We were brought up in a different era; where those things that were the meat and potatoes of the show, we
were taught they were to be kept private. This saying exemplifies it: Do not air your dirty laundry in public.

Oh absolutely. How can people do that! All their family and neighbours could be watching. It should shame them all. But shame seems a thing in short supply these days!

Let's face it, Springer made his fortune and fame from a trashy show that denigrated poor whites, blacks, and uneducated people. His show encouraged physical altercations between people on the show, at every opportunity.

So, what did Springer gain from this show? The tabloids say that his new worth at the time of his death was $60million. I disagree!!!!!!!!!!!! The net worth of anyone at the time of their death, in terms of dollars, is $0.00000/zero/nada/nothing.

The true net worth is the treasure they saved in heaven. That being said, I liked Jerry, and hope that Jesus grants him the true treasure of eternal life.

I presume nobody pressured those people to appear on his show. If they want to be entertaining to everyone, that is a choice.

So true. My mother was known to say, what will the neighbours think? Of course as children we thought that
a bit ridiculous, because, who cares what the neighbours think? LOL. But shows like that take it to a new level.

And it is possible that in some of those television aired scenarios, there was little other recourse.

The audience is as much to blame for the popularity of such shows.
