While flipping channels, I came upon Jerry Springer's show. Of course, someone was cheating, the wife/girlfriend confronted the other person and the husband/boyfriend. I did NOT realize that the fights were being shown. I know a few years back his show was edited so that the actual brawls were not shown.

1. I'm wondering why this show still airs (our time slot: 4pm)
2. Why aren't the fights edited anymore?


I was shocked when I actually saw the fights.

2D Believe it or not, that very same day (9ish in the morning), I tuned in to see if Springer was still on TV (there was an online rumor that the 04-05 season would be the last). Needless to say, that is not so. And I was also surprised to see the fights being shown.

To the poster that said that the '97-'98 season was off the chain, you ain't lyin'. I bought the book that highlighted shows from primarily that season and the season before that. I also remember renting videos that highlighted all the crazy fights instigated on the show. Matter of fact, Springer actually beat out Oprah for highest rated talk show that season, something virtually unheard of. But yes, the show has been on 14 years and is still going strong.

BTW, whatever happened to Rufus and Treynae? They were pure entertainment.
