** In 2002, TV Guide referred to the Jerry Springer Show as the "worst TV show of all time". Soon after, Springer began to embrace the "endorsement" by introducing the show as "worst TV show of all time" at the start of each episode.

** That said, a vocal part of the fanbase feels like the show's salad days was from approximately 1995-1999, when the show still tried to maintain at least the ''appearance'' of being a respectable talk show with a warm set and an upbeat theme song, creating a significant dissonance between the setting and the show's content. Thus, in their eyes, this trope is played straight when the show started leaning ''hard'' into the "Trash TV" motif in 2000. The number of pre-2000 episodes that now circulate in reruns may support their argument.

Added DiffLines:
* PeripheryDemographic: Springer was popular with children home sick from school. Other daytime TV shows (such as ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' and ''Series/JudgeJudy'') had this reputation, but Springer was much less family-friendly. Most kids ignored the {{content warning|s}} at the beginning of each episode.
