Of Jeremy Kyle like shows is written well, in this article. It used to be so mild when I look back at watching Kilroy in the 80's, yet some of his shows were seen as shock, horror back then, yet are so tame now. I can't stand this type of program. Seen snapshots of at friends houses and that was enough.
That said going back to the 90's I used to love watching Springer. The psycho-annalist in me understands why now, as I was wanting to looking at people whose lives were more fcuked up than mine at the time, to make me feel better for that short term fix.

The Enduring Appeal of Jeremy Kyle (Or Why You Are Ronnie Barker)
......................................
What follows is something like a typical scene from the ever popular Jeremy Kyle show - if it's enduring appeal (NTA nominated again) mystifies you then consider this theory...
"You two don't have any simple human respect for each other"
"Yes but we came on the show to try and fix...."
"SHUT UP!!! I HAVEN'T FINISHED TALKING AT YOU YET"
"I'm not sure this really was the best forum for trying to reconcile our difficu...."
"I SAID SHUT UP! SHUT YOUR POISONOUS MOUTHES AND LISTEN TO ME!!!!! BLACK T-SHIRTED HENCHMEN RESTRAIN THEM!!! FORCE THEIR FILTHY MOUTHS CLOSED WHILE I CLIMB UPON MY HIGH HORSE AND EXPATIATE!!!"
Firstly, it doesn't have to be Jeremy Kyle, you could really put any angry, sneering, self-righteous, disapproving ringmaster into that circus and they would appear, relative to their on-stage participants, in full possession of the sort of moral-compass most of us take for granted.
It's what we perceive as Kyle's moral compass that's meant to link us to him, that connects the audience at home with the audience in the studio and sets us, as a collective, apart from the scrapping sub-human scum on stage. In the real world we probably know that Jeremy Kyle isn't any more "moral" than us because he allegedly stole from his ex-wife to fund a destructive gambling habit and met his current wife after she "won" a competition on his radio station to marry a complete stranger. But hey, all that was before he was canonised by ITV to referee human bear baiting - so that's all right then.
