Are these shows a good thing or a bad thing?
I think observing heated disputes from a third person disinterested perspective is an education in social psychology and is a good thing.
Bloody entertaining too. To be perfectly honest.

I think these types of programs are pointless voyeurism unless you are going through the same scenario.
Why would anyone find "Katy slept with my dad's best friends" interesting unless they were directly involved or knew the parties involved.
I don't find two groups arguing about personal subject matter entertaining. If I did I would go down the pub and watch it there.

I agree with Ethel and think these programmes serve no purpose whatsoever. There are only a certain type of people that actually go onto these voyeuristic shows and, as such, I don't think they educate us in social psychology that we don't know already!!!!
Once you have seen one of these shows, you have seen them all. Boring, boring, boring.

If I am working from home and end up watching it I usually despair that these kinds of people are allowed to procreate and often have 4 or 5 kids at a time.
Yes, its an elitist statement and perhaps a little snobbish but would you really want a 19 year old lad reproducing for the umpteenth time when he doesn't actually realise that cheating on his g/f iswrong?!

Sadly, human nature dictates that we do derive a certain pleasure from others' misfortunes - this concept after all is the lifeblood of any soap opera.
Real life situations however, are different, and I do find them unpleasant, regardless of how often the programme makers set themselves up as 'helpful' by offering counselling.
If the counselling was as good TV as the riows and fights, we would all watch that, but of course, the 'presentation problem' is the interesting bit.
I find my attitude is the same as boxing - I do watch, and to a degree I enjoy wathcing, but I am not happy with myself for doing either.
Similarly with both - I will watch if they are on, but I don't go out of my way to see either.

I think this is quite unlike watching people in an asylum. Many of the problems are roughly typical of a problem a large number of people will face: cheating/being cheated on, questions of paternity, questions of drug/alcohol misuse. How is that like looking at mad people in an asylum. Kyle, for example, encourages people to get to the root of and confront personal underlying issues that have led to the behavioural/situational end result. I see educating people in this kind of process as a positive outcome.
Apart from that, it's still entertaining.
When someone has a problem, and the person who is seriously involved with that problem then comes on and confronts them, they often seem to do so in the same manner, so I guess that bit seems very 'coached'.

It's was a tragedy before they came on the show, this is life for a great many people, and it educates many about the real state of affairs in the world around them. I find it entertaining because it provides me with an education into how people 'work'.
I find soap operas dull beyond belief, maybe that's just me. I also think Kyle does a pretty good job. Springer seems pretty made up, Trisha is too dumb for words.

I think the judge was lenient because the guy had suffered a cheating wife and the little cheater got what he deserved. If you don't want headbutted don't sleep with married women. What fine was given to the other guy for seriously disrupting a marriage? Far worse suffering than a bleeding nose, that, yet he gets off with it.
