Love triangles? That's old news. Try love quintets. Try one involving your girlfriend, her best friend and your half-cousin, your male best friend, and his lover, who happens to look like a Prince-wannabe. Welcome to the world of Jerry Springer--the king of the schlock TV talk show.

If you're only going to buy one Jerry Springer tape, this is the must-have. Not only do we get Jerry himself, sitting in his office chair while puffing on a stogie, telling us the behind-the-scenes tidbits (for instance, the show actually was meant to be a serious talk show replacement for Phil Donahue's slot), but we get clips of the many wild shows, including the one Jerry considers his most outrageous: "I Cut Off My Manhood." (The guest in this one, tired of being preyed on by another man, turned his pruning clippers to his own body, relieving himself of his, well, "manhood" to discourage his stalker.) In 65 minutes, see highlights from shows such as "I Need to Tell You This," "Confronting One-Night Stands," "I'm Sleeping with Your Man," and the ever-popular "Guess What ... I'm a Man!" This is by far the tamest of the on-video Springers--the curse words are still bleeped out--but the peeks at Jerry and his stage manager and his director of security make this most well-rounded and interesting. --Jenny Brown

For British viewers who are fed up with the over censoring, then this video is a must. The fights are up close and uncensored and there is a good interview with Jerry.
