The Springer show was the textbook definition of "guilty pleasure" TV. If you happened on it while channel surfing, you had to stop and watch at least for a few minutes. It had that irresistible, passing-a-bad-car-crash-on-the-road quality.
His "Shock Rock" episode with guests El Duce and GWAR is one of the greatest things ever broadcast.

After his talk show ended, Jerry also hosted a "Dating Game" style show on Game Show Network called "Baggage" that was pretty funny. I think they still show re runs of it on their Game Show Central sub-channel.
