I sat up way past my bedtime to watch Jerry Springer: The Opera last night, and I thought it was very entertaining, though more for novelty value than anything else. Twas hard to tell the difference between it and a normal episode of jerry Springer. For a bit of intertextuality (or whatever the word is when threads are involved), they mentioned Dr Phil on it ("he's shit", was the relevant lyric). David Soul was brilliant - he was Jerry alright.
