Where does Maury find these people!??

[gsdx]

This was in today's TV guide:



Where in hell do the producers find these people!?? And where can I get a job getting paid to think up these topics!??

[FanofFiction]

I love Maury! It's a guilty pleasure.

I never quite understand the obsession with paternity tests on these shows, besides the fake 'dramatic' effect. From what VERY little clips and glances and snippets I've briefly seen over the years, invariably the guy is desperate to shirk ALL responsibility and hates the idea of being a father, and is always overjoyed and celebratory if he's given the clear. And dismayed if he's not. And it TENDS more frequently than not to be the African-American guys that act that way.

You might wonder if these shows give an accurate presentation. It gives the impression that nearly ALL black men say age 18-30 of that 'social class' in the United States have zero interest in having ANYTHING to do with a child, and will try to dodge any responsibilty, far less doing anything to bring the child up.

At least that's the impression I get - a generation of fatherless children whose dad's are too selfish and lazy and benefit-dependent to bother with their kids.

You people must not get sensationalism.

Looking at this current Hot Topics ‘crowd’, I’m sure there are many here who can testify to the fact the 5 is no big deal at all.

And, many places, if the government is asked to support the mother, or the child, in any way, first the father must be identified.

One of my mother’s clients had to have 19 boys tested before they found/identified the father.

^ I get sensationalism. I just don't watch it.

What I DON'T get, though, is how they found enough twin sisters who had become pregnant by one of at least 5 men.

Also, I I know it takes a lot of time to do DNA tests, yet shows like Maury seem to do dozens and dozens of tests each day. It makes me wonder just how reliable those tests would be.

The Maury rejects get sent to appear on Steve Wilkos.

It's made up, fake.

[refujiunderground]

the question is who watches this kind of bullshit.

[TheFireGod]

Guilty pleasure for me, though Maury in my area airs on MyTv or something like that.

I can tell it's fake cause the reactions are all the same.

You are the father!
Male bows his head in defeat while the mother gets up on his face.

You are NOT the father!
Male dances and jumps while female immediately runs somewhere to cry.

Oh we get sensationalism. That's the problem. We get it from all directions 24/7. It's not so sensational anymore, it's just stupid, mind numbing, bullshit.

[vulgar_newcomer]

The Maury rejects get sent to appear on Steve Wilkos.

Isn't this slob just about the most ignorant thing in the world? He was lucky to find the goldmine of Jerry Springer.

P.S....


I'd never this one before. Hilarious.

And some day, aliens are going to pick up these television signals, figure out how to watch them, and erase Earth from their 'Places To Visit' list.

[M10000]

Its is so boring. When they first started that that was fine but thats all they do. Ill watch the Kardashians and not Maury.
Its the same thing over and over again.
Boring

I am not an anthropologist.

But I imagine that if an anthropologist viewed this video they'd be assuming that the buttocks are an important part of this woman's psyche.

I've noticed that some people use the word 'ass' to represent themselves. They say the words 'badass' to mean they are 'a good person'.

And I don't know Beyonce Knowles but I get the impression that her buttocks represent her personality and that her sexual partners have to place a ring on her rectum to gain entry.

[floridaboy]

Maury, real housewifes of New Jersy, and flipping out are my "guilty pleasures" that i watch

[gsdx]

^ 'Flipping Out'? I didn't now that was still on. I stopped watching when Jeff bad-mouthed Ryan for not giving him one of his frozen embryos. I couldn't believe that he blamed Ryan call called him selfish.

Hehe, I forgot about the mother saying: "I'm [insert a number higher than 100] percent sure he's the baby's daddy!"

By thinking this planet is not worth invading, or visiting, Maury has done a service to the human race that's not ready for official contact with extraterrestrials.

I have been wondering for a while whether or not these people are actors. I don't think it's "cool" or "hip" to dislike TV, but for the most part I actually do. I rarely watch any television shows at this point and when I do I usually stream them online.

[gsdx]

I'm not so sure they're actors as they are show-offs who are told to be as outrageous as they can be. I can't get into those types of shows even for the entertainment factor. That's why I've never seen one.

[ronboy]

I said it a long time ago...Maury is my guilty pleasure. You know that things are going to turn out badly, but you can't take your eyes off of it!

[gsdx]

Maury is my guilty pleasure.

I used to see promos for the show during People's Court, but now the broadcast times have been switched and People's Court follows Maury. There didn't seem to be any variety. The 'Who's the Daddy' DNA tests seem to be extremely popular, followed closely by 'Who's Cheating on Whom' lie detector tests.

I cringe even during the promos. I don't think I could sit through an entire hour of it.

[reone]

Oh God, court shows are just as bad, if not worse in my opinion :|...

[gsdx]

I've seen most of them, and agree for the most part. There are a few which aren't showcases, though. There was one bald judge who, I believe, was once either a wrestling or boxing referee. His show was as bad as the Jerry Springer show. I watch only Judge Judy and People's Court. Marilyn Milian gets on my nerves sometimes, but Douglas is just too damned cute.

[reone]

Who is this Douglas? I want to see him ...

[seven2go]

As if Maury isn't bad enough there's a clone show with Trisha Goddard.......same shit.......diffferent network.......

I can't believe those people WANT to be in front of a camera much less millions of viewers.......

[lambdaboy]

I think it is crap!

[gsdx]

Who is this Douglas? I want to see him ...

I'm surprised there are so few pictures of Douglas on the internet. Here is the most flattering one I could find. (You'll just have to trust me that he looks as good from behind as he does from the front.)

[RaKroma]

Maury show had its shock value in early years. Now, I'm completely dull by it. Watching ghetto sagas of baby mama and 11 potential hood daddies take DNA tests and polygraph and none of them being the daddy is absolutely boring and predictable. How does that show manage to make revenues after all these years? At least Jerry Springer had variety of batshit crazy topics and drama.

[Kahaih]

All of the advertisers accept Benny cards?

[M10000]

I took a capture of Doug, years ago




It was a kitty trial
