OK, so yesterday I listed six bad things about four good shows, so I thought today I'd flip it around. Even bad shows have good aspects.1. Jerry Springer. I could probably plug a dozen other shows into the number one slot, including Dr. Phil, Tyra Banks, Maury and others, but let's go with the classic. There's one good thing about this show: it makes you feel infinitely better about your own life. If you're feeling bad about something that's going wrong in your life, maybe you've had a fight with your significant other or you've lost your job or you've lost your wallet, just turn on this show. Within five minutes you'll be saying, "wow, I'm glad I'm not any of these people." (Cops gives me this feeling too, but I actually like that show.) And that includes the people in the audience.
2. Pam: Girl on the Loose. There are two things that are really great about this reality show. I'll leave it up to you to guess what those two things are.
3. The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. "Headlines." And that's about it.


1. Oh, I think you're being a little tough on Jay's show. The band leader gets a good line in every once in a while (unlike the host).
