I can't figure that one out either. But as long as they want to act a fool and put all their business on front street, I'll provide them with an audience.
It's entertainment. It's so funny to see these women "I'm not 100%, I'm not 1000% I'm 1,000,000 sure he's the father"
And the sweetest sounding words on tv "You are NOT the father"
I find it hilarious that the ones who act the biggest fools the guy turns out not to be the father. Then they have the nerve to run off stage crying. Like another poster said, they weren't doing all that crying when they were screwing three or four guys in a week.
My mom is addicted to it. I have confidently asserted to her (without any real proof) that it has to be fake. The participants are much smoother than you'd expect for an unscripted program. I think the relative absence of uh's, um's and significant pauses is atypical of the way people talk in real life. It almost has to be rehearsed and acted out by aspiring showbiz people.
Does anyone remember the Richard Bey show from the early 90's? He was pretty funny.
He had this giant wheel he'd strap people onto. I remember that talk show gang...ricki lake (before she lost a lot of weight), maury (he was doing paternity tests back then!). Montel Williams. Jenny Jones. Sally Jesse Raphael (remember her red glasses).
To me, day time talk is a worn out genre. It seems like it has a shelf life of about 3-5 years, but after that, how many more paternity tests can you do? The novelty starts wearing off. Like people throwing chairs on Jerry Springer.
Oprah made a smart move, shifting her show more upscale. She was like all the other ones in the late 80's, early 90's. They were all plus/minus 10-20% within each other. But then she got "special lighting", got a bunch of personalities to share the stage (like nate berkus, to expand her appeal). And the book club, etc.
To me, the maury povich world seems sad after about 3 years. Time to move on. Those paternity testing, baby daddys need lives too.
the majority of the black women on maury's show be crying, running off the stage because they are lazy, and they are just mad because they won't be getting their freeloading asses a child support check. the majority of black women on that show do not wanna work hard for their money. they just wanna get their goldigging a$$es child support so they can buy a new car instead of spending it on the kid for clothes and food.
Does anybody find the Maury show amusing?? I mean look at all these people coming onto the show, embarassing and making fools out of themselves. Isn't that show amazing?
It became a runner up behind Springer in poor taste! There was a paternity test and baby mama drama every day. I haven't seen or thought of it in years. Don't even know if my area carries it anymore.

Is the Maury Povich show for real?
