it seems like he has had nothing but problems lately and i stopped watching his show a long time just because it seemed like it totally changed and just became any other type of day time show.. seems like all he does is try to boost ratings and i dont really respect that.. am i the only one that thinks its only a matter of time till he is off the air??

I have never really been into watching the Dr. Phil show,even though my mom and my friends mom watch it so,sometimes me and my fiance will watch it with them,and from what I have heard it is going down hill,and they are doing like everyone else and just trying to boost there ratings,because they are losing a lot of viewers,even though every once in a while,they will have a good show,that it well worth watching.

Yeah I know what you mean most of the time there is nothing good on the show,so it is always better to find something else to watch,even if it means watching reruns you have seen at lease one hundred times,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I think that he has his good ones and he has his bad ones. I generally like his outlook on things, but I think he could be a little more open minded at times. I'm glad that he takes care of the people on his show in ways that other shows don't.

yeah.. i didnt know it but found out he is behind that "the doctors" show that i think is on abc and his son jay is like the producer or something.. i found that odd but i guess you have to stay busy.. just hope he doesnt spread himself too thin

I really like Dr. Phil. I agree that some of his topics get repetitive but he has helped a lot of people... more than just the ones you see on tv. People at home are helped just by watching his show, and reading his books. I have read a few and he really does make a lot of sense. I don't think he is on his way out, though all shows do come to an end at some point. And his marriage isn't ending. Don't believe everything you read in those stupid tabloids.

my mom saw it on the news or something about his wife and him.. i liked him at first but it just seemed to get too obsessed with ratings and him wanting to be more controversial like when he bailed out that teenager that beat the crap out of another girl with her friends

I heard recently that he and his wife have broken up / separated. If it wasn't for Oprah - Dr Phil would never have been an International household name. I don't think he will be around as long as Oprah anyhow...

he has pissed off oprah for awhile now.. he didnt even invite her to his sons wedding years ago.. and yeah they are divorcing because from what i hear his wife doesnt wanna go down with him on the sinking ship of his career and they are talking about her having her own show and she has been selling books etc..

Well, i havent gotten to watch dr.phil for a long while. but when i did watch him. i loved to watch it because what he would say to them was wonderful advice and i thought it was the right advice... the last trouble i herd that he got into was when he went to go see brittney spears in the hospital, i guess and revealed to much about her condition on the air... other then that im in the darl.lol i dont have cable...
