time 8,413 Posted March 20, 2022 1 hour ago, MortalCaso said: Jerry Springer knock-off. What we call 'Trash TV' in the States Arguably predated Jerry Springer who himself was only a Morton Downey Jr, knock-off. Povich not well-known in the UK but as worth a thread as anyone else. It'll either sink or swim on it's own merit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Father Brown 180 Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Maury did air in the UK but definitely not as big as Jeremy Kyle was no idea he was that old to be honest. Edited March 21, 2022 by Father Brown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Springer/Jeremy Kyle/Trisha/etc. But I'll be honest, I vaguely assumed it was a woman, so I'm not pretending to be an expert... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,187 Posted March 21, 2022 Yeah, I used to watch it sometimes. I particularly enjoyed the ones where women called Lakshandaqua ( or other stupid made up fucking names) would shuffle on to the set, legs barely able to carry the 300+ lbs of weight of their tits to have Maury, oh so sincere Maury, help her find who the daddy was out of 11 semi literate males, normally called Dayshawn or Tee, or summat. God Bless America! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
