Maury's on twice a day here.

CBS Afiliate: 9:00am

FOX Affiliate: 5:00pm

I miss the shows when he would have like 12 "drag queens" but 3 or 4 were real women, and the audience had to guess LOL

I guess talk shows and court shows are cheaper to produce and pull in decent ratings some are even higher than most or all soaps. Anyways, it would be easier to compare by the Women 18-49 category as that is the highly marketable category because all though these shows do pull in more veiwers, but they might not capture the 18 to 49 year olds so desired by advertisers.

On Maury...you are right he is great trashy fun. And those baby daddy stories are a hoot. I know u b da baby's daddy...na-huh...ya-huh...whatever.. and they usually end in tears and the male cursing out the woman and ridiculing her. All in a days work I guess.

Yeah, he's on 2 or 3 times here each day.

LOL! I loved those episodes. The audience had to guess if it was a guy or a girl, and if they got it right, Maury gave them a $20 bill!! :lol:

At school, there's absolutely nothing on at 4 PM during the day, so my roommate and I would watch Maury (it was between that and Dr. Phil). She had never watched Maury before (because she lived in England for several years, and now lives in Italy), and was shocked when I told her what happens on the show! :lol:

Maury: You are NOT the father!

and then you see the girl crying on the floor and the guy cussing her out! :lol:

I heart Maury so much! It's pretty much the biggest talk show at my school.

My favorites are definitely the paternity tests, out of control teens, people with weird phobias, and the guess who's a drag queen episodes.

I like watching Dr. Phil, but he is the most annoying, most ego-maniacal man I've ever seen. I just like to see the guests. Same with Ellen. I have nothing against her as a person, but she's just not a good talk show host, IMO. For me, a good talk show host is someone that I would watch regardless of who the guests are. With Ellen, I can only watch when I'm interested in who is going to be on the show.

How can Jerry Springer have the same ratings as Montel?

Jerry is head and shoulders above Montel.

Montel sucks!!!

I miss the talk shows of the 90's: Jenny Jones, Tempest, Ricki Lake, Rolonda and even the short lived Gayle King show.

    • The first show I found had Maeve dressed horribly, and I just shook my head and thought she must've been thrilled to be portraying someone much more sophisticated and rich.
    • It is the least aware sobriety memoir I've ever read. No spoilers, but where was the editor to ask what she learned from all the stories in her life?
    • Well awards like these are certainly different from big name award shows in a few ways but this is an awards show, not a poll. Not the same gravitas, not the same cachet, etc. but an actual awards presentation show is going to happen. We Love Soaps used to have one. The Webbys, etc. various.  But if you are aware of a better place for this to be posted, then say so, but to be clear, NOT A POLL. 
    • Ok I just bought Kim's book on Amazon... should be an interesting read.
    • Well, I think she's trying to be funny, and it's technically accurate, if misleading. If you leave out the Sonni part it's "Josh left Reva to (go to) Venezuela shortly before Reva had her miscarriage because of Vanessa." I guess "Josh left Reva after finding out the child she was carrying was his father's, and miscarried because of her drugged out step-daughter-in-law, where he met a woman with split personality..." isn't as "snappy". As for Robert, I thought he clicked with Harley and Annie, not so much Olivia. I'm on the fence about Sonni. Before Reva came to town, he crapped out with Morgan and Hillary, but a) I don't think anyone really had chemistry with Jennifer Cooke, who was not good, and b) I don't think the romance with Hillary was ever much more than filler. (oooh, Josh and Katie might've been cute...) But, after Reva, Josh was never really chem tested with actresses. I know there was some kind of flirtation with Jenna, which still seems odd to me (especially since Jenna was hiding a pregnancy).  But other than Cassie, Josh got involved with other women (from what I recall) when either he was out of town, or Reva was presumed dead. He didn't bust up with Reva and start dating around town.
    • Thanks for the info. Timm was a model for years, so one could speculate he may have done something like nudity etc... that violated CBN's moral clause. He was good in the role. He had an awesome mop of 80's blow dried hair that would rival Ted McGinley.....LOL
    • Before I met Reva, I really did enjoy Josh and Annie. The beginning of their relationship was really cute, the flirting and chemistry was there. I was fully into it, but then I learned who Jeva was and realized it couldn't sustain. I just read a few interviews that Kim gave online, and it's pretty clear she loves her wine, which I love. I'm a wine guy too, so I'm not surprised she had to have a little here and there to get through some things.
    • Opinion polls conducted by soap podcasters are not the same as "soap opera award shows".
    • Unfortunately, that period of the show would likely just put you to sleep. A part of me agrees, as I do think Robert is a good actor (better than I gave him credit for at the time), but I'm not sure, aside from Harley, how much he ever clicked with other ladies. He did have some spark with Crystal Chappell. I know there were claims they didn't get along either, although I remember reading somewhere (I think) a story about how Michelle was panicking when they had to film the rope ladder scenes in Venezuela, and Kim had to help her through...and Kim had also had a bit to drink.  (I hope I have the details right)
