Pet Peeves About Talk Shows

Tyra Banks Show - If you all hadn't noticed, I probably watch this show the most. I find it very entertaining because Tyra is usually a pretty entertaining talk show host. However, it just aggravates me that she has to relate her life to the life of every guest that appears on her show. All of what she says cannot be true. For instance, one show about less-fortunate families, she expressed that her childhood was limited to Wal-Marts and Dollar Trees and never got what she wanted. BUT, on a another show aired less than a week later about spoiled children, she expressed that her family was pretty loaded growing up and she basically got anything she wanted... so Tyra, what's really the deal??

Dr. Phil Show - I usually only watch this show when it's about a topic I feel really strongly about or when I am in the mood for being entertained by ridiculous people. However, it really irritates me that sometimes Dr. Phil gives advice that ought not to be given. For example, disciplining a child with a firm hand causes a child to be afraid of a parent. Uhh... not really. I know no other form of discipline but a firm hand...and occasionally a firm belt. It wasn't that I was necessarily afraid of my parents because of that, I was afraid of doing what I did wrong again. That's the whole idea behind discipline I thought.

The Maury Show - Honestly, I only watch this when nothing else is on TV and I want to see people embarrass themselves. What aggravates me the most about this show is that you are almost certain to hear the words "you are the father" or "you are not the father"..... or "the lie detector test has proven...". Come on Maury, give us something new, PLEASE!!!!

But.... those were just my opinions. What do you think??
