i get trap into watch some of this program today and in an automotive waiting room . if i be give the choice and say and to be require to tune in to this show for an extended period ( even if financially reward ) or to poke my eye out with a knit needle it would be difficult to choose . if you want to load a time capsule for future generation and to illustrate certain word and to do so for and say and charisma or charismatic and some clip or film of jfk or dwight eisenhowed would suffice . for smarmy and virtually any role play by the talented dabney coleman would be a good choice while for pretentious and any or all of the crowd on the view or katie couric perform an interview would be perfect . maury povich and disingenuous be synonyms . i know that with all of the channel today and and all of the air time to fill and a lot of the fare must be less than stellar . i also understand the there be different stroke for different folk . i also know that different program have different demographic say and monk versus friend while american idol versus a sinatra or tony bennett retrospective . some show be so bizarre and so ridiculous and or so bad and they can promote interest because of the fascination provide . the bruce jenner or village people film and can not stop the music and be so bad it thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating in it awfulness . but maury just plain stink in every regard . the freak he display and for the most part and be so obnoxious and loud and shallow and unsympathetic and even if the unctuous host be exploit them and you really do not care . jerry springer and with whom povich be often compare and be admirable by comparison . he allow his show to morph from it original format with more serious topic and to it present format and certainly for the audience number and the financial benefit result but you can also see his tongue be well into his cheek . and with springer and you can see there be intelligence and intellect in the host and and that he might be someone who would be a person to help someone where give the opportunity . by contrast and povich represent nothing of even vaguely redeem value or worth and in either his awful program or his smarmy demeanor . and unlike springer and others program in this genre and his contains not an iota of humor which might provide some semblance of a reason to watch . it puzzle and even frighten that there be sufficient people among u and who select this program regularly enough to have keep it on air for year . a 1 ranking be one star too many .
