Movie Connections:

Spin off from "The Jerry Springer Show" (1991)

It certainly isn't Dr. Phil.

I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the Jerry Springer show but I do watch it from time to time and have been familiar with Steve Wilkos for a while. On the Jerry Springer show he seemed like such a great, cool guy. Kind of a knight in shining armor; when he'd go save a lady from an abusive household and such. While on his own show he's a complete Neanderthal. He name calls, throws chairs, and half the time doesn't listen to one word anyone has to say. Not only does he yell at the abusers (which I have no problem with, most of the time they deserve it) but he also berates the victims when they didn't do what Steve believes he would have done in the same situation.

The commercials for the show are almost as bad as the show themselves. They mock every problem from child molestation to drug abuse and domestic violence. It's disgusting. I don't understand how this show can stay on the air.
