Advantages: Effective decimation of unnecessary brain cells Disadvantages: By watching it, you're directly contributing to Jeremy Kyle's smugness fund.
Jeremy Kyle. Erstwhile Radio DJ. Demoniser of the British working classes. King of the gypsies (thank you, Vic Reeves). Presenter and ringleader of the televisual circus that is the Jeremy Kyle Show, ITV's most gutter-scraping weekday morning offering (with the exception of This Morning and Loose Women, which are equally targeted at the perpetually unemployed and/or disillusioned housewives)
The show requires little introduction. It has a rigid formula which commences with Jeremy greeting his audience as if he were about to make a presidential bid ("Thank you, thank you. So kind...") and then, with a face set as if he were announcing news of immense gravity, introduces the first guests and their 'subject', which is then conveniently abbreviated at the bottom of your screen for the rest of that part of the show (should you need reminding ...

Everyone?s heard of the Jeremy Kyle Show (ITV 2) by now. A judge has called it a form of human bear-baiting and it recently caused another furore by ?inadvertently? broadcasting a swear word. The format is simple enough. Kyle, who looks like a cross between a particularly miffed warthog and a premiership footballer whose name I don?t know, invites contestants (?guests? is too genteel a word) onto the show to thrash out deeply personal problems in front of a TV audience of a few million, in exchange for his sagely advice and a night in a cheap hotel in Manchester with free run of the mini-bar (that?s probably not true, by the way).
The problems typically consist of alcoholism, drug dependency, ?am I the real father? scenarios, ?my daughter is going off the rails? narratives, ?Mum, your being a 70-year-old stripper is quite embarrassing ...

Advantages: Good presenter, good identifiable topics, good daytime tv Disadvantages: Could be a bit damaging?
When I moved in with my boyfriend at the beginning of June, I expected to get a job pretty easily, but after the terrible floods that hit Sheffield in the summer, I found myself jobless and ofter very bored. After completing every adventure game I own, I began searching for something on TV to get addicted to. I'm not really a big TV watcher, Big Brother makes me angry, Coronation street and Eastenders send me to sleep, Hollyoaks confuses me and after trying several programmes I flicked the telly off at the wall and went back to my trusty laptop.
One morning I was having my breakfast and I flicked the TV on to see if there was anything worth watching. I'd seen Jeremy Kyle a few times and liked it. Although, I was reasonably firmly set against chat shows like this, I think (having studied counselling) that quite ofter more harm is ...
