JERRY SPRINGER

RATING:* * * * * * * * * *

Jerry Springer is a talk show that started in the early 1990's.geared at teen and adult audiences who are not easly offended.It is my favorite show on TV. Some people would argue that this show is trash and should be taken off the air. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you do't like it, don't watch it. It is very different from most other talk shows and in my opinion much better. It has very bizzare guests and strange topics. Some of the topics include: transexuals, the KKK, love triangles, stealing mates, hookers, pimps, families in crisis, much older partners, cross-dressers, cheating, gangs, breaking up relationships, secret lovers, strippers, bacholor and bacholorette parties, abusive relationships, porn stars, and many other crazy topics. And I really enjoy watching it cause it always makes me laugh. It is really funny to think that people would expose their lives to the whole world. I also like the show because they hardly ever have have psycologists on. And the fights are amazing! The guests practically kill eachother on stage! It is so hilarious. If you ever want to watch an entertaining show watch Jerry Springer.I would love to be part of the studio audience in Toronto, but I can't sinse I don't live there.One day I hope to take a trip to Chicago and see it.If you live in Chicago go see it! If you live in Toronto or the surrounding area it comes on CFMT at 11:00am from Monday to Friday.It used to come on CFMT at 10:00pm before but unfortunately it doesn't anymore so I can't watch it as often.In 1996 is watched it almost every night, I very rarely missed it.Once again if you live in Toronto or the surrounding area it comes onCFMT at 11:00am from Monday to Friday! If you don't live in the Toronto area check your listings and watch the show!

ROSIE O'DONNELL

RATING:* Rosie O'Donnel is a talk show that started last year.It is appropriate for audiences of all ages.It is my least favorite talk show. I do not find it entertaining or funny and the guests are quite boring.She has celebirty guests like Hanson and other crappy bands. And sometimes there are actors and actresses on the show but hardly ever any good ones. Even if there was a good actor on, I don't think I would watch because her jokes really annoy me.I think this show is a waste of time and money and I don't understand how it is so popular.Of course she is a very nice person, but that has nothing to do with her show. She is always winning awards for her show and I don't think she deserves them. I think this show really sucks and I do not recommend it.

MONTELL WILLIAMS

RATING:* * * * * * * *

Montel Williams is good talk show. I'm not exactly sure when it started but it has been on for a few years now. His show covers a varity of different topics. Some include: family reunions, rape, murder, gangs, teen pregnancy, adoption, make overs,obessity, bullies,family reunions, big age differences in relationships and many other topics.The topics are usually good but there have been times when I wasn't interested in the topic. The guests are not always bizzare sometimes they are pretty normal with a unique story to tell. I have never seen any big fist fights on the show but like on most talk shows, there is some arguing. And what would a talk show be without arguing? I think it's good that Montel gets really involved in the show and always says his opinion.Sometimes there are psychologists on the show but other times there's not. I really don't see the need to have psychologists on the shows because 5 minutes of advice on national TV is not going to be of much help.I think it would be better if the psychologists helped the guests after the show.Overall, i think Montel Williams is a very good show. If you live in the New York area you might want to check it out!

SALLY JESSE RAPHEL

RATING:* * * * * * Sally is a pretty good talk show that has been on for many years. I believe it has been on for about 8 years. The topics are sometimes pretty good. There are so many different topics and guests on her show.They are usually pretty ordinary, they just have unique stories to tell. She has covered topics Personally, Sally annoys me. When she has teen guests on who don't respect their parents or anyone she says to them "I don't allow disrespect to be shown to me, so while you are on my show you are to respect me young lady". If the girl doesn't respect anyone why should she respect Sally? She is really old fashioned and always says stuff like "respect your elders". And I just don't agree with that. What if your elders disrespect you?Should you still respect them?I don't think so.I really don't like Sally, I don't think she is a good talk show host. However, I think her show usually covers some pretty interesting topics. So watch it and see for yourself!

JENNY JONES

RATING:* * * * * * * * *

Jenny Jones is a great talk show!It has been on for over 5 years (I think).I believe it takes place in taped in California, but I could be wrong.It is generally geared towards teen and adult audiences.It is one of my favorite talk shows. It covers a wide varity of topics. Some of these topics include teen pregnancy, love triangles, strippers, hookers, pimps, family reunions, fueding families, threesomes, makeovers, cheating, etc. It's basically the same type of show as Jerry Springer except there are much less fights and less swearing.I think if you like Jerry Springer you would like Jenny Jones.Check your TV listings to see what time it comes on in your city.

OPERA WINFREY

RATING:* * *

Opera Winfrey is probably one of the most well known talk shows. It started about 10 years ago. It is not one of my favorite talk shows, but it has always been a very big success. It is generally geared towards an older audience like parents and grandparents etc.It disscusses things of interest to older people and sometimes has celebrity guests. I wouldn't recommend it to teens but I guess I would recommend it to older adults.It comes on channel 8 at 4:00pm from Monday to Friday in the Toronto area.

CAMILLA SCOTT

RATING:* * * * * * * *

Camilla Scott is a fairly new talk show. It is now in it's 3rd season. It if filmed in Toronto, which I like because I may have the opportunity to see it one day!I can't really specify a general age group it is geared towards because it really depends on the topic being discussed. I think it is a good talk show because it is in the middle. By that i mean it is not contravircial and offensive to some but at the same time it is not a Rosie O'Donnel type show. It has covered a lot of topics which would be of interst to many people.Some of these topics include: pets, makeovers, dating, break-ups, hookers & pimps,friendly contests between friends and families and much more.I would recommend this talk show to people of all ages. It comes on channel 8 at 3:00pm from Monday to Friday.
