    I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

    By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

    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.

    Mr. Povich started his show in 1991. back then, Talkshows were certainly worth watching, until jerry springer came along. then, he rose the bar. the first person to follow? Maury povich. now, he's keeping up.OK, there's usually 6 different categories for a Maury show. Number one; Paternity test results, these are a common type of show. Number 2; Lie detector test shows, they're a bit less common, but too predictable, and rather embarrassing to watch. Number 3; the my-13-year-old-needs-to-go-to-jail show. These are stupid. some other user commented how the parents should be the ones at boot camp (which i agree with, since a few guests return.) Number 4; Abusive husband shows. wives complain to Maury about their abusive husbands, when they should have the presence of mind to file a divorce. Number 5; Sex, lies, and scary moments caught on tape shows. jeez. give me a spoon and gag. those videos are ridiculous. the audience oohs and aahs, and they're from New york. i thought new yorkers were tough. number 6; Ugly duckling turned swan shows; where ugly girls from school become playboy playmates in adulthood, and have a crush on some guy they liked. and number 7; Is it a man or woman show. these are rare. Thank god.Hey, Maury is on now. lets see what it's about.guess what! it's an update show! so it's everything I mentioned above.

    MY WORD, the things Mr. Chung and/or his producers (or both) do for those ratings! Ratings equal money. A lot of times certain episodes make you question the legitimacy of the panelists, but for any of the real situations it's all just nasty trash. Mr. Chung is nothing but a weathered old man (albeit wealthy) whose RAREly done anything positive in the entertainment industry (save the first few seasons) except to gratuitously butt in other people's business for his own gain and he should at least retire like Bob Barker.

    This show is the most despicable piece of TV trash I have ever seen. I've been to almost 40 countries, and whenever I can I try to watch some of the local TV programmes. I've seen lots of low quality material. When I was in the US recently, I had the dubious pleasure of enjoying a few Maury shows. How anyone can voluntarily appear on this show is beyond me. From the moment the guest appears on stage it is absolutely clear he will either a) make an ass out of himself b) be ridiculed by the audience c) will receive faked sympathy and compassion by Mr Povichor rather all of the above.The show seems to be all about paternity tests. Apparently there is a choreography to this charade. The couples will abuse each other, the male will insist on not having fathered the baby, the mother will protest against the male's inability to care for the child and so on. Upon hearing the result of the paternity test, the male will either dance and scream in joy or start cursing.The guests on the show seem to be very well aware of the mechanisms of this program, probably being frequent consumers of the show themselves. So being part of this circus freak show seems to be a kind of acknowledgment or even gratification to those people.And amidst this puddle of low social class tragedy sits, like a king dressed in beggars' clothes, Mr. Maury Povich and pretends to have compassion towards these poor sods. Mr. Povich must be a very clever businessman to have run the show for such a long period. Respect to that! But anyone who is to believe he actually cares about what is happening to the people on his show is a dimwit.Bottomline: inhuman charade
