Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action

I was excited and interested to watch the doc about Jerry Springer because I loved the show and Jerry Springer was a genius and a hero. The first half of the documentary was really good, 9 stars at least and then the second half was poorly done and rating dropped. I don't feel sorry for anyone who went on the show. Nobody was forced to go on there. It was not the responsibility of Jerry to fix people with serious issues. This is no different than what is going on in social media today. The Trump bit thrown in had zero relevance and would have made more sense to mention Family Feud. A man goes on family feud and made a snide remark about his wife and everyone laughed; same man murders his wife after being on the show. Is it family feud fault? Furthermore, people really do act up and do crazy things in real life but when put on camera tend to act differently. So producers were able to get the guests to do exactly what they would do off stage. The ex wife whose husband was abusive and she got away from him and then wanted to see him again and of all things do it in public on Springer.. it's not Jerry Springer show fault. And it happened two years later. I loved the show Jerry hosted called Baggage; it was brilliant. There was so much more that could have and should have been said. Most important takeaway is how much censorship went on then and still goes on today.
