TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

DKosty123 Created out of a sick lab and on it's 17th season, Maury stays on the air with a combination of guests who are just sick for many of us viewers. Just when you think you have seen it all, yet another strange guest appears. A DNA lab has gotten pretty wealthy just testing people for the show. How one woman remembered more than 10 guys might have been her baby's father, yet none of them were proved to be is amazing in itself and an example of the type of guests that are on this show. Other than a "Chicken Ranch" employee, how many women have taken on more than 10 partners 9 months before they have a baby? Since none of these guys turned out to be the father, we are still wondering.I am afraid this show has proved time and time again that before DNA testing, no one, even the mothers, were sure about who the father of their child was. Worse yet, these tests have also proved how many times a woman would lie about that in order to try and get something they want. Of course there are some themes the show could still hit. How about DNA tests of every woman who had a baby and claimed to have had a fling with any politician? We might be able to get many shows out of that, especially if they can locate some victims of say Anthony Weiner?There are scandals on this show in addition to the DNA tests, but often the tests are quite strange. There was one where a boyfriend suspected that his girls child, their child might actually be his dads child? Then there are the flings and cheating going on which go beyond reason and into the abyss of the human soul.At any rate, this is the kind of trash TV all the folks want to talk about. That is the only reason Maury is in his 17th season, and will have a fine retirement on all the money this stuff has cranked in.

crow30002003 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.

jshannon4 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?

CrassActionHero "The Maury Povich Show" (1991) Review: I'm not too much into TV reviews, but this one I will.Let me make a point. I hate this show. It's the same thing every time. It's either about, Boot camp for brats, He's Cheating, and Who's the dad. One thing for sure is that this show is mostly driven to hate men. Like the who's the daddy episodes are making the women seem like the innocent victims and the men are pure evil at least 95% of the time. First off, you are at fault for not using birth control and did not consent to safe sex. Second, you are a whore if you do not know who the father is, by means who have to point a finger and administer a paternity test to find out. Just how many guys did you sleep with? Unprotected nonetheless. Stupidity. The dads are also idiots too for not paying 3 dollars to purchase condoms to make sure that a pregnancy does not happen. As far as I'm concerned, both of em got themselves into this situation themselves. The only "victim" here is the child.This show is based too much on trying to be a glorified Jerry Springer wannabe instead of dealing with issues that need to be taken care of. From the loud crowd to the usual guest taunting the crowd to the unoriginal ideas, Maury Povich is trash TV.The Last Word: Unoriginal and mean-spirited. At least Jerry Springer does not take themselves seriously. Maury Povich does. Total garbage.
