This man looks to be in his late 50's or 60's and is wasting the final years of his career hosting this total sleazefest. Like sfalconer, I have only caught it a few times, but most shows revolve around Who's the Daddy? The people he finds for these shows are not the classiest folks and of course behave with no dignity. Povich encourages them, and he should really be ashamed of himself. I can't imagine why anyone would choose to watch this show every day, but I guess some folks are watching, because it has not been cancelled yet.

I have read alot of comments about this show and I do not watch it but I do catch a glimpse every once in a while. It is always about who's the father of the baby and angry teens. Maury needs to retire and let his wife be the bread winner.
jane_o_bloom 09/29/2004
i used to like maury povich show.. i mean it has some episodes of it are happy but.. these young ladies come to the show and cuss to their babies father or fathers.. its ridiculous when these ladies comfirm 150% that its his baby and when its not they feel stupid and come back 5 more times... and.. it sucks when these babies grow up, they gonna find out their father is only there because her mother cussed him out to be a man LIVE...

Well I happen to be watching the Maury show about paternity test.The shows are full of drama but I get sick of hereing those young women just interested in getting the fathers money. I don't here the women saying anything to those fathers about spending time with those kids. They need to be loved and cared for.To be loved the way that they would want to be. That might not make for good ratings but thats how i feel.
ldove69 09/21/2004
I love the Maury Povich show,,, bacause he dose good things for people... i think he is awsome and very handsome for an older man..... Hey Maury!!!!! you are way better then Jerry Springer.. i watch your show every day ... i am a big Fan of yours.. Love, Susie Q.
mjsmilie 08/13/2004
T think what Maury is doing is great.There are millions of children out ther who deserve to know who there parents are. Paternity test are too expensive for a lot of people. I'm glad to see somebody finally helping these children and families. If you don't like it, it's probably because you never had to personally deal with this sort of situation so it is of no interest to you. I was never in this situation myself and i can get bored with it or laugh at this trashy women.But I can just turn the channel. Maury is doing a good thing. These people need answers.

one word-trash. whenever i'm unfortunate enough to catch a few seconds of it while flipping thru channels, i can feel my IQ plunging down. i didnt think i'd ever say this,but its even worse than jerry springer. at least jerry gives semi-helpful advice once in a while.
ashley"bug" 07/15/2004
maury's show is intresting bc ppl like 2 c wut is going 2 happen 2 the ppl on the show, and 2 guess on the ppls lives...i kno i've done it! but i think that maury should show diff. topics on the show! its always....he's my babys daddy!i'm 100% sure...or its....severe injuries....but its never NEthang diff. i watch the show almost evryday...just 2 c if theres NEthang diff.....NEVER is!!!!
BeatlesfanStev eo 07/12/2004
The show is good when you watch it for the first time in months. But the topic is always the same. the show could be better then it is if they had a fairly new topic every day but until then they have to settle with 2 stars.
BIGBABY 07/11/2004
When will this crap ever end? He always has the same show on- paternity test results. Seriously, who the hell cares who the father of some slut is? This show is mindless garbage.
BRNSUGA 06/30/2004
I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START WITH THIS ONE. I'M A 25/F WHO IS ALSO AN SATELITE SUBSCRIBER, SO THE MAURY SHOW IS ALWAYS ON TV. I AM VERY DISGUSTED BY MAURY'S SHOW. IT SEEMS LIKE ALL HE IS INTERESTED IN NOW ARE THE PATERNITY SHOWS. WELL, I'M SICK OF IT!!!!! THE WOMEN MAKE COMPLETE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES CLAIMING TO BE 100% SURE THAT IS THE FATHER OF HER CHILD. THEN, MAURY READS THE RESULTS, AND THE WOMAN RUNS OFF STAGE CRYING WHEN SHE FINDS OUT SHE WAS WRONG. I ALSO THINK SOME OF THESE WOMAN KNOW THAT THE MAN OR MEN SHE BRINGS TO THE SHOW AREN'T THE FATHER, BUT SHE JUST WANT A FREE TRIP TO NEW YORK. ALSO, HOW COME THE AUDIENCE NEVER GET TO SPEAK OUT TO THE GUESTS?? MAURY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THESE GUESTS AT ALL, HE WANTS TO GET THE RATINGS BY HAVING SCANDALOUS WOMEN ON HIS SHOW. ONE MORE THING, IM SICK OF THE BOOT CAMP SHOWS. THE PARENTS HAVE THEIR CHILD ON THE SHOW SCREAMING PROFANITIES AND WEARING PROVACOTIVE CLOTHING. THEN, THE SARG. COMES OUT SCREAMING AT THE CHILDREN,LIKE THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE THE WAY THEY ACT. HOW IN THE HECK IS ONE MAN GOING TO CHANGE THE ATTITUDE OF TEENS IN ONE HR OF THE SHOW. GET REAL MAN, THAT IS NOT WORKING. MAURY, YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE. REMEMBER THOSE SHOWS THAT MADE YOU CRY,AND HAD YOU FEELING WHATEVER THE GUEST WAS GOING THROUGH. NOW, THE WOMEN GO HOME UPSET BECAUSE OF HAVING THEIR HEARTBROKEN ON NATIONAL TV, AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY KIND OF ON SCREEN COUNSELING LIKE THEY USED TO HAVE ON OTHER TALK SHOWS, BUT HE IS QUICK TO SAY STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE UPDATES OF THE SHOW. THE MAURY SHOW NEEDS TO BE CANNED IMMEDIATELY!!!!
misnice5 06/27/2004
Dear Maury; I am from Canada and I watch your show every chance I get, you have the most amazing and interesting shows in all the talk shows on tv. I am also writing you to tell you I have a story to tell it is about my cousin. she is 29 and in a wheelchair since she was 13 she has rumituid Arthuritis and she is having trouble with getting disability, she was supose to have a home built for her and it is not to her standards for wheelchair, she only gets enough money for her workers that help her she has a little girl that is five. She can't even afford her meds sometimes and we would like some kind of hope and help to find a way for her to have a happier life. She is stuck in her home because there is no way we can lift her and put her in vechicals to transfer her back and forth she dose get to the hospital but it is hard on her to be tring to get in and out of a vechiel. We just wish she could get help. When I say we I mean me and her family. Thank you so much for listening and keep up the great shows I really enjoy them. Thank you Cindy Hirschi
hope1 06/14/2004
I think that the maury show is amazing it gives young teenagers hope in life and a second chance. I think that the mpdal should not judge it like that beucase its good to help them find their daddy so their child can get to know their daddy and i dont think that you should critize it when you are probibly not perfect yourself
mpdal 06/11/2004
I don't have cable and only get channels that seem to play Maury day and night...Uggghhhhhh make it stop. Maury seems obsessed with teen subject matter, 14 and can't find the daddy of her baby...not just once or a few times in the course of a month like most talk shows...but like EVERY FRIGGIN show. When it's not that then it's my 12 year old dresses like prostitut, or my 11 year old is a drug addict and regularly lights the dog on fire. Then he will set them straight with that boot camp sergeant who always makes a big entrance...and the audience gets all worked up into frenzy, jumping up and down as if this jug head is their messiah. Seriously who gets excited over this? He's a make believe sergeant! These people are such morons! Seriously he seems to be a bit infatuated wit this subject matter about out of control kids. When it's not that it's who's the daddy (doesn't his audience get tired of that?) Though the worst even by Maury standards was when he had freakishly obese children on the show, and they forced these kids to come on the show only wearing diapers, and the older kids had to be shirtless. He put them on display and even had footage of some eating and eating and eating. WTF????? He does more harm to these kids than good. This guy is a loser, who feeds off the ignorant, jobless, illiterate audience that actually believes he is helping people.
LaShel Dixon 06/08/2004
I LOVE THIS SHOW. I WISH I COULD BE ON THE SHOW. I KNOW MAURY CAN GET MY PROBLEM STRAIGHT. HE MAKES ME HAVE HOPE.
Vera 05/24/2004
I love Maury!! The paternity test shows are my absaloute favorite. I watch him every day! Right on Maury! Vera, Ontario Canada
VinnyIN 05/16/2004
Maury has to be the worst talk show host on TV. He doesn't offer suggestions to stop these teenagers from getting pregnant. He also is no help in the endless paternity test parade, allowing the same women on the show a million time to find the baby daddy. I wonder if these women know how stupid they look after the millionth man they test isn't the father and they go crying off the stage. They deserve it for not keeping their legs SHUT! And you also think the cheating boyfriends would've become aware of the sexy decoy trick by now. Man, talk about stupid, and Maury sunk to that level. This show should be axed NOW!
foxslair 05/07/2004
I have been watching Maury on TV for many years. Long before he got into talk shows. I always almired the compassion for people that he has showed. I am extremely disappointed in The Maury Show because all the shows are about sex, cheating, paternity, etc. There is more to life than all that trash. He truly disappoints me.
Toni Booker 05/05/2004
I love evey show that Maury's have. I think the show should not only help women find their baby's father, but also give them counseling. All the women who slept with two people at the same time have low self-esteem. Plus they should be embrassed to come on the show, to do that to themselves. Overall I love Maury's show. It's the best show on air, ever.
ponto 05/04/2004
I thought the show called, That's not a monster,,that's my mom. Was very touching. I especially was touched by the young boy named Mitchell who had a serious facial disfigurement. He was a happy, energetic young 13 year old, and it brought tears to my eyes that people out there make fun of someone like that. He really is a beautiful person, and wish him and his family nothing but happiness. Good harmonica playing Mitchell!!!
taby 05/03/2004
I think that the show about who is the father has gone too far. Everyone is too busy looking for a father for these woman.Who don't know about the father. AFTER 5-10 OF MEN WHO COULD BE THE FATHER OR NOT. THEY SHOULD BE CHECKING THEM FOR S.T.D. Because after so many men they should worring about what they got or what they still could get. Espeacially when they go the show for D.N.A test and the men are not the fathers of the kids.And there stupid enough to go and do it again. They shouldn't be allowed to even have any more kids. They Can't even be consider them to be fit mothers. I should know I have 3 kids from different fathers But I KNOW WHO THE FATHERS ARE.
lynn3318 04/30/2004
Same old brainless crap-you are or you are not the father -Oh boo hoo oh boo hoo-run off the stage oh boo hoo-shame you present people with mutiple partners and don't know who the father is-worse than Jerry Springer show.
coco33 03/27/2004
The battered women show left a lot to be desired for the women facing this problem. Maury only told them to get away, but to where? I thought Maury should have mentioned WEAVE and other places to go that would be safe and helpful.
Srapper 03/25/2004
your a sweet guy and i love your show. I like your paternity shows, but you are starting to bore me by showing them every other day.
bobbiejo 03/23/2004
okay the show is great but..........why not have a few guest that dont need paternity test? my husband and i have 9 children between us he had 4 i had 4 and we had 1 together. we dont need testing but.... boy could we use a home addition you we just found out we are expecting #10 NO this one wasnt planned and we dont have enough space as it is. maury in the past you had a reputation for helping people like that. i wish you`d get back to that way of thinking if not for me for anyone whos life you can touch....Bobbie..
sexygrandmama@ 40 03/04/2004
I try to watch it everyday,it very helpful sometimes.I espectally like the paternity shows.These children need not to suffer because of parents don't know how to use safe sex!!
dar1966 02/25/2004
Change the subject.I am sick of paternity tests.There is a thousand different things to talk about.
skir12345 02/22/2004
The Maury show is probably one of the worst shows on tv in my opinion. They almost always do paternity tests. If those women have to test that many men to find out which one is the father of her kid{s} chances are she needs mental help not just paternity help. It's obvious that Maury wants to be shocking to get ratings but I don't know who would watch that nonsense. Other topics include lie detectors, freak shows, out of control kids, and exploitational hidden cameras and stuff. Maury is a fake and he doesn't care about his guests he just wants to exploit them. This trash should be taken off the air immediatly. I would have given it zero stars but I had to give it at least one.
alp_9658 02/20/2004
all u do is paternity test and its really stupid u really need to do somethin else jenny jones was better but then they took her off so i had to watch u and u do the same topic over and over find somethin new to do!
tequila1 02/20/2004
My wife and I used to love the show. But now it seems all he has on is paternity shows. It really gets sickening to see the same thing over and over. The paternity shows have been done to a ridiculous over kill. We don't even want to watch the show any more. It is terrible that all he does is encourage these people to go out and sleep around just to get on the show. Maury... go back to doing the good shows like... people surving death, or people who have over come a great obsticle etc. Get off the paternity kick all ready.
boogyman 02/17/2004
I watch Maury almost everyday. Why? No clue!!! A few things. I am SOOOOOO sick of the paternity tests. Let them talk about it, not you. Do you need that much of a tax deduct? How can you afford to pay for all those tests? Tell them go on birth control, pay for a year, not the tests. How can them women have any self asteem? How much do they get paid to be on the show and embaress them selves over and over? Also, the little kids that come on the show and steal, smoke, hit and kill, come on. They are to little to understand what the hell is going on at the age of 4 and 5. It is a good idea to get mentors that I applaud. And then the women to hit, yell and scream at the guys(and visa versa) before they are even on stage, muzzle them. Tie them to the chairs. The lie detector tests, why are they ALL lies? Is it because they love the attention that they get for being liars? It gets them no where in life. Probably because they ARE going no where in life. These kind of people, boy what I want to say I don't think I can put into decent words. Again, why do I watch this? Maybe for the background noise?!
AngelEyz1961 02/16/2004
I have watched The Maury Povich show go from being a decent, wonderful program to becoming just another typical who's my baby's daddy? smut show! I used to say Maury Povich was such a great guy and brave for not bending to the peer pressure by changing his show format like all of the other talk shows to include all of the paternity tests and lie detectors etc., but... I guess the pressure got to Maury too. It's sad really. I think he held out longer than some, but he still fell and now his show is terrible! It's truly sad because I think Maury is a man that DOES care about people and does want to help people, but he gave into the pressure of having to make his show like everyone else's. His show used to be unique and worth watching, now it's not even worth glancing at. Maury... this is so beneath you... wake up and smell the coffee hun... you're better than all of this worthless smut!
five 02/10/2004
keep giving episodes with odd couples. Those are the best. I hope that Maury is on tv for a long time.
ClassicTVFan47 02/07/2004
I really hate talk shows like this. They are built on shock value and nothing else. They take a very small portion of humanity and make it seem that all of humanity is that bad. Not true. Its truly saddening to see young women torn apart by men merely looking for sexual pleasure. And, the audience is terribly disrespectful, constantly whooping and cursing. The simple lack of dignity on this show is astounding.
mochi22 01/30/2004
Piles and piles and piles of dog dung. Loads and loads and loads of cow crap. Tons and tons and tons of human excrement.
blogyourbaby 01/26/2004
i really enjoy the show but i have one comment to make. when maury does the shows about finding the woman's baby's father, maury usually has the woman apologize if she wrongly accusing the man of fathering her baby. but very rarely does he have the man apologize for wrongly accusing the woman of lying. cheers maury to all of your uplifting shows but please be more considerate of the woman trying to find their childrens father.
xx_alexa_xx 01/05/2004
It's bad because it's 75% fake. All the shows on who's my babies father, drag queens, and bootcamp are fake.
Yellow_snow69 12/21/2003
someone cancel this
rdkuhn 12/19/2003
the day and age we live in where everybody walks bythem selves it is so nice to know that there are men like him trying to help and be a roll modle.
