Within the grab bag of talk shows, one has surfaced to be the most talked about and harshly recognized. The infamous Jerry Springer Show. The Jerry Springer Show has perfected the ability to taint our airways with unfavorable materials. The show could have a damaging effect on children because it contains the ingredients that can influence them to adopt the unacceptable behaviors of its guests. Many mature viewers, unlike children that feel the show is a great source of entertainment, see that the guests are being exploited for rating and revenue purposes. Jerry Springer, the host of his self-titled talk show, joins his guests in using obscene language and distasteful phrases. Their choice of words can range from the cruel to vulgar and implied to the bold and direct. In this atmosphere, the quests attire and appearance somehow seem to perfectly match their harsh language. From the initial dashing entrance, towards the audience or previous guest, to the last blow of the show’s air, one witnesses an ongoing process of public humiliation. The behaviors of the show’s instigating host and untamed quests are embarrassing. In the battlefield of bleeps and permitted obscenities, nothing is being said or heard; in the midst of the blind-sided licks, object-tosses, and kicks, nothing is being resolved. Rather than the show being entertaining, it becomes more unbearable as it progresses. If I was privileged to ask the Springer Show producer one question, it would be, “Does the show have an audience?” The “gladiators” of the show seemed to be cued as to when to make an appearance from the “audience”, in which seems like rejected panel guests. They are full of rage at the panel’s comments, lifestyle, and/or behavior so they try to reach and beat “their” understanding into the face of a defensive guest, ready for battle. With these actions being far from funny and closer to ridiculous, the “gladiators” are shadowed by the comedic half of the “audience” who’s purpose is to laugh at all the actions of the show and occasionally crack a sour joke over the host’s hand held microphone. When all seems to fail and energy is at crucial levels, for ratings sake, the “power suppliers” come to the rescue. They are the portions of the audience that feed the show its energy. The “power suppliers” gives off the energy of claps, facial expressions, and any combination of gestures that gets the message across. They manipulate whispers, oohs, aahs, boos, ohs, laughs, cheers, and whatever additional sounds or loquacious racket that strikes up the thoughts and tempers of the guests (panel guests and/or gladiator guests). The damaging effect this type of show can have on children is unlimited. Children are likely to take on the bad habits and personas that are presented. Ebonics, indecent acts, bad lauange and fights are immensely present and never-ending in nearly all of the episodes. The very things that one tries to instill, as being wrong, is staring their children right in the face and influencing them to adopt those actions when similar situations occur. The guests are filled with ego and when the walls of their facades come tumbling down, the ego trip fades from narcissism to nonchalant faster than the ratings skyrocket from your children’s viewing pleasure.
