Yes they are staged. Maury's though actually have problems- like the ones who need blood tests. All those crossdressers, well they dont fight so they are ok. But Jerry- yeah they are all staged and screwed up- he even made a movie about it!

I am a die hard Maury fan but I have thought on occasions that there's no way someone would come on his show 7 or 8 times trying to find their babies daddy and making a complete fool of themselves when all they had to do was go to the child support office and ask for a paternity test. Now Jerry is a totally different story. When he first started doing those crazy shows, I think those were real, but I feel that over the years, they've added a little something extra to keep their ratings up. Those people on their are either REALLY retarded or they've been giving a script.

I know a woman that went on Maury Povich and she said that his format is real and that he seems to have alot of creative control over the show. On the other hand, Jerry Springer has only been candid with the fact that his show is staged for ratings. He just seems very real, because he was a politician (former mayor of Cinncinati) before he became a talk show host.

I do know that Jerry Springer's shows were definately staged. As for Maury, not too sure on his, but after many months of people fighting on Springer's shows, he was told to tone it down, and if you watch them repeats to this day, you can tell by the way people talked and acted it was staged.

I think Maury is Real. But as for Jerry Springer, that's as fake as it gets. Nobody can be that screwed up.

I don't know about Maury, but a few years ago you could spot people on Jerry Springer that had been on other shows like Jenny Jones; using different names, with different "issues", etc.

Jerry, for the most part is staged. I wouldn't be surprised if Maury was...I mean, I saw one a few months back where a girl was so scared of something, mustard I think it was, that when they brought it out on a huge plate, she started crying and ran offstage from it.

Yes they are staged. They tell the people to ham it up and the audience gets them all going even more. No talk show should have out of shape naked people fighting, screaming & carrying on like they do and running off stage because they knew they were wrong and showing these innocent babies on big screens for the world to see. They have no idea momma & the could be daddy are disgracing themselves and they will have to live with the stigma afterwards.
Maury started out as a believable show then Jerry was getting more ratings and he started having these ridiculas people on. I mean "Baby Daddy" shows where you have some stupid girl come on 8 times and every time "Oh look at my baby she look just like him & him & him & him & him & him & him & him"....
I think they lie about some of those results just to keep these poverty strickin, under educated, never had nothin & never will, so a free trip and a nice hotel looks good to me, girls on just for ratings.
If people really looked at what these shows & other reality shows do to the fabric of our society they would have to say "hey do I want my kids watching this or acting like that?" "Do we want people chanting for these people who are obviously in need of psychological help to take off their clothes & fight on national TV?" Isn't that what a strip club, where people over 21 go or at a boxing match are for?
If you want real help or want to see intelligent talk shows, stick with Oprah, Ellen, Tyra & Montell...
