Daytime television is a wonderland of quack medical advice, paternity tests and “reality” show drama, and those who tune in to these midday broadcasts aren’t expecting to have their faith in humanity restored.
I've been known to watch a daytime show or two just for kicks, but I soon realized that you don't have to sit through an hour of awfulness when those informative chyrons tell you all you need to know in an instant.
Chyrons are text banners that appears on the lower third of the screen, and if you look up "TV chyrons" online you'll discover they present you with all the reality TV fun in an instant, without commercials or filler content.
But before you go searching for some laughs check out The Soup's collection of The Incredible World Of Daytime TV Chyrons, featuring comedic descriptions from classic shows like Tyra, Ricki Lake and, of course, Maury.
