Jerry Springer: Kämpfe, Kamera, Action

Really interesting and wild to discover it's was all actually true. Definitely needed a part three and ended on a weird note. It would have been great to hear from more former guests and understand the long-term impacts the show had on their lives.

Despicable that none of the producers provided any aftercare to the guests or even did simple welfare checks on the guests after the show.

Sad to see how much Jerry sold himself out and sad to see what a lack of accountability Richard takes for it all.

I wonder what the world of television would look like today had the Jerry Springer show never happened.

A fascinating look behind the scenes at The Jerry Springer show, a show that was pretty revolutionary, one that changed the genre forever.

This is a truly interesting watch, only two episodes long, so it's pacy, interesting and shocking, you'll want to watch it all in one go. It'll bring back memories, including the man and the Shetland pony, a reminder of just how far society has fallen (off a cliff.) Just remember the size of the audience the show got at its peak.

Most of us would have known that Jerry was just thr face of the show, this takes a look at the people behind the scenes, including the fascinating presenter Richard Dominick, who set the agenda, a man who clearly knew what he wanted, and achieved his aims.

I was surprised to see that the show ran until 2018, like many I lost interest some while back, initially it was edgy, it was risqué, it was something you'd not want to watch with your parents, after a while it became stale.

It's amazing to think it avoided cancellation, the infamous murder, can you imagine that in today's climate, a death did for The Jeremy Kyle show here in The UK, a show undoubtedly inspired by Jerry Springer.

It's very interesting, worth your time.

8/10.

The documentary series "Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action" offers a captivating plunge into the inner workings of a show that left a significant mark on the American television landscape of the 90s and 2000s. One of the main strengths of this program lies in its ability to take us behind the studio doors, providing privileged access to the internal dynamics and mechanisms of this scandal-generating machine.

The testimonies scattered throughout the series are often damning, offering an unvarnished look at how the show was conceived and produced. We discover a reality where boundaries were constantly pushed in the name of ratings.

However, a slight reservation arises regarding the sometimes sugarcoated statements from former production members. While their memories shed interesting light, one can sense a certain reluctance to fully acknowledge the show's most controversial aspects.

Nevertheless, the series successfully highlights a segment of our society, albeit marginal but very real, where conflicts and personal dramas were exposed without filter. The show then appears as a modern-day gladiatorial arena, where individuals were thrown to the public.

The words of the main producer, quoted in the series ("if I could kill on TV, I would"), are particularly chilling. They brutally illustrate a relentless pursuit of ratings, where the well-being of participants and viewers seemed secondary.

In conclusion, this show is an informative and unsettling documentary. While it sometimes suffers from a certain self-censorship from its subjects, it remains a fascinating insight into a controversial show and the potential excesses of spectacle television. It raises important questions about media ethics and our own fascination with the sensational.

I may have watched Jerry Springer from time to time, if nothing else was on, or simply because it was in the background. It seemed ridiculous, but Jerry always seemed likeable and endearing to me. People who want to blame this show for the breakdown of society surely realize that the show didn't create these disturbing situations and these outlandish individuals, right? Do you want the show to disappear? Then stop watching!

The sad reality is that the Jerry Springer show was probably the first to showcase all that is wrong with the "best country in the world". There is a huge divide between the learned and the ignorant, the refined and the base, the intelligent and the stupid.

Pretty good doc.

The producers are mentally ill, and I can't even fathom the audacity of them coming out now and boasting about their product, knowing they contributed to the death of a woman and who knows how many others they exploited. We don't even know the mental and psychological state of those other people who were used. Their actions are a blatant disregard for human life and dignity, and they should be held accountable for the consequences of their selfish and unethical decisions. Everyone who appeared on the program should now face prosecution, as their participation enabled this injustice. It's imperative to bring them to justice and prevent further harm.
