Shows similar to Maury

Judge Judy Sheindlin's courtroom show may focus on legal disputes, but the interpersonal drama and often outrageous behavior of the litigants can be reminiscent of the conflicts seen on Maury.

A tabloid talk show that became infamous for its sensationalized topics and on-stage conflicts. Fans of Maury's dramatic paternity tests and relationship scandals will feel right at home with Springer's no-holds-barred approach to guest confrontations.

While adopting a more psychological approach to its guests' problems, Dr. Phil’s mix of personal drama and tough-love advice from host Dr. Phil McGraw appeals to viewers who appreciate the deep dives into individual stories that Maury also provides.

Fronted by Jerry Springer's former security director, The Steve Wilkos Show maintains a focus on serious issues such as domestic violence and sexual abuse, but with a more confrontational style of conflict resolution that dovetails with Maury's theatrical reveals.

Although it leans towards medical issues and health advice, The Dr. Oz Show often features sensational topics and personal stories in a talk show format, echoing the personal-element aspect that captures audiences in Maury.
