Who else doesn't like Dr.Phill and feels that the show is just one big advertisment? rolling eyes



Every time I watch the show hoping he'll say something useful I get disappointed! Man, is he really a psychiatrist? He seems much more talented in show business. Doesn't he?

Oh, one more thing, what is it with all the clapping? Is the audience really that excited and intertained? For God's sake comeon, the couple are being insulted and shouted at in public on TV and you guys are clapping? ... have some mercy, sheesh!

Dr. Phil is only good for one thing. Watching to improve English skills. Skip it.

And i have to agree so much drama there one can be thinking boy o boy never thought of it that way. wink

DrPhil is a self help guru . So mostly what he says is not taking as seriously but given a thought. And thats y he is famous. There is nothing espeical to him .

Actually from time to time they made some stupid mistakes and I just say where is the medical adviser of the showdisapproval
Also if you do at least 10% of what he has done you will not have a job as a doctor.
And yes I also see the showgrin

Dr. Phil is probably not getting as much credit as he deserves. the guy makes millions of dollars from his show so he must have some tricks under his sleeves.

"I used to watch ER. But my wife Jan made me stop. She said I’d watch before going to work at night, and would become agitated and upset and the way patients and illnesses were presented and managed. ‘No! Don’t do that! It doesn’t make any sense!’ She said it was making my blood pressure rise.

Ultimately, I learned from practice that most emergency rooms, for all the horror and misery they encounter, aren’t as dramatic as the one on ER. Most of us don’t scream at each other about patients coming by EMS. We don’t scream during resuscitations. We don’t brood over loss the way they do.

We walk into rooms, speak fairly calmly, do what needs to be done, then pass it off to someone else for admission and eat our pizza.

Furthermore, most hospitals have their share of sexual exploits and romantic adventure; but not as much as a show needs to remain on prime-time. I mean seriously, the radiology reading room? Is that what’s happening in the dark? I doubt it." ... Dr. Edwin Leap

"Take Dr. Phil—a guy who dispenses platitudes becomes a famous “advice-giver” for telling you the same things your grandma could. It sounds good at the time, but, like psychological Chinese food, it leaves you hungry for more. His advice, given its lack of specificity, can’t really help many. Psychotherapy is an intimate thing—it doesn’t play well in auditoriums." ... PalMD, WhiteCoat Underground

Provided your best friend is really your best friends even though he is from the dark side.

good one, i hate people try to make show by digging others pain, they make money out of others sufferings, they let people talk about their mistakes, and they sit there and judge and comment like " what the hec were you thinking", so unprofessional and moreover they act like they are there to help, and the clapping part is also annoying, well, what can you say, jerry springer also makes money ( and he was a mayor!!), you will wonder who will like those shows, some people do.
