Advantages: It is cheap for the tv companies to make

Disadvantages: They are messing with people's lives

Over on another review, I could not help but characterize The Jeremy Kyle Show as 'chavs fighting'.

Well, this is one step up from that. Maybe it is best described as 'the thinking unemployed person's Jeremy Kyle'.

Caring Trisha deals with the issues that matter - for instance, she once explored the tragedy of the chap who was so scared of scotch eggs that it was threatening to ruin his wedding reception.

Now, I could write quite a lot about just that one episode but, to be honest, I could not really make it sound any more likely and you are already thinking that I made that last one up (and no I didn't!).

The people that go on these shows *generally* would be better off getting some therapy off screen but where would be the fun in that? Where would all those people who had married their brother and their pet goat in a menage-a-trois stylee get the opportunity to put their side of the argument across?

I don't know but I cannot help but think that these programmes are not going to actually help them have a more fulfilled life.

If Kyle is chavs fighting, this is caring for chavs fighting. It just should not be on telly.

Summary: Maybe it would make more sense to show some re-runs of Countdown?
