Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a map of the existing debate on television talk shows within media studies, and to delineate the range of positions currently available within it. The reason for this is to firstly introduce the reader who may be unfamiliar with this field of study to the range of issues which, when considered collectively, can shed a bright light on the nature of confessional talk shows as well as the critical responses to them. So, while I may disagree with certain positions held, the talk show debate highlights the matrix of processes at play within the programmes.
