I know the Maury Povich show is really, really old news so much so it doesn't offendd or shock anyone anymore but I've only recently started to "once in a while watch" it and I'm shocked and offended.
No, it's not the baby mama drama although it seems some of the guests on there are nice people with serious problems and are being cruelly exploited by Maury.
No, it's not the cheating women, athough that seems to be more of the same.
It's the episodes dealing with spousal abuse. You know, when Maury has these abused women publicly humiliated and then attempts to cure their fiances or boyfriends or husbands by having them booed by the audience, yelled at by an angry black man and shown their victim in a coffin at the morgues. After which they break down and cry and promise to reform- what abusive men (well, not only men) always do.
When I was in elementary and middle school, we had seminars and public service stuff and lessons about spousal abuse and the message the speakers or the experts or the teachers always had was the only solution is to leave and never come back cause in all probability those people are never going to change.
And even if they could change, do you think that's gonna happen over four hours with Maury? Who is he kidding? If he had any compassion for these women, what he'd do is call the cops, a good divorce lawyer and a therapist cause that's who they need, not Maury.
