 other times. Her 3rd time was not a charm! Then there was a recap show recently that told about a woman that had been on the show FIVE TIMES lookin' for her baby daddy. All were not the father!

There was also a dude that was so sure he wasn't that kid's father that he spent $100 to have "NOT THE FATHER" shaved onto the back of his head. Guess what? Yup. He's the father!

My favorite so far is a woman that was soooo sure that her son is NOT THE FATHER that she actually said: "I really don't think DeAndre Jr. is part of our faminology." That is now tied for my new favorite word. Right next to "strategery".

This is why I have 5TB of hard drive space dedicated to movies and TV shows. I always have SOMETHING to watch!

[betts4]

I can't believe this has been bumped after so long.

I think I would go out back and watch the birds fly and the flowers bloom. And take a nap or two.

[rifleman69]

People still admit that they watch Maury? I think he and Springer went out of favor in the later 90's.

[Icanseeyou]

Is this the 'Who be the daddy show' show?

[netringer]

I can stand (mostly) when my TiVo goes to live TV while I'm not at the viewing chair with the remote and I hear another brain-sucking, insult your-intelligence infomercial but Maury is the one show where I want the TiVo TO NEVER, EVER LET A MILLISECOND OF CONTENT ENTER MY HOUSE!

Making it three thumbs down immediately doesn't do it. How about if we have 5 thumbs for TURN THE TELEVISION OFF NOW! The worse if when I push Live TV and the other tuner is on the same channel! ARRGH! It's a good thing I don't a gun near the TV like Elvis did.

This, like with the "Video Professor" is where 3xFF doesn't do it. I want a button on the remote that will cause the guy on the screen INTENSE PAIN!

[YCantAngieRead]

I guess things have changed for me. :o I usually have Maury on in the background when it comes on (although I rarely ever sit and watch it. I'm almost always doing something else in the 11AM hour when it's on. Same thing with Springer.)

So what you're saying is that you don't like the show?

[Kamakzie]

Classic!

[sieglinde]

I usually have CNN or MSNBC going in the background so when I retire, I have Netflix, a ton of CDs from the closing of Hollywood Video and Blockbuster in my town, a Wii, a fairly packed Tivo and the Internet. I can last a long time before I need to watch Maury on TV. (I have a ton of unread books also.)

[bareyb]

My standards are incredibly low and even I can't stomach more than about 30 seconds of Maury. Those peeps MAKE me feel ill even if I was feeling fine. :D

[trainman]

I closed-captioned some episodes of Maury back in 1998. Just imagine how smart I'd be now if that hadn't killed so many of my brain cells.

Would you spell the words correctly, or how they were saying them? :D

[MLR930]

anyone remember when Maury was a quality type show before it because just another Jerry Springer exploit show. It's a shame

How about this thought I just had: those people are fully qualified to vote, much less drive - being allowed to aim a couple of tons of metal at innocent civilians.

[Turtleboy]

The most classic one evah.

I don't have as much of a problem with the shows topics as I do with the incessant beeping of curse words. Are there people in his audience with tourretts syndrome or something. During casual conversation on stage people just curse out in the audience. It's hard to follow whats being talked about. Not that I watch the show or anything, just sayin...

[terpfan1980]

Edited for effect:

It's hard to follow the *beep* whats being talked about, Yo! Not that I *beep*ing watch the show or anything, just *beep*in' sayin...

You mean like that? :p :D

Uh, yeah, the use of the beeping rather sucks, but in the current (well, up until very recently when the FCC dirty-word ban was seriously called into question) environment they really don't have much choice other than to censor the stream of obscenities so they don't get all of the affiliates/broadcasters carrying their content fined.


Me? I admit to loving the trash that is Maury and Jerry Springer. Absolutely un-frackin' believable trash, but still amusing to watch, especially the paternity test attempts on Maury.

You can be sure the show "warm up" consists of various crew members whipping up the crowd to that level of frenzy, language and all.

Remember that Steve Wilkos was one of the muscular headset-wearing "crew" ready to jump onstage at Jerry Springer if they didn't near enough to throwing blows and tossing chairs.
