i liked it for a while when it had alot of variety on it but then it went down the road where everything was all negative and trash talking and i quit watching.

Off the get go I could tell I wasn't going to like this show. Did you ever get the idea that some of these day time talk shows pay their audience just to sit there and make annoying noises and comments?

This again is one of the shows. That isn't really meant to help people, but to watch young girls with a lot of potential, start dressing like Britney Spears or Christina Agularia, and dance out on stage shaking everything they got, just so they can look older,

UPDATE ! It was sad to see Jenny go after 12 years of watching her talk show. The show wasn't intelligent by any means, but it was all about having fun and the show was just so upbeat. I will miss it. I will also miss Rude Jude, too. Good luck in the future Jenny Jones.

the talk show idiot! This lame excuse for a talk show host and a woman does nothing but show teen sex, paternity cases, and angry ex-lovers yelling at each other on her show! She also caused a gay man to be murdered by a young man who he said he had a crush on on her show! jenny Jones must be cancelled immediately! She is a pitiful excuse for a woman!

Oh my.. what a freaking joke this is. It has the worst show titles, it turns my stomach to see a hag in her 50's trying to be hip and cool, but failing horribly. Than on top of that, her set/stage is a nightmare.. also, don't you think this skank could afford to get the same chairs all the way across the stage? Come on.. you chair is like for a 6 foot person, then next is for a midget.. what the hell? The only pluses about this show is Rude Jude.. thats it.

What disturbs me is she parades around these teenage girls and allows them to prance around where middle aged men gawk and get jacked off. She allows the young girls as the age of 12 and 13 to flash horny old men in the audience! 12 and 13 years old! Too young to be doing that! And it's horrible to know their stupid mothers let them. What kind of blind ignorant foolish woman allows her 13 year old to screw old men? This just creeps me out.

I like it, only because of Jude. Cella and her fake boobs need to be replaced, by a woman that is able to "rate guests", that would require a working brain, Cella.

Jenny Jones has been a pretty good show that I have watched off and on for about 7 years now. Did you know that her show was officially over on Jan. 31, 2003. I surfed the web and found on a website called TalkShows.com that all of the staff there got pink slips and the show is offically over and won't be back for another season. After that murder case, I'm surprised that she held on this long. Oh well, I wish her good look in her future endeavors.

I give it a 3, it used to be good with fun topics but now it's sucks everytime I see her show it's always the same ones "who's my daddy", or "girl's with big boobs and no brains".She needs to start acting and dressing her age.

Thank God she's getting cancelled. How many recycled topics do we have to hear over and over again. "Paternity tests: You're my Baby's Father", "Exposed Secrets", "I had Sex With My Cousin", all for what? Shock value? It's all boring to watch. I'm suprised she lasted this long after a guest was murdered by his best friend after the guest said he liked him and was gay. Remember that travesty? The list goes on...

Jenny's my favorite talkshow of them all. Some people like her and some dont, but we all have our favorites and Jenny tops my list in the talkshow category... I hang out on a talkshow message board andwas just surfing around and came across is page and I kinda like it already. Kinda reminds me of when I first went to Yahoo. Almost the same set up as Yahoo was 4 years ago but Yahoo has changed alot since then. Oh heres a link to my hangout. Cool people there to talk with. I hope they're people here just as cool. The link is... www.tvtalkshows.com

I think Jenny Jones delivers a wide variety of trashy topics that keep you intrigued for an hour. It's like seeing another side of America that you would never see unless you flipped on your T.V. It's entertaining, it's not there to teach us a lesson or give a moral, it simply keeps you entertained. If I'm feeling down about myself, I flip on Jenny Jones, & realize my life isn't so bad. I was going to give the show a 4, but gave it a 5 because of Rude Jude...he is some definite eye candy.=)

The guests on JJ are trailer trash idiots, which makes the show funny. it used to deal with serious issues but now most of the episodes are 'From Geek to chic' or 'I know your my baby's daddy'. Jenny Jones IS the queen of makeovers. my conclusion-its a fun show!

