    I've tuned into the Povich show, sporadically, for 6-7 years. Between Povich and Springer, I've not been able toconjure upa sufficient description of their deviate styles. They Both perpetuate the worst in our society, and while they disguise their joy in bringing the worst in people to bear, they clearly revel in the harm they have done to our social health. The networks who foster this kind of exposure, are culpable and equally deviate. Those audience members, who participate in these repulsive formats, also have adepraved intent. Ratings and revenue, will always run the engines of television...but at what cost? I found my daughter watching Povich this morning, and gave her ears full on the consequences of indulging this social parasite. He, and those like him, are evolutionary aberrations. Those who partake of this programming, are the residue thereof.moreless

    Oh my God. This show makes me generally fearful for the future of western civilisation. The guests (combatants)on the Maury Povich Show are pathetic beyond reason...pathetic beyond words. And dear sweet merciful God in heaven...it's the future of CHILDEREN these low rent animals are arguing over. The offspring of these...creatures don't have a chance in hell of making it once they're grown, except maybe the occasional guest appearance on an episode of Cops...or maybe one or two of them may make the big time and wind up on John Walsh's hit parade on Americas Most wanted. And people watch this rot...they eat it up!! What's wrong with us all that garbage like this goes on year after year in the name of entertainment. Maury, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. I mean it.moreless

  • Maury, who once said he'd never be like Jerry Springer, has found his niche. He's even worse. How many women can you do DNA tests for?

    Got nothing better to do? Then Maury is the guy to watch. Rarely is the show worth watching. How many times can you do DNA tests for a woman before you realize that you'd have to test the whole state before you'd find the father? Gets old quick. You soon find yourself not even caring for the "victims" on his show. There's just one too many "victims" we're supposed to think have nightmares for lives. Instead of airing their dirty laundry, how about just dealing with the problem like normal people. Even Doctor Evil went to Jerry instead of Maury.moreless

    I love the show and I've been watching it for a long long time. My favorite shows are the Maury kids, the DNA testing and the man or woman shows. I love the show so much that I'm trying to get my son on the maury kids because he loves to dance. So be on the lookout for my son bcause he will be on the next maury kids hopefully. I love maury and all that he do. He is really a blessing to those people who have no one eles to turn to keep doing what you are doing maury and I love you.moreless

    Theres no two ways about it, I dont like Maruy Povich. Im not a big fan of chat shows as it is, I think most are nothing short of a freak show, that deliberatly expliots dumb and desperate people. But its the persona of the host that saves it. Springer was detached, Sally was constructive, Trisha is too, Kyle is shocking and the person going and can be in doubt to what will happen, but with Maury it just feels more sinister.

    This is a man that comes over as caring and considerate, but depending on the victim, his body language seems to suggest he also looks down at people in a mocking way. He takes the most tragic and the most sensitive and treats them as a joy ride, thinking a therapy session afterwards or a trip to Disneyland justifies it. He should change his attiude or choice of topics. I feel bad enough when I laugh at people in the situations you find them on on these shows, but I can;t sit the and doing knowing the host is doing everything he can to make things look worse and encourage the people to make fools out of themselevs, in such an apparant manner.

    Worst of all was the hippocracy of the Dame Edna Situation, which typifies mike dislike for the guy: Here is Maury getting anyone and everyone to bear thier private lives to the public, and his reaction when Humpries lets slip (deliberate of course) parts of Maurys private life! Maury was subsequently furious and had the episode pulled from TV. Weather or not Humphries was right to do this or not, its says very little that Maury pulls it out of his guests, but he cant take the same.

    Not impressed at all.moreless
