Have they ever reported the failed ones no only the ones that were scipted to suceed so how is it that you think he gives good advice he gave advice that he had to prepare for he knows whgat is going to happen before it happens other wise why go to commercial I am sorry but when you go to see a therapist do you expect to hear excuse me its time for a commercial when you are shelling out hundreds of dollars to him or her.He should hit on some real issues he is so good go to iraq and talk to our troops over there while avoiding being killed.

he is a person on television that gives advice to people and insults intelligent minds as well as makes his self look like a stupid case.He can read a script and that makes him a therapist.

I like to watch Dr Phil some of his topics are very resourcefuk to me and some others I can't stand, so if one of those is one i just change the channel.

I personally have mixed feelings about Dr. Phil. Sometimes I'm disgusted with him but yet I still watch his show! The other day he had a mom and dad on the show and he was coming down hard on the dad for not paying child support. He wasn't hardly giving the guy a chance to talk. The guy said he was concerned with where the child support money was going, he made a good point but Dr. Phil just shot him down. It seems like he already knows what he's going to say to these people before they come on his show. It's like he's just full of witty meaningful punchlines.

I don't watch his show, because I do not like him. He is rude and mean, people come on his show for help, I have seen him treat people horrible. I have tried numerous times to give him the benefit of doubt, I still don't like him, he is sill rude and obnoxious and mean.

I think that sometimes Dr. Phil needs to give people a chance to speak a little more, but overall I think he's a very intelligent man who tells it like it is. I think that when he comes across as being rude, it's just an act for the show..

I don't know alot about him, I don't like his personality. So, I can't really say I enjoy watching him on tv.

I do watch his show sometimes here in Sweden and I do find it amusing att imes. Sometimes he can be rude, but most of the times I think that he has to because the people expect him to.. On thing that really annoys me though is the fact that he in EVERY episode walks out hand in ahnd with his wife, just to shiow, hey we are happy.. i don´t get it, doesn´t she have a life of her own - I would be sooo bored sitting there for hours everyday listening to my husband nag =)

I'm a fan of Dr Phil and of his show. I think he has helped many people, probably more that are at home and watching him. He is very insightful and really makes you think. No I don't think he is rude at all. It's the opposite I think he is very kind and just tells it like it is but in a respectful way.

I think he is great. He tried to help me at one time and I didn't have to appear on his show. His advice to me was exactly what I needed to get on with my life.

He's rather crude and too straight to the point. I was an audience in one of his shows and if ever I was one of the guests there and he's bashing me with his "know it all" speeches just because he's "Dr. Phil" then were immediately gonna have a stage like Jerry Springer. People are there to seek answers and opinions, not orders! He's like a bulldozer, crude but effective. Although I like the idea that he tells people what they need to hear but I wish he'd do it in a more professional manner because after all, he is a "Dr."

personal opion is that he don't know anything that he can't script I can do what he does and at least to some egree have an understanding to tell someone just pick up the pieces and go on where does he get off telling that to people how would he like that slammed back at him if his wife or something was took from him then you would see what he is made of.As you can tell I am not a fan nor will I ever be.

I watch him daily and think he has a lot to offer all of us. What may seem rude to many I see as being a little abrupt, and absolutely no-nonsense honesty. Some people need to be brought up short when they try to manipulate and gloss over important issues. He can only help those who are ready to be helped.
