For some reason I have allowed myself to let my TV channel stay stuck on... wait for it... "The Maury Povich" show! Talk about a train wreck... or several train wrecks... looping... over... and over... and over... And after each scenario I tell myself "change the dang channel!" Then... another "wreck". I am horrified... yet, mesmerized.

How can people DO this, go on a show and put all their "skid marks" OUT there, like that? What in the WORLD does Mr. Povich offer these people that's enough to have them DO this? 15 minutes of fame? Seriously???

Is this what recuperation has led me to... stuck on Maury Povich??! Uh-uh, no. I will NOT settle for that. True, I can't do much physically right now... but I will NOT sink to THIS... this... this "low sink of debauchery". I will NOT. I WILL fight it.

Oh, wait... the highlight scenario is "I'll prove your 16-year-old grandson is my baby's [daddy]!" Ooooh, sounds like it's gonna be GOOD. Baby's Mama vs. Grandmama. GOTTA see that!

Somebody slap me. Please.

Peace...

SA, telling self, "Well, it's not as bad as Jerry Springer." Or is it?

The thing that gets me about Maury Povich is he used to be a respected journalist, how the heck did he get wrapped up in this crap? Connie Chung, his wife, is/was a respected journalist, I wonder what she thinks of all the "baby daddy drama"! Is that the theme of his show every day?

That show unfortunately answers the question as to why some white folks think of "us" in a certain manner.

I'm thinkin'... that if you've slept with more than one man in a period of say... well, whatever period it takes to be unsure who the father is... you really need to think twice about going public when you name one of them as the father. The chances that you are WRONG... are HUGE. And to have that error revealed on national television... after you have yelled and screamed and cussed to the effect that he IS the father... what the HECK are you THINKING? Oh, wait... you weren't thinking THEN... and you're still not thinking, now. My bad. Carry on...

SA, on her own... shaking head over this particular "slice" of "America"...

LOL @ Shelby!! I used to watch Maury when the show came on at work. And I was always shocked at the same thing.

What is wrong with those people? Why air out your business on TV? Is it really entertaining? Apparently it is or it wouldn't be on TV for so long.

Greetings, my dear sistah Wuz... and peace to you!

My understanding is that both he and... oh, what's Marlo Thomas' husband's name... Phil Donahue... took dives when Oprah arrived on the scene. After her, folks started doing more "quality" stuff, but Maury and Phil couldn't keep up. I think Phil's dropped out altogether. Maury, though, may have to keep working... after the horrible crash of Connie's career (resulting from some question she asked Newt Gringrich's mom... which wasn't even all that controversial, but Newt-lovers at the time made it so)...

Connie Chung, his wife, is/was a respected journalist,

I think was. Don't see much of her, these days... at least, not like before her Newt's Mama drama fiasco...

I wonder what she thinks of all the "baby daddy drama"!

She's probably "blinded" by the paycheck. Heck, even trashy talkshow hosts and their wives gotta eat, dear one.

Is that the theme of his show every day?

I'm beginning to fear so. Seems to be. Ewwww....

That show unfortunately answers the question as to why some white folks think of "us" in a certain manner.

Sigh. Yeah, I can see that. Although there appears to be just as many of them... who are just as crazy and "ghetto"... on it, as well.

Thank gawd it's off, now. 'Bout to turn from Steve Harvey's toothy grinning, dapped out butt... Gotta be a worthy cooking show on somewhere...

Peace, chile!

Yes, I hear ya! Stuck in the house for about 18 months now, don't get me started on the medical profession!

It happened to me once, too. There I was, lying on the couch, nothing else on the tube, oh about 4 months ago. I watched it ... I confess! Those poor people are just so dysfunctional, and do they have no pride in themselves whatsoever? Sad, so sad.

So I up and bought this puter, got hooked up with the net, and at least there's more to do.

I must confess to watching the 'judge' shows, though, it passes a couple of hours a day ... Mr Judge Joe Brown, all I can say is mraoww! And I like People's Court, the lady is so smart and makes me laugh.

*sigh* it sucks being sick and stuck in the house all the time. I'm glad you are on the mend, ms. Shelby. You're a doll!

LOLOLOLOL! I'm thinkin' maybe Maury offers them something like $1,500 and plane fair, dear CoC (the greatest of love and peace to you!)... which is CERTAINLY worth that 15 minutes... to these folks. Probably get something like $75 after taxes... but who's counting? Wait, who of them CAN count? LOLOLOLOL!

Sad. Sad. No, wait. What's worse than sad? That.

Peace!

SA, on her own... and now learning the "history" of shepherd's pie (mmmmmmm!). MUCH better viewing, that...

I just turn the Channel when I see his face..

I TRIED, my dear King Art (the greatest of love and peace to you, dear one!). Truly, I DID. But "something" wouldn't move my hand from the keyboard to the remote. I kept telling myself, "Change the channel! Change the channel!" Even when I saw his face. But by the time my hand actually reached the remote... well... it was too late. The first scenario had started, and it was revealed that the guy was NOT the baby's daddy... the girl got up and ran out screaming and crying... and I wanted to know, "Well... what NOW? What you gonna do NOW?" Know what I mean?

And then I stated posting and before I knew it... another scenario... another "You are NOT [the baby's] father!" and... well, what can I say?

You know how it is...

Peace, my dear!

SA, hanging her head in great shame and vowing to try and do better... but not actually promising... on her own...
