After 27 seasons of baby-daddy reveals, fistfights and chair-throwing, The Jerry Springer Show is calling it quits.
NBC Universal has reportedly decided to shut down the show which has been on the air since 1991 and has produced 4,000 episodes. Springer himself told Entertainment Tonight, "We've stopped production of the show." But Springer added that the CW Network will continue to air older episodes and even some new episodes that have already been taped. (Chicago Tribune)
Scott's Thoughts:
- I didn't even realize it was still on TV.
- Remember when The Jerry Springer Show was the most shocking thing on TV? It's nothing compared to the news these days.
- The "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" chant is still one of the coolest chants ever.
- His show was a total train wreck, which is why people tuned in.
