Dr. Phil. Love him or hate him?
I like the guy. His advice takes on a no bullshit approach, he's not overly condescending and doesn't seem to be pushing any type of agenda.

9. He is a Repub
I actually kind of like him, but I was annoyed when he had Paula Jones as a guest once on a show about scandal figures and what they're doing now. Yuck.

6. Loathe him! He's making a shitload of money by telling people what
is so fucking obvious to begin with! What a scam!

BTW, what chutzpah! Selling a book about weight loss when he's way overweight!

7. I can't stand him!
I think he IS condescending. I think he's rude and hurtful.

I also think he sold out when he started selling diet supplements and such.

To be honest, I've never watched his show nor have I seen him on anything other than the occasional Leno/Letterman appearance. But from what I've seen, I wouldn't want him talking to me about my weight loss. I think I could tell him a thing or two.

I consider him the "flavor of the month" in tv psychologists.

Edited on Sun Feb-29-04 06:40 PM by qwertyMike
The Larry Saunders Show?

Guy: "That girl in the front row has a nice rack"
Larry:"That's my girlfriend"
Guy: "Nice rack"

11. Not for me...
he's too soupy...and so judgemental about what is right and wrong. People like to be abused like Dr. Laura used to do. What is it with people?

12. He creeps me out.
I've only got an occasional glimpse since I watch TV so infrequently, but he seems to have the "look" in his eyes that many fundies have.

I wouldn't want to be stuck on an island with him.

13. Think he's kind of a jerk
He went to my high school. Apparently the class after us asked him to come and speak and he flat out refused. What a jerk. We got a different jerk instead. Richard Myers - Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. So you learned something new today - both Richard Myers and Dr. Phil went to my old high school. Awesome.
