Dr Phil

Therapy? I don't think so. All I see is a guy who likes to yell at his guests. I sure as heck ain't gonna pay a therapist for that kind of treatment so why are the networks paying for this kind of show. I was raised to believe that when a person is yelling at you - just walk away. Dr. Phil may understand psychology but he sure don't know how to treat others well. He likes to belittle others by calling them "a loser", and "you're worthless". Maybe this is for ratings but if I'm going to buy therapy it won't be from someone who puts me down.

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.

This host is unbelievably self-promoting and unethical. He hasn't practised for years and his behaviour has resulted in many participants on his show being abused in sick ways.

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.
