| | TV Talk Shows |
 | | As these shows are cheap and easy to produce (a presenter, a research team, an array of bizarre guests plus a studio audience) TV companies are happy to meet that demand. |
 | | New shows are continually being launched, fronted by a bewildering array of ex-politicians, movie actors, comedians, pop stars and career presenters, and just as frequently being cancelled when they fail to hold their audience share. |
 | | These shows purport to deal with the reality of human existence, and provide a forum (involving contributions from the presenter, guests, members of the studio audience and telephone callers) for the discussion of what is wrong with humanity. |
