Having experienced the hilarity of the Maury Show more than a decade ago, I feel this update is…read morenecessary given that the place looks so much nicer and the people running it are killing it. It simply wasn't the same animal from a venue standpoint but things are definitely looking up as they've revamped the experience for all potential visitors and regulars. Back when it was simply the Rich Forum, it was like a lot of tv studios I've seen in my time: dated, worn down, and somewhat of a facade from the outside world. Fast forward a quick 10+ years, they've updated the whole joint and made it comfortable with padded chairs, partitioned guest areas, a true lobby, and even updated the bathrooms. Then of course, there is the Maury Show itself. They have done an outstanding job catering to the studio audience by keeping things light hearted and entertaining. For private groups greater than 20, they'll even send a bus to pick everyone up. In our case, we were able to enjoy some pizza from Fairfield Pizza (https://www.yelp.com/biz/GsK0e9ynHbf1TnASKUPhsA), soda / water, and our own sectioned off space. If they have extra time, they'll even throw in a tour of the sets, which is definitely amazing. And the other kicker? The shows are complimentary and for many folks, this is a bucket list item that lends itself to one hell of an experience. I've never really looked forward to a trip to Stamford, but coming here is always a real treat.

"You're everything I hoped for You're everything I need"…read more(Billy Preston) Let's be honest, if you are going to see a taping of the Maury Povich show, what do you hope to see? Well, I definitely saw everything I hoped for! Think cheating spouses, lie detector test results, paternity disputes, STD bombshells, audiences whooping and hollering and whipped into a frenzy -- it was like a gift that kept on giving. When you enter the building, be prepared to go through a security gate and a metal detector -take every single thing out of your pockets. You'll sit in a big waiting room that reminded me of an airport gate, except instead of CNN playing on screens, we saw wild highlights of antics from prior shows, and we had a host who had a lot in common with a nightclub DJ inciting the screaming crowd to near riot conditions. You also need to know to use the bathroom because once you enter the studio - you can't leave -its like Hotel California. The pre-game festivities included audience members coming up onstage to dance before the cheering crowd, and a T shirt toss. A producer helped us practice the obligatory crowd noises -lusty booing, sympathetic "awwwwwws" and supportive cheering. It was so much fun. Finally, Maury came walking onto the stage, to wrap up his 21st year of the weirdest show on earth. Think about that- 21 years of these shenanigans! We saw three tapings of sad tales of marital infidelity, extra-curricular impregnations, outrageous lies, lie detector failures, STD revelations, and a whole slew of outrageous confessions and reveals. Ralph, the lie detector technician, was dressed in a suit and tie and sat in the third row center, and at the appropriate time delivered the lie detector results as though he was a Supreme Court judge. It was tremendous theater ! So I will look you straight in the eye and tell you I had a totally entertaining time watching this human train-wreck take place. #maury21

We take a yearly trip to NYC, so he always signs up. This year, we scored and got tickets. We actually signed up for two days and got into both. Mon had the better guest lists (at least in our opinion) so we gave up the other tix. It's a process to get in, so nothing too surprising. The earlier you get there, the more of a chance you will sit closer. All in all, we were out by around 6:30pm. Tho they did add a game that was going to air on a another day with I believe the One Piece cast? A good experience if you are into talk shows. It's free, and we got a jar of carbone sauce due to mario carbone being a guest. What's there to complain about? REVIEW #4000

This was a fine experience. I'm not really a Fallon fan but the experience of watching a 'live to…read moretape' recording was pretty interested. We didn't have tickets, so we went to the gift shop at 30 rock through the 6th ave entrance to score some stand-by tickets. We arrived what I would call late, at about 11am. If you want to get these stand-by tickets I'd recommend arriving as close to 8am as you can, because every ticket is numbered and they can only fit so many people into the studio (they will always try to fill it). If I recall correctly the tickets said to come back to 30 rock at 3:15 but note - if you arrive a bit later, say 3:30, it won't effect your chances of getting in - the most you can do to increase your chances to see a show that day by walking in is to get there at 8am when they first start giving out the numbered stand-by tickets. Also, while they say you cant bring in bags, I had a smaller sized north face backpack and my friend had a large plastic bag and a small purse. If your number gets you in to see the show that day, you will pass through security like at an airport. Everything is extremely orderly and organized, the only stressful part is 'am I going to get in to see the show or did I just spend an hour and a half of my day for nothing.' My friend and I just got in under the wire, with the guy behind us being the very last person to stand-by for this day's show (there were about 56 stand-by visitors accepted that day). You will have an opportunity to use a bathroom before you sit for the filming, so don't be concerned about that. If you're a fan of TV or of Fallon you might prepare a question or two to ask him, he took a number of questions from the audience. The funniest one was 'are you going to use that entire bit you just did' because Jimmy and Drew Brees spitting pumpkin seeds went on far, far, FAR too long, about 3? minutes, which was about 2:45 longer than it needed to be. Jimmy was quick with the 'no, that's going to be edited down.'

The CBS network executives had decided to end the run citing unspecified financial reasons.

I do wish the Food Network would reduce (or better yet eliminate entirely) the amount of "competition" shows and game shows. I've been pleased with most Food Network branded products I have bought over the years and have enjoyed most of the Food Network books I have purchased, especially "The Food Network Test Kitchen Cookbook!" I loved Chef Robert Irvine's "Restaurant Impossible," and "Dinner Impossible" and was absolutely elated when Restaurant Impossible made over a restaurant in my county called "The Main Dish." We couldn't wait to visit the restaurant after the makeover and it was really good, especially for the small town it was located in, Meridianville, Alabama. Other chefs I enjoy are Ree Drummond, Ina Garten, and I like some of Giada De Laurnetiiis' recipes. Who can forget Food Network's sister channel, "The Cooking Channel" that airs/aired fun shows like "Bitchin Kitchen" with Nadia G., "Extra Virgin" with Debi Mazar, and my favorite, Bobby Deen's "Not My Mama's Meal."

Whether I was relaxing, looking for inspiration, or just had it on in the background while cooking, Food Network was always playing. It actually helped me grow in the kitchen...learning new techniques, flavor combinations, and getting creative with what I had on hand. I also love the variety of shows they offer. From high level competitions to simple, everyday recipes, there's something for everyone no matter your skill level. It's not just entertaining, it's motivating...especially if you love food or work in the culinary world. Even now, I still find myself tuning in.

Horribly distracting. The WORST place to stand or sit near if you're in the back of the Orchestra (latter rows)! Two, if you sit along the left wall (Orchestra), there is an alcove of sorts closer to the front of the stage. There is a TV in there (WHY, I don't know!), that is left on during performances. If you're in seats along the wall, you 'will' be distracted from the glare of the television light (as I recently was back in Row N!). Lastly, lobby bar prices are INSANE: $38 for a single serving CAN of wine and a single serve bottle of Prosecco. We had just come from a very nice restaurant and paid well less than that for quality!
