Jenny Jones

As far as talk shows go, this is probably towards the bottom of the pile, but then I don't think it was developed as a medium for curing the ills of society. Instead, it exploits trash culture and provides some great guilty pleasure fun. The show is so bad that it's obviously meant to be that way.

And it didn't hurt that at least one show per week was devoted to "13 year old girls obsessed with sex".

What this show mainly deals with are sex-obsessed girls, troubled teenagers, kids sent off to boot camp, breast implants and the paternity test. And I think that Jenny Jones is a great host cause I like her sense of humor cause she doesn't seem to get angry as easily as most people and sometimes we get to see former MP Raymond Moses when it comes to naughty children on their way to boot camp.

Her show is a big joke, next to Montell Jordon and Jerry Springer. It all started in the big crush episode in 1995, and the tragic results that happened after. What really gets to me is that she does not express any sorrow over it. She is revealing that she and her show are utter trash. I can't understand that why is this show still on the air for a few more years. This show should have been cancelled and never spoke of again.

If you are reading this review, then you must have enough time on your hands to actually watch this show. Like many talk shows, it's an excuse to laugh at the misfortunes of others. It's a freakshow of many guests who scream for ratings and it provides no knowledge to any problems except an endless parade of cliches from 'experts' who were probably picked off the street.

Listen: you are probably here for a reason. Go outside. Go read a book. Clip your toenails and go outside and see how people act when they're not held underneath a magnifying glass. I suspect that most of the people on this show are being told what to say in return for meager payment. If you want reality, go outside. Save your time and watch something entertaining. This is not.

As for Ms. Jones, I would insult her but since she doesn't have a clue in that bubblehead of hers aside from breast cancer and those cliches, I'll save my venom for a person who has a base grasp of the English vocabulary.

Much like the three-ring-circus that is "The Jerry Springer Show", this was once was a high-quality show that dealt with relevant issues. Nowadays, the show has become shallow and asinine, and its attempts to be "hip" are laughable.

There have been moments recently when they've tried to be topical. They've done a number of shows on out-of-control teens (which has been done better on "Sally", where she lets it be known she won't put up with any bull.) This should've been an interesting hour of television, but it was derailed largely because it wound up going nowhere. Why they rely on b.s. pop psychology is beyond me; send them straight to boot camp and work them over; no forensic analysis is going to help anything. I'm almost certain much of this is due to Jones herself: she comes across as too cheerful and sunny a personality to tackle the hard issues. She'd be best to leave those to Montel and Sally Jesse.

When they're not trying to be topical, they do what they best: shows filled to the brim with T&A (without these, I imagine they'd lose half the viewing audience.) Whether it's porn stars, strippers, or former high school outcasts, they successfully bring more cleavage than expected in the "family viewing hour." Of course, it doesn't help that many of the ladies are either airheads or superficial bimbos without class (or, worst case scenario, both.)

I'm going to go out on a limb and postulate that show has been downhill since the now infamous 1995 incident where a guest on the show gunned down a male acquaintance who had admitted to having a crush on him. Suffice it to say that the incident was tragic, but when the facts came out, it signaled the depths of the irresponsibility of those who worked behind-the-scenes.
