Four good things about three bad shows - VIDEO

SpringerOK, so yesterday I listed six bad things about four good shows, so I thought today I'd flip it around. Even bad shows have good aspects.

1. Jerry Springer. I could probably plug a dozen other shows into the number one slot, including Dr. Phil, Tyra Banks, Maury and others, but let's go with the classic. There's one good thing about this show: it makes you feel infinitely better about your own life. If you're feeling bad about something that's going wrong in your life, maybe you've had a fight with your significant other or you've lost your job or you've lost your wallet, just turn on this show. Within five minutes you'll be saying, "wow, I'm glad I'm not any of these people." (Cops gives me this feeling too, but I actually like that show.) And that includes the people in the audience.

2. Pam: Girl on the Loose. There are two things that are really great about this reality show. I'll leave it up to you to guess what those two things are.




3. The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. "Headlines." And that's about it.

"You know, it is so cliche to take a shot at Leno, but the fact is, the man is out there every night, and he's charming!"

Wow, the only thing funny about Leno's show is Headlines? At least it still gives Leno one up on Letterman whose funny count is absolute zero.

But Leno still kills Letterman in the ratings, imagine how much Letterman has got to be.

You forgot "Jaywalking," which is similar to Springer in that you feel superior after watching people struggle to answer questions like "When was the War of 1812?" I wouldn't miss that for anything!

Oh, I think you're being a little tough on Jay's show. The band leader gets a good line in every once in a while (unlike the host).
