    paternity test hide show

    Dear Maury;

    i am the mother of an 13 year old semi-autistic ADDH Deaf son/he is the best thing that has ever happened to me and he is a wonderful child. I wish you could meet him. I need you to test his father and my son...I am 100% sure that who I think is his father is really his father, my son, despite of his incapacities is requesting to meet his father and I think I owe him (my son) that. Please call me I would like to be on your show, 786-25-1818. I don't sllep at night, and my son continously keeps asking for his father, I have his father's contact information but does not respond to me...I cannot beieve how a man can be so cold knowing that he has a son and does not care about him. When I got pregnant I contacted the father and the only thing he dd was offer me money to get an abortion, then he showed up once took his son (my son) out to Chucky Cheese and just brought him back. I do need his child support money, but that is not my #1 priority at this time, I need my son to meet his dad and know that me as his mom has and is trying to give him that blessing...Maury, I don't kno what to do, please help me, I do not sleep thinking that who knows I can die tomorrow and not have given my son the chance to meet his dad..I have tried, but apparently it's not enough. I would like to go on your show and get paternity test done on both of them. Thank you,
    nancy

    Just another shallow American trying to produce a crappy, tabloid show. hide show

    He has succeeded on that level. LMAO. Borrowing people like Jerry Springer has really downgraded the respect level for Maury Povich. Then again this is the same guy whose married to Connie Chung and was the host for a "Current Affair", meaning tabloid trash. The whole paternity test thing has gotten ridiculous even for Maury. How he could keep producing this trash is beyond me. Then again the 90's and the new millenium have ushered in a new era of trash tabloid tv from the likes of Montel Williams to Richard Bay, to Jennie Jones and going back to the 80's Sally Jesse Raphael. Maury is trash people who watch this stuff should really do better things with their time.

    The man... with a rip-off kind of plan hide show

    Maury Povich is a sucess in his own show but as I updated my review on the show , I decided to not that much and haven't watched it this year and alot of shows that are coming out are taking over which some are sucessful even for shows that are giving away my taste. He is another Opera which looks like a clone by his show , a still great star makes it better depending on the score someone or I would give. A 7.8 out of 10 is the trick.

    I think Maury's Show has change a lot, it is evolving with new subjects. hide show

    I find his show to be a little more compasionate then most talk shows. I like the fact that he's dealing with children a little more than the baby mama drama. These woman are going to make things harder on their children in the long run. Life is very complexed and there are far to many other subjects where like these children after they've gotten old and see these shows how messed up they will be. There are so many people in need who have a real story to tell and he is now seeking them out and I'd just like to say Thank You!!!
