Do POVICH and SPRINGER have a tandem arrangement?

[UTUSN]

Excuse me, but I'm new to these fellows. I mean, I only started watching them in the past year and I got hooked!1 Jerry is a real gentleman, actually they both seem to be, but Jerry has a quiet humanity and humility and doesn't look down on his participants and makes a case for the frailty of all of us humans. I mean that!1

So I was surprised after Labor Day, apparently the debut of the new season, when the two shows are in switched time slots. I knew there was some kind of two-for-one since they both tape in (Camden?), didn't pay attention to whether they are with the same production company.

Anyway, just wondering whether they have done this forever, being each other's lead-ins for a season or so.


ON EDIT: Might as well continue on...

I'm aware of Jerry's Democratic history, his sex scandal (while in office?). That he had relatives lost to the Holocaust. Self-deprecating humor.

As for the shows themselves, especially SPRINGER, it's like what the Roman forum crowds must have been, (almost) without the blood: Crowds in a frenzy, cheering for the raw lusts, jeering at the evil characters, just a (blood-)LETTING of emotions and Before-Xtian guilts and shades of gray.



Oh, and "Ellen" is now on another channel (ABC), whereas she used to be the third hour after those two boys. And just to clarify: I do NOT sit and watch t.v. The t.v. is always on, but it is on a shelf above my head as multi-tasking background noise, more often than not on the political/talk channels, and I am on the 'puter down below facing a window or else I'm DOING something constructive, NEVER sitting and watching. I'm sure this matters to be put out there.

1. Yes, if you watch the credits, you will see that

Maury Povich and Jerry Springer are in cahoots. I watch Jerry Springer in the daytime. He is on 3 times a day on my local channel. The morning show is usually repeats. The one that airs at 4 p.m. is the newer shows. Yes, the blood lust of the all the audiences is usually over the top. I have become sort of addicted to Springer since I haven't been working (was laid off in 2010).

What bugs me is how illiterate and dumb most of the guests are. I don't think his staff looks for intelligence in any of them.

But I love Jerry. And you are correct in that Jerry never looks down on the participants. Oh, I think that Security guy Pete is an absolute hunk.

I think we are going to get a lot of negative feedback on this thread about Jerry and Maury.

2. Sorry for sharing the flames I've become accustomed to, but thanks for the understanding post

And it's Stamford, CT, not "Camden" (Massachusetts?) as my faulty brain synapses led me to type: Apologies to any offended Yanks.


But I'm calling you-IN to the Jerry show for your lust over the security dude. After all, he's probably got somebody in his life, plus he has first pick of all of Jerry's guests, so I think this would make an appropriate segment to feature you in. :hi:
