34 year old me on my lunch break - this is good

SNL did a good send up this.
GuileAndGlory
My favorite one of these had a plot twist: a woman had slept around and was unsure of who the father of her child was. The man asked for the paternity test because he *wanted* to be the father. The test results confirmed that he was the father, and he just broke down in tears of joy. They brought the toddler out on stage, and the couple and child just hugged and cried together. Loved it.

There was a bit on one of those shows where a lady was accusing her SO of being lured from her by another woman's turkey tetrazzini. She kept repeating "turkey tetrazzini" throughout her appearance. My daughter and I were screaming with laughter and we still quote it.

The Apprentice WAS weird, I agree

My granduncle once traveled through the Australian outback with his friends where they met a lovely lady. They all had sex with her, and she got pregnant, so they had to figure out who the father was. This was a time (1950's) when paternity tests were not available, so they decided to draw straws. My granduncle drew the shortest straw, and that is how he became the father of a baby-girl. The story does not tell if they ever did a real paternity test when these became more widely available.

Trash TV got us where we are today!

I never feel bad for somebody who is trying to put responsibility on someone they had no dedication to, sometimes knowing they arnt the father.
SheWhoRunsWithRaptors
I mean, I don’t exactly feel bad for the guys when they were the father. They both decided to have unprotected sex, and not being dedicated doesn’t mean you don’t have a responsibility for making that child.

Maury with the phobias: tinfoil, cotton balls, peaches, etc were the best

Ill be honest I was rooting for the guy more than the woman. Because most of those woman have an attituded that just pissed me off. Funnily enough I feel like I got more shows of the guy BEING the father instead of not the father.
SheWhoRunsWithRaptors
I always hoped they were the father because I wanted what was best for the child. Not saying a single mom can’t do it alone, and not all dads are good fathers, but at least having some extra money from child support would help.

daytime tv was like a massive slow motion train wreck. you should not watch it happen but you cant look away.
adventureswithadhd
And a whole lot of prescription commercials for old people. And medical alert items.

oh jeah. my mom was a major hypochondriac, she basically had a new terminal disease every 20 minutes.

Had she ever gotten help for mental illness?

Weirdly enough, given his pioneering work in trash TV, Jerry was an extremely dedicated, liberal Democrat.
Rocketpocketpants
Before RFK was shot, he actually looked like he might eventually go for the presidency, after RFK of course. But I believe the assassination got to him and he seemed less interested in politics.

Kids today don't know the joys of the Price is Right

I remember my elementary school was a block away and visible from our porch, so I always walked to and from school. I got home first and the TV was either on the end of Warner Bros', the start of game shows, maury/Jerry springer, or days of our lives soap opera shit. Weird imagining that now as I have multiple apps to choose whatever I want to watch, whenever and wherever I want to.

I would lose my shit every time they pulled back the curtain on Plinko. The hype was real.

Kids in The Hall mixed with game shows got me through many a sick day

Every time someone bid a single dollar over someone else I'd be mad. Like, fuck man, it's not against the rules but it's a dick move.

Kids is Price is Right. Teens is Maury and Jerry. Adults is Events in Florida.

Jeopardy was my go to. That way I was still learning something, and often times more than I learn in school.

They were on at different times though. Price is Right was like 11am, but Jeopardy was like 5pm, when afternoon cartoons were already going.
