Silly me.<\/p>\n

I thought Game Show Network<\/em> was supposed to be a bunch of old ‘classic’ game shows with a few new ones sprinkled in.<\/p>\n

I turned it on the other night by accident, looking for Nick at Nite<\/em>, and saw none other than Jerry Springer hosting a dating show called Baggage<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you something, America’s Got Talent’s<\/em> gain from losing Springer a few years back is NOT a win for Baggage<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The two minutes I watched were the old Jerry Springer most of us came to loathe when the ex-Cincy mayor hosted his own show.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qrsFT2wJ-kA<\/a>\n

With the sexual innuendo around him ripe and rampant, Springer sat back, laughed and took it all in.<\/p>\n

Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

Makes me wonder how Springer got rewarded with the America’s Got Talent<\/em> hosting gig before he was replaced by the MUCH BETTER Nick Cannon.<\/p>\n

From what I saw Baggage<\/em> should be rolled up and tossed away for good.<\/p>\n

More garbage from Jerry Springer is not what TV needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
