Jeremy Kyle AXED

    Whether it's been axed or pulled, it's my tabloid headline and I say (dramatically) it's AXED.

    Did you read about this? Jeremy Kyle's show. It's been AXED after a guest killed himself. West Yorkshire's most popular news service, Examine 'er Live, has said that:

    https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/tv/jeremy-kyle-guest-found-dead-16271198I
    Mr Dymond took a lie-detector test to convince his fiancee he had not been unfaithful but they split after he failed, according to The Sun.

    ITV said staff at the broadcaster and the show's production team were "shocked and saddened" at the death and the episode will be reviewed.


    As someone who grew up with the Jeremy Kyle Show, I have to say nothing could punch me quite so badly in the guts as to have this AXED. It is an institution.

    What do you think of this? What are your fave Jeremy Kyle moments?

    AXED

    When it was AXED.

    It's a weird format, made in the USA. Anytime I've seen it I'm always amazed that the people want to be on tv discussing how moronic they are in all its lurid detail.

    Really? Isn't it just TV about peasants, made for peasants to watch?
    Maybe you grew up with it, but shouldn't you have moved on since?

    I wish it was a real axe :(

    It looks like they are waiting for public feedback, no definite decision made yet.

    I hate the show and it's premise. He is so nasty.

    If there is no public outcry the show will survive. They won't be showing the episode in question however. A TV show is a business, waaay too much money to be made.

    Maybe you should have moved on from calling people things like peasants.

    I don't care what kind of economic category you've placed me into, I love it.

    Its not your economic category; its your mental one.

    Jeremy Kyle is not just entertaining tv for the simple minded,
    If fuels a philosophy that its ok to cheat steal and Lie, all will be forgiven in the end once you go on that show. You say its just tv, but its planting seeds in back of your mind that this sh1t is normal. This seed may never come to bloom, or one night, when your arseholed, and brains not 100% your morals are depriciated because of the normalisation of the scum you watch on tv.

    Its a disgrace and glad its gone.

    Next, its time to axe the soaps.

    Jesus he is a twat

    I feel sorry for some of the dreggs of society that end up on it. Half of them clearly don't want to be on TV in the first place only for "the other half", so to speak, so desperately wants it.

    It being axed would be amazing. But they'll just make something new like it with a new presenter called Keremy Jyle

    Yeah grand, but at the start of the thread shall we just clear one thing up? Epithets against economic status or mental health are childish (literally, sadly), but that doesn't matter since I have about as much shame as your average Jeremy Kyle contestant anyway.

    Can't believed I've missed my opportunity to apply, tbh.

    I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of unemployed suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly bored and unsure about what to do with their afternoon.

    Jeremy Kyle is a ****, show is a circus that takes advantage of people.

    Good riddance to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,123 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    I bet there was some weeping and wailing in the dole queue when that news broke.

    Totally agree, it was an exploitative show that used very dubious methods. His singular goal was to create car crash tv, he didn't want to help those people.

    Lie detector tests are unreliable and a man may be dead now because of a very public humiliation for something he may not have even done.

    I'm only surprised something like this didn't happen sooner.

    AXED

    That sounds like child abuse.

    As to the subject in question, my only regret is that it wasn't done literally.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    There was some weeping and wailing in the canteen this morning when the news broke.

    Thankfully I was alone before the others arrived.

    AXED

    don't you mean anyone who likes it belongs in an institution??
    It's exploitive TV at it's lowest and lets not forget it mirrors Jerry springer which was axed for the exact same reason when a guy went home and shot
    himself... so what's to like really? you need to get out more if that's a staple on your TV diet TBH.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,942 ✭✭✭topper75


    I find the show mildly amusing. Great to tune in when eating your breakfast whilst 'sick'.

    I'm especially tickled watching this camp-voiced guy wearing a suit and protected by bouncers fearlessly shouting lectures at utter council scheme scum. Like a kitten meowing at lions in their enclosure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,437 ✭✭✭Old diesel


    He treated the lie detector result as the absolute truth.

    I wonder how many prople have had inaccurate results.....

    For example you failed the lie detector but were telling the truth.

    Or you lied through your teeth but managed to pass.

    If lie detector tests were beyond question - then surely the Courts and Gardai would use them.

    The reality is that the show highlights the chronic unemployment problem which Britain has had since Maggie Thatcher closed the mines down. The grandparents and parents of all those participants were former working class, whose livelihoods were taken off them in the 80's.

    The remnants of that decision is what you see on the show now. It was decided that it would be cheaper to increase the social welfare budget than what it would be to keep the mines open. So they did. 30 years ago they would have all been too busy working away to have time to have been giving sly blow jobs to their cousins boyfriend down the back of Wetherspoons. There would be no TV show otherwise.

    The show is literally full of white unemployed trash, it is really sad.

    All Jeremy Kyle does is stand there and shout at them, he is nasty.

    I'm fcuking delighted, he was a scumbag

    "Ladies and gentlemen, the Clown Show has been put on hiatus for retooling."

    It will be reviewed and the production team will include an additional term in the waiver forms, the legalese of which will say in layman's terms "You confirm that you are of sound mind and you have no immediate plans to kill yourself as the act of you doing that can get our program, which will bully and badger you, into serious trouble and by signing this you absolve the Clown show of being liable for your suicide"

    What I liked about it were the glimpses at honesty.

    It's precisely why I enjoy boards.ie threads about people describing in hilarious and graphic detail how they took their latest shít


    I don't mean to sound pretentious (another thing JK Show hasn't suffered from) but such honesty is the epitome of human freedom. If you try to find a common thread, you'll see all of his guests were existentialists. They knew people saw them as trash, but they only cared about their own values, and they pursued lives they sincerely believed were ideal.

    Marvellous people, and I mean that sincerely. Their 'kind' has probably always been representative of the most successful human, and always will be.

    I'm aware this post sounds like a troll, that's genuinely not intended. I think JK guests have tended to be themselves, and fairly honest, and natural. They've been that most elusive thing -- real.
