Eye for an Eye

A lot of people disregard television programs of this nature without truly understanding what a show of this tone really represents. On one hand, it is simple entertainment, but at the same time it shows the necessity we need for escapism and "mindless" entertainment. If everything aired was 'education' or 'thought-provoking,' we would be overstimulated with too much information. It is actually important for one to take time out to "veg" a bit and let our minds catch up. I was having a horrible day and was simply channel surfing when I stumbled upon Extreme Akim and his notion of true justice... I became an instant fan and catch the show constantly. I recognize what it is and fully embrace the entertainment value instilled within. Most don't realize that Jerry Springer was mayor of Cincinnati and was even a newscaster there for years. When he began the Jerry Springer show, he knew exactly what he was doing, giving daytime audiences precisely what they needed, and Extreme Akim is no different.