I refuse to watch talk shows like Jenny Jones. This show constantly recycle their material. For example: DNA testings or Makeovers. ZZZZZZ I also dislike know-it-all shrinks who appear on the Jenny Jones show. The audience knows that the guest is a psycho. We don't need some media whore telling us the same thing.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TALK SHOW SEEMS SO UNSTABLE AND THAT IS EVEN JENNY JONES HERSELF. JENNY JONES LOOKS FAKE WHEN SHE SPEAKS TO HER GUESTS IT IS OVIOUS THAT SHE IS STOPPING HERSELF FROM CRITIZING AND JUDGING. I USED TO LISTEN AND TAKE HER ADVISE MANY YEARS AGO WHEN SHE HAD RESPECT FOR HER GUESTS, SHE HAS LAUGHED ONE TO MANY TIMES AT GUESTS WHEN SHE SHOULD OF LISTENED AND REALIZED THAT WE DO HAVE REAL PROBLEMS AND NO MONEY TO RUN FROM THEM AND NO LAWYERS TO RUN TO, WE HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACTIONS. JENNY JONES SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY AND HAVE/SHOW RESPECT TO EVERYONE BELOW HER. FOR WE ARE THE ONES THAT HOLD HER LADDER UP FOR HER TO STEP ON US ON HER WAY UP, IT CAN BE LET GO OF ANY TIME, AND IT'S A LONGER FALL THEN SHE THINKS, NO GETTING UP FROM THIS FALL.

I am a British Jenny Jones fan. I started watching it about four years ago. I watch it for the light entertainment it provides during the day. I find Jenny is an honest individual who doesn't try hard. Hosts such as Sally really get on my nerves. I find them patronising and dis-likeable. Jenny on the other hand makes me smile - exactly what entertainment shows should do. If it's not your cup of tea then simply dont watch it. Leave jenny alone!

i'm a 16 year old female , and have some opinions regarding "out of control teens and pre-teens".i think these opinions are pretty rational , and because of my age , i think i might be better able to identify with this topic than most viewers . i think that the audience should lighten up onthe kids that go on these shows . they obviosly have self esteem issues already , so why make their emotional problems even worse . rather than say hurtful things to them , they should be constructively critisized , given helpful advice . in some cases , if you don't have anything nice to say , don't say anything at all , because you could worsen the situation . if you don't want to take the time to try to understand , leave it to someone that does .

Just another "talk show" (read peep show) catering to the lowest common denominator. This and other shows like it claim they are just depicting real life: I wonder. Perhaps if they looked at themselves, they might see that they're working toward creating a "real life" in this country where everyone is encouraged to want 15 minutes of infamy, no matter how pathetic they must become to get it. Not to mention the sheer bankruptcy of ideas. It's an endless parade of the same thing over and over: makeovers, teens shipped off to boot camp, people dressing "too sexy," blah blah blah. Give us a break! Show a little decency and respect for each other. How do they sleep at night?!

This is in reply to the person who wondered what kind of impression foreigners get of Americans when they watch shows like the Jenny Jones Show. I'm from Europe and we get Jenny Jones here on cable TV from Britain. You are right; it gives a very bad impression of your country which I think is largely undeserved. I've been to the USA and I don't think the people on the Jenny Jones Show reflect the majority of people I met there. The producers of this show should consider that there are people in Europe (and wherever else the show is aired) who switch on Jenny Jones simply to "laugh at the fat, stupid Americans". This show (and many like it) is an embarrasment to your country. These shows (sometimes) deal with serious issues affecting American society. Jenny Jones should consider how she deals with these issues. Talk shows should provide a forum for serious discussion on relevant topics, not an opportunity for Europeans to laugh at your country while it is misrepresented by people such as Jenny Jones.

Make no mistake, Jenny Jones hardly fits under any proper description of a 'talk show'. Jenny Jones exists simply to show a bit of cleavage here, a lot there and to let audience members take cheap shots at the pitiful guests. Really, aren't talk shows meant to discuss social problems and how to find acceptable solutions to all the parties involved? What is accomplished by bouncy camera shots of cleavage and name calling? I can respect serious talk shows like Montel or Maury Povich, but Jenny Jones has got to go. If Jenny Jones can have her own talk show then I guess anyone can.

She can get sorta smutty at times, but I really dig her makeover shows...especially the ones where the high school geeks show the cool kids what they grew up to look like. I'd like nothing more than to meet my bully from school days and show her that the fat, curly haired loser she remembers from back in the day turned out to be poised and successful!

Read her book and loved it. She is no prima donna. People don't give her credit for her tactfulness and how nice she is to some of the most ignorant disgusting guests. Most of the time the subject matter is beneath her and she isn't able to show how really talented she is. She also never seems to get credit for introducing new talent. She doesn't ever try to make things about her or show a big showbusiness ego. I would hope that the shooting incident didn't hurt her because it is time people take responsibility for their actions. I can't believe that the lawyers actually blamed a tv show for another man's actions. Wish Jenny success in whatever she does.

