Dr. Phil

What is with this guy? He is an arrogant, self-righteous man who thinks the entire world worships him. First it was the Brittany Spears fiasco, now he bails out one of the ringleaders/participants of the girl beating incident. Oh yeah, he claims it was done without his knowledge; beilieve that and I have a piece of oceanfront property in Arizona I'll sell you......... I hope this incident gets this creep off the air and shows the American public his true colors.....................

I feel he's doing it for ratings. I still can't believe that people voted this guy as one of the most important people in that survey a year or so ago on television.

I agree with David Letterman when he called him "that boneheaded Dr. Phil".

I think most talk show hosts are very adept at stirring the **** pot. The controversy is what keeps the people who hate them and love them watching.

Just my opinion, I don't watch any of them.

I view him in the same light as Jim Cramer... they're both 'carnies'.

If you took out all the B.S. from Dr Phil you could bury him in a shoe box............

i can't believe people believe some of the crap he spouts. i think i've seen about two episodes of his junk and that was because i was too polite to get up and leave my friends house cuz that's what she wanted to watch in her own house. *shaking my head* we argued over the matress surfing episode and i haven't watched it since.

The funniest thing about Dr. Phil is that he's not even a licenced psychologist.

He is the anti man!! He is a "step" above Maury, Who is a "step" above Jerry Jerry!!
Why do people watch this show all he does is ask questions and then says Why????
They don't get paid, but they do get sensationalized to all hell and they are most
definately coached on how to act. Sure get anyone in front of a broadcast quality
camera and they are going to start really acting out, Most likely with the few lines you
feed them and get them into a certain mindset. If you watched that show from a mind
control perspective you can see how he leads the horse to the water and they do drink!!
The grandeur of being on the prime time tv will screw with peoples minds and let them
do things they wouldn't do in normal circumstances. Don't watch the show especially
if you have a major cable company digital tv box, it tells on you and is the neilson ratings
box and let's the company know what you are watching and recording and it sells that
info to the other corporations and of course it trickles down, Eventually Dr phil hears
about it, "we are moving your show phil to a different slot", until the next dr phil comes
around and wouldn't you know it Oprah has another doc in the wings!!

this is a guy that gives advise on just about every aspect of life. he hammers on fat kids, and gives relationship advise to couples.

hes currently getting hung out to dry by his soon to be ex wife. and last time i checked he doesnt look like hes ready to be an underwear model.
