Forget Trisha, Jerry Springer etc. JEREMY KYLE is the best show yet to be born. JK gets straight to the point, tells the guests what we are all shouting at our TV's whereas Trisha is more like a counseller and at the end of her show there is no conclusion. With JK's show its too the point, if you were a bad mum or dad you will feel about 1ft tall by the time JK finished with them and so they should. Why is the blame being proportioned at JK alone for showing a "bear baiting show" when he has numerous staff working for him, ITV who show it and the 1.5million plus who watch it every morning. Its funny how the people who are quick enough to slate the show know exactly what happens on the shows sounds a bit like they watch themselves, so therefore wouldnt they fall under the same category as the rest of us "sad and have no lives for watching it".
The JK show is ace i love it and no lots of others that do so the people who hate it so much should just not press channel 3 in the mornings.

Jeremy Kyle is one of the best presenters on TV. Shows like Trisha didn't solve the problems that needed solving because she did not feel compelled on getting the point across - she spoke to them, instead of at them (which is what they needed); Springer should not be classified as a talk show, as there is minimal talking involved, it's more or less just violence from beginning to end with very little input from Springer. Jezza get's his point across by emphasising his key points, and while he may shout 70% of the time it does help and people do listen - this way they can solve their problems, with the help of Jeremy and his team. Unlike many other chat show hosts, he gets personally involved with regular visits to guests to see how they are coping following broadcast. How many talk shows do you know of, that become directly involved after the show. Judge Berg does not know what he is talking about and to slate the show after viewing only a couple of episodes is completely biassed!!

jeremy kyle is one of the best presenters on tv and i would make a point off sitting down to watch his show every morning. He is straight and to the point which is the way it should be to sort the half of them out. They should appreciate the help that his people give him. All of these people choose to go on the show and talk about their problems. Nothing is said about the good thinngs that happen like helping sick children with things the would like to do.

It's strange how many people think this show is trash etc and yet are fully aware of what goes on - in other words they are secretly regular viewers of the show. Hypocrites comes to mind.

Good luck to JK, he helps numerous people and provides good entertainment. Like so many other things - if you don't like it - don't watch it. It really is as simple as that.

I have only once seen one episode of this programme but what I saw brought to mind a line from the 2000 film 'Gladiator', spoken by our own, much-loved, Derek Jacobi; "He'll bring them death and they will love him for it."

Uncivilised is a word I feel compelled to use about such debasement of humanity, if indeed humanity can lay claim to anything higher in it's nature.

It would seem that television has become the nadir of human reason.

Jennifer Hynes, Plymouth, England

It is car crash tv but lots of people like to rubber neck!
I went to see the filming of an episode & when it went out on tv there was no clever editing, the programme showed what I had seen in real life. They even film the requests for future guests in the studio with music playing in the background, the set is really small & a bit rubbish to be honest!
There will always be an audience for this sort of tv programme, people like to watch it so they can feel better about their own lives.

Helen, Rochdale,

Jeremy Kyle's show should be compulsory viewing for policymakers who largely come from middle class backgrounds unused to seeing the true reality of life in large sections of Britain today. They might then question the usual liberal tosh that everyone is 'misunderstood' and realise that there is a benefit dependant underclass in Britain incapable of making any sensible decisions about their own lives, let alone those of the children they bring into their dysfunctional existences. Far from being some sort of circus freakshow, I believe that the guests on this show are all too representative of many in Britain today.

Dan, Oxford, England

I find it remarkable that so many critics, especially those writing here, appear to have extensive, first-hand knowledge of the show. Could it be that they are all really secret watchers and incredible hypocrites?

It's a bit like asking who reads the Sun. Nobody seems willing to admit to it and yet it is a top seller.

Alan, Oldham, UK

I watch the show but it gets very boring with the same words - " Sit Back" - " This is my show my name is up there " Constantly rubbing his nose" saying " Guys " it does get a little boring - The visitors seat's look very dirty..

Every day he does the same thing " pushes his shirt in "

I think its time for a change - Poor old Graham its funny to see them " shake hand's every day " as if they had just met.!!!!!!!!

If I had a problem instead of telling the " Nation" I would seek a different method, its what you call a " Good Laugh "

Time to SCRAP IT >>>>>>>>>>.

Unfortunately, people still want there 15 minutes of fame. And so are easily swayed to come on the show.
Im sure many people think they can go on the show and come off it in a good light. However a bit of cajoling and some clever editing makes the reality show not so real. The bad person still remains bad, and the good person is twisted to be shown in a bad light.
Entertainment? More like giving the people what the editors and producers assume they want to keep the figures rolling.
Switch of in numbers, and these truly ghastly shows which are all about manipulation to make money off the most vulnerable in society will soon be over.

Adam, london, uk

i feel that the jeremy kyle show should not be demolished for national television...
because jeremy kyle has helped millions of people world wide
he has a big heart and generally cares for people
he is there to help people and i feel that the public are totally taking this the wrong way...

Charlotte Shannon , Roehampton, LONDON

Tv at its very worst

Absolute trash.......

Jon, Leeds, UK

God, I've just realised Jeremy Kyle is same cretin "Jezza" who made me want to stick pins in my eyes when he was on BRMB Late Night Confessions. I'd hoped his disappearance was a result of being sacked for incompetence. The fact that a man will such a total lack of talent or charisma can be so popular is proof there is no justice in the world! I just hope he remains in daytime tv ghetto and doesn't infect anywhere else.

Angela, Birmingham, UK

Jezza was substantively better with his radio 'confessionals' than he is on TV.

Adam Neilson, Birmingham,

I know the show is complete trash.
And that's why I love it.
And I know The Jeremy Kyle show is called such for a reason. Its all about Jeremy Kyle.

Megan, Poole,

what i want to know is what qualifications does jeremy kyle have himself that allows him to deal with the people that appear on his show? I was a nurse for 20 years and a publican for 13 years with all my life experiences even i would be unable to be as judgemental as he is. I appreciate that he has a team behind him, but it is him that speaks to some of the guests like dirt.

Wendy, Devon,

Jermey kyle is a great host. it makes good tv for students and has an avid fan base at uni. go on jk.

Conor, Liverpool, England

I think his show is rubbish. There is no format only sentationalism and listening to the gory stories of these poor people. Do they get paid for baring their souls this way?

Gratuitous violence for the couch potatoes.

Linda, London,

Daytime TV was always the drug of choice for people who cannot read, but the real problem now is the number of people WORKING in TV who cannot read either.

Johnny Farpan, London, UK

I Love the show JK is a legend!

Richard O'Gorman, Birkenhead, Wirral

I happen to be going to the Jeremy Kyle show this week as a member of the studio audience. I disagree that the show is a human form of bear baiting! I'd be interested to know how many shows the judge in question has actually seen? The majority of the time guests are civilised and want to sort out their problems and the show gets them the right help. Isolated incidents happen in all genres of chat shows be it with the public or celebrities before Jeremy Kyle came along!

Marie Allport, Doncaster, Yorkshire

Fair point, it is rather inhumane at times. However, it must be said, its a great pick-up in the morning. Watching these people makes you feel better about yourself!!

Francesca, Glasgow, Scotland

The show has turned DNA testing - "who's the dad?"- into entertainment. It is trash TV.

Chris, Birmingham,

The poor souls who have nothing better to do, than watch this load of of tosh are to be pitied.
My advice is, PLEASE, do go and get a life that is worth living!
