Dr. Phil

Sometimes Dr. Phil finds a subject that was never up for discussion. Well if you are looking for a needle in a haystack. And he is absolutely good at his "one-liners" in his shows. Sometimes it feels like a rerun, but then one notice that the stage is different and the people saying their lines different. It is "troubled teens", People getting ripped off by fake people. I think a show called "Catfish" has that on the show. Gullible old people. I think it is time to find a new topic. Or is that just NOT POSSIBLE ! What is not possible is to rate Dr Phil Show more than "2" (two). Promotes his own books and his wife's project a.s.o. It has become a commercial promotion program for products. And it is the same ones all the time. Time to close shop, OK !?

Saw some shows that triggered me to raise my rating from 1 to 2.

I use to really like this show and make time out of my day to watch it, but they lost me over a year ago.

It just became too repetitive and predictable. 45 minutes laying out a dysfunction, a minute satisfying the audience with a few words undermining the nemesis and then a free trip to a fix-it farm.

On and on it goes to where all the problems bleed into one repetitive array of voyeurism about lives that are too negative to be of interest or true business of my own.

Beauty products and makeup sales along with the latest must have book tuck neatly into time slots to satisfy the entranced fan.

Phil has value, just a very tired and worn out format and show.

Here's how I see the show. Talk about the problem. Ok, THAT is good. But, once the issues are addressed, WHY CONSTANTLY CIRCLE around them?

Just keep an eye out for this pattern. There's NO significant progress, RIGHT UNTIL the next Ad Break.

"We'll continue... after the break."

Me: "REALLY? No!" Just switch channels, when the show comes on. No need to thank me. You're welcome for the eye opener.

I lost respect from him after he bailed those six girls that beat up Victoria Lindsay out of jail. Where's the outrage there?! I say we cancel his show for that and put those six girls back in prison. They need therapy alright, shock therapy! All that was over the boy. When someone cheats on you, suck it up. They should be focusing on their school work rather than boys. There's people with kids missing and they are crying over a boy.

Dr. Phil is the most deplorable person on television. He exploits people's mental illnesses, addictions and problems for the entertainment of his millions of viewers. He occasionally offers real outside counseling to some of his guests, but not others. I recently watched the show (for the last time) and he had a very troubled woman on as his guest. He did nothing more for her than make sarcastic comments while looking into the camera and trying to elicit laughter from the audience. This woman was clearly emotionally, mentally and intellectually challenged and he had her on for nothing more than a freak show. He is a charlatan and a bottom feeder. What he does every day on his show is at best unethical, but most certainly immoral.
