The biggest freak show in town is about to get a little less freaky.

When "The Jerry Springer Show" begins production of its 18th season next month, it'll be missing many of the oddballs and bizarre characters who've been regulars on the Chicago-based syndicated gabfest lately.

Gone will be the legless man who walks on his hands, the guy dressed in a Big Foot costume, the plate spinner, the mime and the puppets, among others.

It's all part of streamlining the program and emphasizing the conflict among the main guests.

Richard Dominick, executive producer of the show, also plans to drop the multiple stories in each program and return to the old format of one story per show.

"We've always reinvented the show every couple of years," he told Television Week. "This time I felt that I wanted to go back to the basics of focusing on a single storyline over the course of a show instead of going in a bunch of different directions."

Production on the show, taped at NBC Tower, resumes Aug. 11.

I hope they are not trying to create a show that people would take more seriously-lol


That would be like-"Going to a Bar to Study for a Test"

LOL

This show is like WWE Wrestling, it's all fake.

I'd like to see how long this lasts-LOL. I didn't even know Jerry Springer was still kickin' new episodes out. On the other hand, old-school Jerry Springer was not that bad.

are you say The Jerry Speringer show is going to Return from when it first debuted 18 year's ago.

I had no idea his show was still on the air. :crazy:

I guess bored housewives or house husbands must watch something.

When the show first debuted in 1991I throught it was going to last a year.

Or teenage boys. My son says he can't wait til he's 18 so he can get tickets to go. :rolleyes: If it becomes a respectable show he's going to be pretty disappointed. :lol:

Why anybody would want to watch some clown like Jerry Springer is beyond me, but to each his own.

Oh dear. :eek: :lol:

when the Jerry Springer Show first debuted I guess WVUE throught it was to basd for daytime because WVUE aired The Jerry Springer Show weeknight's at 1:05 am Central Time.