LadyShark4534 12/19/2003
What a disgusting show. Exploiting teenage girls sexually and exploiting people with disabilities? At least the people in the 1930's freakshows were the ones being PAID for what they did! I also do not like that Maury says his show is a family show yet it showed a pre teen girl talking graphically about her affair with a 52 year old man as well as an episode talking about a man ejaculating into fast food. We don't need to hear their disgusting unhealthy activities. What message does this send to little kids? The user momsoftolland was right. Also, What's with the frequent stereotyping Maury does on this show: Teenage girls are slutty, people with disabilities and deformities are all poor, sad people who want money and gifts and pity? Men are cheaters? This show is just plain sickening.
kolby1973 11/27/2003
I came across the Maury show today, and they were having a special on people who had been thru horrific ordeals. I thought it was really cool how Maury and the people behind the scenes had bought the children some nice things to cheer them up. They were not cheap gifts either. For this reason, I jumped the show from one star up to 3....(I know this may seem shallow to some, but I really did think it was cool that Maury was nice enough to do this for the babies....even if it is only a gimmick. He made their day that is for sure !)
cathieNevada 11/26/2003
Love your show - EXCEPT, I find it very unfair to have a continuation. Working people want to watch certain types of shows and take a break for them, THEN... Maury does not show the DNA answers the same day. The next day the whole previous day is repeated, complete waste of our time but we want the answers. Very Poor programming choice. When that happens, I simply do not turn it on, I never watch Jerry Springer because of allowing violence etc, Maury I think has tried hard to NOT BE Jerry Springer, but this one marketing tool reminds me of less than Maury Integrity
isabella_villa 11/20/2003
One day, when I was gloriously unemployed, I turned on Maury Povich and they had juvenile delinquents or something, and the solution that Maury proposed toward the end of the show was to have this huge black guy come out to yell at them - you know, the whole boot camp idea. But then, another time I turned on the show, they had teenaged racists as guests, and toward the end of the show, Maury says I want you to meet someone and sure enough, out comes the same big angry black guy to yell at them for being racist. Then, I saw an episode with teenage girls who dress like sluts, and at that point, I'm saying Bring out the big black dude to yell at them! Come on! Bring him out! Bring him out! And sure enough, he comes out and yells at these 12 year old girls for half an hour. Jeez, Maury, that's your solution for everything! Immediately. The whole premise is ridiculous. The scoring method is confusing, and the only reason it even aired at all was to try and compete with Millionaire. It didn't even come close. Maury really needs to stick to rehabilitating out of control teens - Twenty One is a bomb - not THE bomb - a bomb. There are five things about The Maury Povich Show you can set your watch on: 1)Teenage Paternity Tests shows:Usually the staple of Povich's shows and let me tell you if you are a male and coming on this show forget it.YOU are shark meat period.Case in point the paternity tests shows where some teen age guy gets an ear full from a former girlfriend on who is the father and they have them take a paternity test to find out.It is pure crap through and through the guy has no chance the audience,the girlfriend,and her parents are all against him and Maury hams it up.Jason,you ARE the father.If a guy is proven not to be the dad he walks out as he should not that Maury won't try to keep him around.Hey James James where are you going wait?!These shows are terrible and do more harm than good. 2)You Laughed At Me Before But Look At Me Now!These shows have some girl who supposedly looked like a nerd in school have a makeover and surprise former tormentors.Big deal just some girl with litle self esteem wanting to boost her ego.One of these shows had a sissy looking fat boy showing up as a woman after a sex change declaring he was and now is gay,gross. 3)My Boyfriend Controls My Life:Another show to pan men again this time as controlling hot headed boyfriends or husbands are blasted by their girlfriends and wifes for being too controlling and pushing them around all the time.I would suggest to one of these chicks to take a hike before subjecting all of us to your little dilemma,it might work to your benefit. 