Dr. Phil Show Sucks, so Why is it Still on Air?
Yes Dr. Phil show sucks, this from a person who is a regular viewer and visits the show's homepage regularly to get "updates". This realization didn't come suddenly. On show at a time, I began to see that Dr. Phil show is nothing but a hoax to launch books, diet plans, promote people and get those advertising dollars.
How many of you watched the show aired on October 3rd, the one with his wife Robin and the speakers from Women of Faith? That show was nothing but a pathetic attempt to promote Women of Faith and Robin. I am not saying that Women of Faith is some sort of negative influence. But the way that show lacked in material and presentation, and focused solely on the people behind the group and Robin is tell-tell sign that it was nothing but an advertisement for the group and Robin.
Now this is not the first time Dr. Phil devoted an entire show pushing this agenda. Some days back there was a show on his wife. Raving about her book and how great she is. Robin may be a good wife and a good mother but does American needs to know that? How does some trivia about Robin add to the show which is there to discuss about the life issues facing people? Things really went ugly when Dr. Phil and Robin started bragging about their son's wedding. For people like me, struggling to pay our bills, seeing his son gift a diamond earring to his bride was like a slap on our face. Why show off? Wedding is a PRIVATE affair, there is no reason Dr. Phil show needed to show off the wedding video.
Then there is Dr. Phil the diet specialist. As far as I know he is not a medical doctor or a nutrition specialist. So why is he giving diet advice to us?? We know we have to eat less and exercise more, not use food as an escape, and as far as I know Dr. Phil repeats the same thing in each of his diet show. Isn't it time the show is taken off air?
Shameless promotion of his wife, his books and his diet programs is forcing viewers to shun the Dr. Phil show. I believe the ones still watching the show are either totally in love with Dr. Phil or are staying put trying to find answers to their life's problems. I have nothing to say to those who love him but if you are trying to find answers to your problems, run as fast as you can. Dr. Phil has nothing new to offer. If you watch seven or eight shows, you will realize that.
It is time Dr. Phil show be scrapped; it has lost its edge (if any) and is stale as Paris Hilton tapes. So long Dr. Phil.

Post a CommentTo scott625 that is true. He does a lot of shameless promoting, when not of himself it's usually of something equally as shallow. I think the doctors focuses too much on plastic surgery and looking good. Also the come off as rather arrogant. Like that episode in which the doctors wanted to dictate to Food Stamp recipients what they can and can not buy. One of them mistakes his "tax dollars" as being some sort of donation and/or payment to the poor, when in fact that's not how the Federal Government even works. I'm glad that my tax dollars goes to help the poor and if they want to buy junk food that is their freedom. Sure I'd like to see them buy healthy foods but I think the Doctors came off as extremely Out of Touch with the common man. Also that show pushes way too much ALCOHOL, expensive beauty products, face lifts, and other shallow, hollow, aesthetic type stuff. The doctors are embarrassing their field. I wonder how many of them are actual real PhD's? And if so it's sad.
I hate shows like that because for 1. They are not appropriately addressing serious issues even if they pretend they are. 2. They are obviously capitalizing off other peoples pain and suffering. and 3. Dr. Phil totally comes off as an Attention W#@RE. When I was younger I sort of liked shows like this but realized that they are not as deep as they pretend to be. Shows like Dr. Phil are shallow, hollow, and usually the host is an "opportunist". Sure they may hook someone up with the appropriate help eventually but not til' they've aired their dirty laundry on national TV, or the host has had a chance to sooth his Super Hero Ego by talking down to the token bad guy, or making someone feel horrible for what they did. Sure if the appropriate setting the perpetrator should feel remorse but should learn from it, not be used as a public example of how great and so much better Dr. Phil or any other host is. Dr. Phil is needy, arrogant, and self righteous. He capitalizes on others.
Liked Dr. Phil initially. Shows were good. Controversial, covered a wide range of topics. Now pretty much his show has turned into a whipping board for women.Every show is some woman blaming men for every thing wrong in their lives and Dr. Phil agreeing with them.I guess the shows are that way because his producers and staff are all women.They pretty much sabotaged a pretty good show.Just very annoying now. Dr. Phil caved to the pressure.Time to go Dr. Phil!
What about Dr. Phil's shameless promotion of The Doctors? You know why? He got his son Jay a job as producer and now promotes it every day on his show. Shameful, sick of his family on the show all the time.
OH boy ....he likes his MOM, she should have slapped some sense into that egotistical no it all.
his old lady sticks around for the paycheck which will disappear just like she will

ONCE A RECORD HOLDER OF LOSERVILEE.... ALWAYS A TOTAL PIECE OF FULL OF HIMSELF LOSER. LORD MAKE HIM GO AWAY!!!!
I used to like dr. phil, but he's gone hollywood. He and robin are no longer relatable.. You can tell phil just likes to hear himself talk and he is too busy patting himself on the back for all his "accomplishments"- that i have to turn the channel. Robin.. facelift, lipo.. all her crazy spa stuff she does and remodeling her house every other day.. just not relatable anymore- they are not sincere but come across as stuck up.
I watch Dr Phil every day just for laughs.
He's a total buffoon and Robin makes me want to hurl. GO DR PHIL
dr phil is a quack he is a fat ugly slob, who is a major asshole!
You can't fix problems on a 1 hour TV show, and I think the worst part about this is people are making themselves look like fools and idiots on live TV. Pretty much everyone going on the show is looking for attention and maybe some of them "make fake problems" As for the diet stuff, Dr. Phil looks like he needs a diet, he isn't in shape and looks fat.
