Geraldo Rivera/Defunct Talk Shows - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This talk show has came accross my mind alot, recently.

I remember Geraldo but he was more serious that Jeery Springer, more like Maury or Oprah.

Anyone remember?

Also, he used to always have satellite cameras of people in jail frequently.

That added an element to the show's character.....a guy or girl would be filmed live in prison and the guests on the panel would interact with them.

The tagline i remember went something like this, "Where we don't duke it out, we talk it out!"

I miss that show.

Anyone else have similar memories of now defunct talk shows?

I remember Danny Bonaduce's talk show. It was ok, but the thing I remember most about it was the black and white checkered floor they had. It was trippy.

Wow I remember the Geraldo show. I appeared in the audience 3 times....

One show I liked was that big mouth guy. The one who use to yell at peoples faces. He use to smoke alot. He talked about everything under the sun.
