Most were in playful mourning over the end of Maury, though. It might not have been high art or the ushering in of a golden age for television, but it was an important chapter. "It was one of my dreams to be in the studio audience of the Maury show and now it's all gone, all my dreams vanished. Wtf man?!? I've had so many dreams dashed and this.... I can't anymore," one wrote. "I don't want to live in a world where we don't know who's the father or if someone failed the lie detector test," another added.

Of course, with all the praise and nostalgia, there were plenty of folks who were too cool for school. All of them miss the joy of never knowing if you're watching a new episode or old episode.

If this one seems downright cruel, you're not wrong. But these folks do sign a release and know what they're jumping into. At least you hope so, especially in this woman's case. And the case of the woman frightened of cotton balls. "I never imagined I'd be living in a world where Judge Judy and the Maury Show aren't on air anymore, those shows just felt immortal," another user added.

It's certainly easy to feel bad for everybody involved in these episodes, but we are also well aware that these reactions are not reality. The people are real, but the cameras are running and folks know where the bread is buttered on the show. "the scenarios that they be havin is so crazy and messed up like 'the girlfriend cheated on her boyfriend with his dad, uncle and brother, she got pregnant but know they don't know who the father is' like wtf," a fan added, noting just how out there the show could get.

A lot of folks were thinking of the long-suffering camera people who worked on Maury. "Those camera people on Maury must be happy they been running for years," one user wrote.

A lot of people couldn't help making fun of what could be considered Maury's catchphrase. It lives right next to "No Whammy" and "Set It and Forget It" as phrases you can pinpoint immediately. "Uh oh! Better go sell all of my shares in the DNA Diagnostics Center. The bubble has officially burst," a user wrote noting the end of the show's testing.
