Congratulations to all of our winners, and if you're interested in seeing more of the Maury show...You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
For
the third (and final) entry in my hard-hitting fictional awarding of
honors to the titles of various daytime television shows I decided to
take a look at Maury, which is a talk show which "is often accused by
critics of exploiting dysfunctional families, minorities, and the poor,
and for embracing and sensationalizing some of the worst stereotypes of
American society and behavior [and] some critics denounce it as being
even worse than other similar talk shows such as The Jerry Springer
Show, due to what is perceived as an insincere sympathy for the guests
and using their serious problems for the entertainment and humor of the
viewing audience."
So while I'm sure a show of this caliber is sure to have garnered many prestigious awards already, I might as well heap a few more onto the pile. My feeling has always been that you can't overpraise good work.