I've been a loyal fan of Jenny's for years but I was appalled when our local affiliate here in Detroit ran a show titled, "Past Guest Confronted", one guest in particular a 15yr. old girl repeatedly flashed the studio audience I felt that it was Jenny's responsibility at that point to take control of the situation and tell the young girl not to carry on in that type of fashion but I guess that ratings are more important to Jenny than a minor exposing her breasts in front of millions of people. That totally disqusted me and I am very dissapointed in Jenny Jones I thought she was better than that.

Jenny Jones is using a boot camp called "About Face Boot Camp" which was recently shut down because of abuse allegations and no state licence. Then Raymond Moses, the director of About Face, skipped the state to try and re-open in South Carolina. Below are links to several newspaper articles about the closure of About Face, as well as two letters concerning Raymond Moses - one of which was posted by a parent who's son was abused at About Face. Raymond Moses is also a guest on the Ricki Lake Show. Please read the following articles: LINKS: http://www.journalnow.com/news/local/local/northcarolina/boot17.htm http://www.journalnow.com/news/local/local/northcarolina/boot17.htm http://www.journalnow.com/news/local/local/northcarolina/boot30.htm <http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20000616/us/boot_camp_0304_2.html http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20000616/us/boot_camp_0304_2.html http://www.charlotte.com/observer/local/catawba/docs/review0618.htm <http://www.charlotte.com/aol/news/briefs/docs/boot.htm http://www.charlotte.com/aol/news/briefs/docs/boot.htm http://tvtalkshows.com/ <http://www.nospank.org/newsrm.htmhttp://www.nospank.org/newsrm.htm http://archives.newsbank.com/bin/gate.exe?f=nav_doc&state=q31ahl.1.1 _____ The posts: I hope someone from the show actually reads this because I am very upset about the show with Raymond Moses I saw last night. There were pre-teens on the show that are "out of control" and included in these was an 8 year old boy! First of all this is irresponsible of Jenny to allow this boy to even be put on her stage and be subjected to that type of pressure. And as for Mr. Moses yelling at the children what about the mom? I know it had to have bothered everyone except for the boys mother. If she is able to put her son thru that what else is she capable of? I have 2 sons 8 and 12, so I'm not just guessing at this. IP: 152.163.207.74 LINK: http://tvtalkshows.com/messageboard/Forum9/HTML/000406.html _____ I just logged onto this site. I urge anyone who reads this not to put their kid in the About Face Boot Camp. It definetely was abusive and way out of line - much worse than I expected. I thought my kid would just work hard, have strict military discipline, work on goals, etc.. The stories he tells of this camp are not fabricated. IT took him several months to just talk about it. First of all, the camp told him he did not need to take his medication. Subsequently he had to be hospitalized to stabilize his med levels again. Also, they made him sleep in a 2 person tent with a girl about his age (10). He reports that they handcuffed a kid to a rake. They fed them only poptarts for breakfast, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch and fast food for dinner. They withheld food for many kids who were refused to comply with directions (such as the kid handcuffed to the rake). There was one girl who had an eyebrow earring and he said they ripped it out with pliers. He said this camp was worse than bad. He said that he was not aloud to talk for the entire week. When they did go to a pizza place one evening (the only time out of camp), they still were not allowed to talk or look at the t.v. and if they did , they were severely disciplined in the restaruant. He also was not given any of the mail that I sent. The thing I am most concerned about with this camp is that they refused to give my kid his medication - even when he asked for it. This was one thing that I could confirm - because they sent the medication bottles home with few meds gone. He developed tardive dyskinesia from the med withdrawal, spent 1 month homebound, and 2 weeks in the hospital. These folks do have a good idea to put kids in a strict camp - but they are not trained in anything but strict military discipline and as far as I am concerned - they even go overboard with that. U wish there was a way I could be contacted - I would spend full time trying to get this camp shut down. From their website, it appears that they are still open. Find an alternative for your kid - there are options - but do not use this camp. Thankfully, my child is now doing well - but this camp did not help. It was basically a week of child abuse, and for that, I feel extremely guilty. I promised my son that I would do whatever to get this camp shut down. If anyone knows anything else about this camp - PLEASE post it!!! IP: 64.12.104.167 LINK: http://tvtalkshows.com/messageboard/Forum9/HTML/000256.html

She provides America with a daily dose of complete trash. It is quality trash though. Her show is horrible and raunchy but I have been known to get sucked in on ocassion. Jenny knows she is trash and doesn't pretend to not be. I love the 'I used to be a nerd but look at me now' shows or the basic 'makeover' shows.

Amateur night in television. Does this series have a point? I've sadly seen parts of it more than a few times and it's so poorly thought out and executed. Jenny is totally cluless, as though she just walked in the building seconds before airtime. She's perpetally lost and fumbling. And those cheesy "comedy segments" featuring her staffers are about as lame as things I did for college video class.
