Jerry Springer Documentary on Netflix

[secondsoutthere]

Couldn't see a thread about this. Is anyone watching?

Ive just started. I remember it being wild but not that it was real. Yikes!

Ooh no but thanks for the heads up!

I used to love the Jerry Springer show, it was prime Saturday afternoon viewing with a hangover, cup of tea and a packet of biscuits!

Excellent review from Lucy Mangan

I always thought it was fake!

I remember people mocking others if it was mentioned, like ‘Gahc you do realise it’s all fake right’

Deffo watching this

My cousin and I used to spend entire weekends lounging about watching JS. At the time I thought it was real, then as I got older assumed it was made up. I'll be watching the documentary when I've got time.

I've just watched it! Really interesting and enjoyable. Found the 'Springer Triangle' quite amusing 😆 kind of reinforces the joke about backwoods trailer trash America

One of the best lines I ever recall was " and you won't even feed the goats" 🐐. I accept you had to see it to get it 😂

I used to love the fact that all the guests would be arguing/ screaming/fighting and then Jerry would go 'take care of yourselves and each other' 😂
