I'm kinda fascinated by how "Dirty Talk" is gonna shed some light on the wild world of '90s and early 2000s daytime TV. It's crazy to think about how those shows were like this big, messy experiment in ratings and drama - and yet, there was a real human side to it too. I mean, Maury Povich actually genuinely cared about making a difference on his show? 
That's a vibe that's still missing from modern TV, you know? The docuseries is doing a great job of capturing the era's influence on pop culture and how those shows paved the way for reality TV and celebrity culture. It'll be wild to see how it resonates with new generations 
Nowadays, it feels like reality TV is just a normal part of our lives. Has anyone else noticed how much daytime TV has evolved?
. But seriously, I love seeing documentaries like "Dirty Talk" that bring back memories for people who grew up watching those shows. Maury Povich seems like a really dedicated guy, and it's awesome to see him talking about the impact his show had on people's lives. It's also interesting to think about how those shows paved the way for reality TV and celebrity culture 
.
Can you believe it's finally coming out? 20 years ago I was stuck at home with my aunts watching Maury Povich's show because our parents were out "running errands" (code for not wanting to spend time with us) and now here we are, an adult version of myself binge-watching a docu-series about the drama-filled world of daytime TV 
... but I guess it's kinda cool that they're bringing it back now. I mean, Maury Povich was def a master of the drama game 
. But let's be real, it was also super exploitative and sensationalized 
. Still, I'm down to watch this docuseries and see what all the fuss is about... January 14 can't come soon enough!
, and now it's like they're taking us back in time 
. Maury Povich is literally a legend 
, and his dedication to making a difference on his show is so inspiring 
. I'm loving the idea of getting an inside look at how those shows shaped modern pop culture 
I'm both fascinated and grossed out by this docuseries "Dirty Talk" at the same time 
. Maury Povich's story is definitely interesting, especially how he made a difference with his show by uncovering the truth... but let's be real, some of these shows were straight-up drama-filled trash TV 
. Still, I'm curious to see this docuseries and learn more about how it shaped modern pop culture 
it was like a guilty pleasure or something
do you think anyone under 30 would even care about these old shows?
i think its cool they're bringing it back though, it's like a time capsule of how far tv has come...and yet some things remain the same 
.
. I mean, was it really that groundbreaking to be pushing boundaries on TV back then? 
. I love how the docuseries highlights his dedication to making a difference on his show, even if it was just about uncovering paternity tests 
. I'm definitely watching this three-part series when it premieres! 
. It's like, I get it, he's trying to make a living, but sometimes I think we're giving too much credit for being "daring" when some of these shows were just plain manipulative
