The John Walsh Show is a wonderful show! John Walsh is a wonderful man, and he is doing a lot of good for people all over the country. Who else is half as dedicated? I applaud him!

For the person who said that this show is crap, they obviously did not watch enough episodes to come to that conclusion. Maybe they are a Springer fan. HA! I don't know, but this show is the best talk show I have ever seen, and I'd like to see more shows that talk about serious issues instead of people fighting over who is having sex with whom.

Is this show on the air anymore? I would really like to catch it and tape it everyday. Every episode is really interesting and helpful.

Best shows I ever seen!!!!

I watched this show for the first time today (A case of not taking a moment to change the channel after the previous show), and-- if this is any kind of a sample of what is usually aired-- this is *bad*.

It's mainly seems to consist of the typical, talk-show "Here are these people with dreadful problems that we are going to solve," minus the solution. On today's show, he paraded several families that could be described as troubled, although to varying degrees. After hearing all their ills, Walsh refers them to counseling and tells them how "proud" he is of them for airing their dirty laundry on television. As for his viewpoint-- apparently he feels it's perfectly acceptable for parents to tap the phones and read the mail of teenage children *without* having first really tried to communicate with them. *Then* the parent confronts (for the first time) the errant teenager on *national television*.

Hello? What kind of kid is going to open up after *that*?

Summation: Perfectly dreadful show, severely misguided advice, and a second-rate wanna-be. Avoid it!
