Jerry Springer: Real or Fake?


Have you ever watched Jerry Springer? After watching it once, have you never watched it again? Jerry Springer is one of those shows that people talk about really badly, but yet some people find it extremely entertaining and watch it every morning at 12. Most of the shows have the same type of theme. They almost always revolve around cheating relationships and almost always involve some sort of fighting. There is a question as to whether the show is scripted just for public entertainment and whether the people on the show actually do fight or not. On the show they have a bell that is signaled in real boxing matches and then the people who are in a fight start punching each other and pulling each other's hair. It gets pretty violent and the security guards have to step in and minimize the fighting that goes on. Sometimes wigs go flying and people really go at each other with the cruelest intentions. Here is an episode called "Bad Boys Breaking Hearts" and it is about guys who are breaking up with their girlfriends because they have cheated on them:

                            I have to wonder though, if these stories are real or if they are just made up for entertaining purposes. Do the people really fight each other or do they just do that for the show? What are your thoughts?
