Very Cool!!!

Pretty Good

hyped garbage

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Another of a long list of shows that devolved into nothing more than a Jerry Springer ripoff.Research all of the daytime hosts and check out their background. This will explain a lot.Sally Jesse, Ricki, Springer, etc. = nothing but a waste of time to parade around goth kids yelling at their parents, fat morons with adolescent idiot kids who should have been aborted, along with the show and the parents and hosts alike.Such a sad society, that has resorted to 500 shows like this for ghetto and hillbilly stereotypes to sit around and watch parodies and examples of themselves on TV.

I really miss this talk show. First off, I must say that it was an okay talk show. Also, I haven't seen every episode. However, if you ask me, it was still a good show. I know some of the theme song by heart, too. I didn't enjoy every topic that Ricki did. Still, I enjoyed watching people get busted. It was especially fun watching people get reformed. That's what I liked most about this talk show. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I haven't seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

Ricki Lake started out as an actress parlaying her obesity into a novelty. The fat novelty could only last so long in films & TV fare. So she lost some weight, but still acting jobs were scarce. So she decided to become a hip talk show host. The concept was fresh & innovative in 1993. "Ricki" even spawned the rip-off "The Tempestt Bledsoe Show". This "hip" show stayed on the air way past it's expiration date. The show got stale quickly. One annoying aspect towards the end was the lie detector dynamic. Ricki really beat this one into the ground like a dead horse. It was like watching the same exact show daily. Dolts take a lie detector test & their partners find out whether they cheated or not. UGH! Another major problem with this show was Ricki Lake herself. The woman is as fake & plastic as the day is long. You'd never know she was an "actress" by watching this slop. The idiotic faces she'd make to show "concern", "understanding", etc. were appalling, false, & calculated. She'd also shed a crocodile tear or two, & laughed that phony laugh. She was also a puppet-head. Any fool could have been doing her job, because 90% of the time she was reading cue cards. Thank goodness this trash finally ended up in the TV dumpster in 2004! (If you'd like to see my thoughts duplicated, practically word for word with some extra gibberish thrown in, read what Raysond had to say).

For those of you who don't watch "Ricki Lake" simply because you think it looks corny, you are way too narrow-minded. There are a lot of much worse shows. She looks like such a nice and wonderful person, you have to enjoy. I don't quite know what it is about her, but I love her.
