    Maury is an idiot who should be doing a circus show with animals-- that is what this amounts to. Though, I should clarify that calling the morons on this show animals is an insult to the animal kingdom.The Only plots of this show include:"I'm a bad little bitch who is 12 years old, and I drink vodka and shoot up heroin with my 21 year old boyfriend drug dealers, and I smack my fat, worthless mom with a broom handle when she tries to stop me.""I'm a generic stereotype of a fat black woman, here to prove that Jamaal is the father of my twin white babies with Asperger's syndrome. He don't want to step up and be a man.""Hi, Maury, I was born with a nut sack on my chin(South Park)."From there, it just devolves into crowds screaming like howling asylum dwellers, crackhead strippers on stage, kids arguing with audience members about who is the bigger whore, fat crying people having spasms in the floor, and Maury pretending(best actor ever, I guess) to be sympathetic, as if someone is actually going to believe or solve this trash in a TV show.Absolutely fake stories, or real stories exploited for 30 years for totally braindead troglodytes eating themselves to death on food stamps in a trailer, ghetto, or cave dwelling.And for God's sake!!!!! These STUPID PATERNITY TEST RESULTS. They try to drag out a segment of 5 mins. into an hour-long show, by making the audience wait to see the results, while looking at pictures of the children and the men in question and repeating the same lines on every show. You can literally tune in to this for a couple minutes one year, and then tune in 2 years later, and the show format and DNA test with people screaming or dancing around haven't changed one bit!!! What kind of degenerate morons even find this entertaining??????????????????

    Want to watch a show that makes your faith in the human race plummet? Look no further than Maury! The biggest issue is the lack of variety in topics. While other talk shows like Dr. Phil and even Steve Wilkos and Jerry Springer have a variety of topics, Maury has 4 standbys: Who's the Daddy shows, abusive boyfriend/husband shows, wild teen girl episodes, and potpourri (Anything that isn't the three I mentioned.) All of these shows are the same, and if you've seen one episode of one topic, you've damn near seen them all. I mentioned Springer earlier, but even though that's trash TV, at least they don't hide that fact. Maury tries to hide this by claiming to help their guests, be it sending teen brats to boot camp or using the tried and not-so-accurate polygraph tests for lie detector episodes. I'd say Maury is exploiting people down on their luck, but they brought it on themselves; Everyone on the show is deplorable, from the ringmaster of this circus himself, Maury, to the guests who came on their free will to be humiliated on live TV and make foreign countries want us dead, to the obnoxious audience who always consist of the lowest common denominator with free tickets that get advertised during the break. This is a trash heap of a show and a prime display of the worst human beings America has to parade over the airwaves. I feel guilty for even watching enough to write this review, but sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. Case and point, watch something else.

    The Maury Povich show is hypocritical in its meaning. While the other shows that air alongside it (Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos) are pretty clear in their intentions Maury's show is different. Basically it is a show that pretends to care when all it does it exploit its guests. Kind of like a cross between Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos.The Maury Povich show usually has the same topics. These topics are out of control teens, teen girls wanting kids, hidden videos, cheating spouses, and the most common topic is paternity tests.No matter the topic Maury comes across as someone who is pretending to care but he is really doing nothing to improve the situation while profiting on the problems of these dysfunctional people. The only thing accomplished in the majority of his shows is someone finding out if there spouse has been cheating or who the father is of their child.As if that wasn't bad enough there seems to be an Anti Male sentiment coming from the show. More often then not it is the males cheating and in the who's the daddy segment usually the male wants nothing to do with the kid. That is not always the case but more often then not it is.So the Maury Povich show does not help people like Steve Wilkos and is not entertaining like the Jerry Springer show. It is a show that pretends to help people (like Steve Wilkos) while really exploiting their problems and making it into a circus (like Jerry). The Maury Povich show is not a quality television show and I would not recommend watching it.

    The Maury Povich Show, for the most part, is entertaining. And, apart from some of the subjects of certain shows, i.e., deformed persons or young, obese children who have a hard time getting around, and who are shown being given junk food to eat, it is informative. However, my big complaint about the show on peeping toms is that never is anything said about how the women can keep themselves out of this situation. And that is to have Maury tell them to close the blinds or drapes. Simple as that. I can't imagine anyone who can see out their windows don't know that the windows work both ways - see out, see in. And with the lights on at night, the peepers can see in, but those inside can't see the peepers. Wake up, women, do you not know when you're putting on a show?
