Advantages: makes JK look slightly better

Disadvantages: everything - production, Trish, guests & audience

Since being ill I've watched much more TV than usual especially during the day & wonder why we have to pay sucha lot for the privilege of having television in our homes. Not only have I had to watch Jeremy Kyle & Jerry Springe but the Trish Show! I guess I could have switched off but to be honest I couldn't believe how bad they were so ended up really concentrating on them in case I'd got it wrong - no - I decided I'd got it right - dreadful TV in my humble opinion.

I used to watch Trish years ago & must admit I quite liked her shows & her personality but what went wrong? Moving from channel 3 to 5 may have meant a change in producers but I used to think Trish was more intelligent than to take on these newer & often embarrassingly bad programmes.

I think the main problem is the production team who invite such ridiculous guests onto the stage, the second problem is Trish herself who seems to have changed personality, the third one is the guests - all the ones I've viewed look like they've been rejected by the Jeremy Kyle show & finally the audience who spend all their time booing, shouting out & reminding me of MPs in the House of Commons.

Topics usually include cheating on partners, who the real father of the baby is, family feuds etc. & Trish's patronising manner is really quite embarrassing - I never remember her being like this as she used to show empathy & sympathy towards her guests. From the 5/6 programmes I've watched I've found them cringingly bad.

We don't get even get the exciting (lol) lie detector results just an 'expert's' interpretation of the guilty party's body language. There's a 'chill out' area where unruly guests can be sent as Trish's manner is less confronational that JK's.

I know that Trish is a well educated woman & from what I've read she's a genuinely kind & pleasant personality who's suffered quite a lot over the years - I think she demeans herself by fronting this show.

I hate to say it but if I HAD to watch a talk show I'd have to opt for Jeremy Kyle - what is the world coming to?!

Summary: a programme I'll make a point of missing thanks
