Subject: Another 90s TV fad/trend..

Written By: Helpinghand on 04/21/03 at 03:10 p.m.

The TALK SHOW craze..which really paved the sick way for the 2000s reality shows. If the 70s were about sitcoms and the 80s about game shows..the 90s were about lackluster chat shows. They started off respectable and interesting..usually very entertaining and educational in fact. Donahue (actually started in the 60s), Geraldo, Sally, etc..then came Springer which the first few years was a "normal" show produced in Cincinnati,,then about 92..the rampage..many have come and gone..some somehow stay..Ricki..Jenny Jones..Maury..and they are ALL pretty bad, even compared with anything from the early 90s. Fights were unheard of on these shows til about 94-95 and now it's just ridiculous. I hope the "reality" shows of the '00s die a quicker and more painful death though. Back to entertainment, education, comedy, etc..NOT the tv garbage disposal remains on the screens now.
Can anyone name any early 90s talk shows that have since faded into oblivion??
1. Arsenio
2. Vicki Lawrence
3. Rolanda (??)
4. something Witt (her last name)
5. I know there's more..just cant think now!....

How about Whoopi Goldberg's talk show. :P
And one talk show hosted by one of the members of the horrid group Wilson Phillips.

And even a great comic like Keenan Ivory Wayans made a bad talk show in the late '90's.
