The Most Important Talk Show!

The Steve Wilkos show is nothing like any other show on television. It deals with serious issues going on in the world today and it doesn't attempt to sugarcoat these problems.

Steve is a former marine and police officer and those experiences help shape the show. If there is one word to describe his show it is: accountability. Steve holds people accountable for their actions regardless of whether you are the offender or the victim. If you are not making smart choices he will call you out on it.

The main reason this show is excellent and so important is it is one of the few shows that really is all about helping people. But not only does Steve help people, he confronts the worst the world has to offer without holding back.

Steve has dealt with drug addicts, rapists, pedophiles, spouse beaters, and out of control teens on his show. Up to this point I have seen no other show that gets results the way Steve's show does.

Another reason the show is so good is Steve's character. Unlike some talk show hosts that are only out for ratings or seem distant, Steve genuinely cares for the guests on his show. People may not believe that by the way he acts but the man has taken time to help people get off drugs, to stop prostituting, fixed relationships between children and parents, and he has also helped women get away from men who were abusing them. So Steve is a good man who's heart is in the right place.

Critics contend that Steve is nothing but a bully who screams at people. However they fail to realize that there is a reason Steve acts the way he does. And that reason is he tells people what they need to hear without beating around the bush or being soft. His tough love tell it like it is approach may not be the nicest but it does get results.

So if you do not like to see evil people put in their place by someone who means business and is unwilling to sugarcoat anything then don't watch. But if you like to see a good man dole out justice and handle problems the way they should be handled, then the Steve Wilkos show is for you.
