I can't watch his show anymore


I used to leave it on in the background (due to earlier shows leading into it) but no longer. After watching him shill for the Ramseys, I now have to change the channel. His voice and stupid accent make me nauseous.

I felt that way about him before this interview. It was the only episodes I watched in a long time. It's great that he allowed both sides of the evidence instead of jumping on the bandwagon to form an opinion based on the tabloids.

I used to watch it a long time ago but quickly realized he's a douchebag and doesn't seem very professional. Somewhere on youtube is a video of a real therapist ripping Dr Phill to shreds.

I used to watch him religiously until the episode where he exploited Shelley Duvall. There were plenty of others where he did the same. Shameful.

I remember an episode about a man who cheated on his wife, Dr Phil had the man followed and started the episode talking about how the man had lied to his wife and she became increasingly upset throughout the episode, imagining what her husband has been lying about. Finally, Phil revealed the man had stopped for gas and an old girlfriend happened to stop at the same gas station and they said hello to one another. That was it. The wife was in tears. At this point she had convinced herself that her husband was having a 2nd affair but it was just this coincidence of seeing an old girlfriend.

That's awful! That poor woman. I remember when Jerry Springer was a serious talk show and he actually tried to help people. I thought the same of Dr Phil. Now I just see him becoming another Jerry Springer.

"Dr. Quack" was taken, so they had to go with "Dr. Phil."

Wow you're right. It's crazy he's been on the air for 21 years.

What is his accent? I never picked up on an accent. Not like that hottie "Cash me ousside, how bout dah" Bhad Bharbie. Man I cannot believe she got rich off his show. She's legal now, I should go try to find her naked on OnlyFans.