4)My Teen Dresses Like A Slut And Sleeps AroundThe mother starts crying abouts how her daughter dresses like a slut and sleeps around with grown men and there is Maury dispensing his wisdom along the way.Look at your mother Cindy do you think she likes what you're doing,do you?The girls just look awful and I wonder where they got their taste in clothing and sexual partners from? 5)My 12 year old need Boot CampIt has been mentioned previously by another poster and it is true this the worst.You have actual parents smiling and grinning as their kids are humilated first by the ugly black motivational speaker,then hauled off to camp for more punishment.They then comeback dressed up all nice with flowers and hugs for their oppresor Maury. In one case one girl,it has been reported,died while being in one of these boot camps,they overworked her and her heart gave out. Like any human being, I find it disgusting to watch fascist military flunkies scream, spit on, and force push-ups upon 12 year old girls. I have no doubt that those sadistic Nazis thoroughly enjoy having such power over little girls and boys. . Of course, Bootcamp, Bootcamp, Bootcamp! Also the fact that the show has no website at least not that I can locate. Maury seems to be the king of exploiting overweight toddlers. Anyone else think it's weird that the kids are always in diapers and nothing else. I remember reading somewhere that a mother on one of those shows was really mad because she told them she wanted her child to have his shirt on and the producers had removed his clothes before he came on the stage. By the way, how does one go about becoming licensed to run a boot camp? Maybe I could start one - I could get kids from Sally's show too. How 'bout it Maury? I could set up some tents in my backyard! He has received countless letters of complaints and requests to put the good stuff back in his show or I'd quit watching. why does this idiot insist on bringing on poor deformed and disfigured unfortunates (especially helpless children who have no consent to be on T.V.) and parade them on national T.V.week atleast Springer doesn't exploit innocent children for Money.
lexxy56 11/18/2003
An ok show but please NO MORE PATERNITY TESTS!!!!!!! He used to be one of my favourite talk shows...and to some extent kinda still is...but he's slipping..seems like he's caving and heading towards the junk talk shows. But once in a while will surprise you and have a half decent show.
Terri0605 11/14/2003
We already have a Jerry Springer show that shows the ignorance in today's society, we don't need another hour of it on a daily basis. What amazes me more than the pathetic losers you promote on the show are the people that actually tune in and show up to sit in your audience to view these disturbing topics of trash. Obviously these people thrive on other people's stupidity. I am so glad that there are other good things to watch in the same time slot. It is nothing personal towards Maury, I just thought he had a little more dignity than being shown on the show. Try an episode showing something good in life, it just may clear some of that negative energy people are carrying around with them.
tvtator 11/13/2003
Today on Maury Is my brother's best friend's hairdresser's father-in-law the father of one of my alien triplets?
panther101 10/31/2003
I LOVE THE MAURY SHOW. I THINK IT IS GREAT ALL THE THINGS HE HAS DONE. HE HAS HELPED MANY PEOPLE IN THEIR TIME OF NEED AS WELL AS HELP MANY WOMEN FIND WHO THEIR BABIES DADDYS ARE. SOME PEOPLE FIND THIS SHOW TO BE A DISGRACE BUT I SEE IT AS A GOOD DAYTIME SHOW FOR ENTERTAINMENT. SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF THE SAME TOPICS BUT THAT IS JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP ON THE SAME THINGS SUCH AS PATERNITY TEST. MAURY IS WONDERFUL FOR MAKING ALL THESE PEOPLES DREAMS COME TRUE AND I HOPE HE CONTINUES THE GREAT JOB!!
kaaeae 10/08/2003
Maury condones the promiscuity of todays teens who have sex with multiple men and doesn't have any idea about safe sex, by his catering to their search for the babies fathers. He should make them see that what they did was wrong, not applaud them for finding the father after testing multiple partners. This is encouraging teens to engage in such behavior. If they want to find the father, have them go to court and spend their own money to have these tests done. See if they'll pay to have all the men they have sex with at the same time tested. Maury should support responsibility, not encourage irresponsibility.
Louisa Russo 09/23/2003
I enjoy the show, because it is not smutty like most of the other shows.you show a lot of interesting things. Keep up the good work of not too much vulgar shows. A big fan
