Sam Spayaid February 18, 2020 Share February 18, 2020 Wow! Today's show covered all the bases; shilling for No. 7, complete with "company beauty expert" and touting the accomplishments of his son. Since I missed most of it, did he also pat himself on the back for his: books, how long he's been doing this and that it is definitely NOT his first rodeo? What a hack! What a joke.

Now don't forget the ever popular Cat Fishing episodes spotlighting incredibly stupid people who handed over their life savings to some idiot they have never laid eyes on, a dead beat son/daughter who lives in a car, is addicted to meth/smack/crack/booze, is completely subsidized by very stupid parents, has never held a job and the sucker parents got stuck raising their grandchild/children, an out-of-control asshole teen but I guess that's been covered in the above quote or, last but not least, a husband/wife screwing around.

Burning Rubber February 21, 2020 Share February 21, 2020 Sorry, I can't watch shows where the topic involves people that have been tortured. It's too upsetting. Where are the so-called teaching moments? Urgh. I'm not fond of Phil arguing with delusional people either, while the audience laugh. Today's episode was a case in point. The guest had serious issues and was not treated with compassion. Her family, her niece excepted, were more concerned about themselves and her father was a bit of a clown. How do they know she wasn't raped? She was delusional so it's hard to tell. 2 Link to comment

Not so Pretty Ending!

Otherwise, the old bat will be parked in their home for life. The one on Wednesday might be fun too, where the woman blew through $250k in less than a year.

I wonder what is the payoff for that kid's behavior when he is dirty, foul-mouthed, etc., etc., etc. And when they send him away to "detox" from his addiction to video games, the parents bring him home after 9 days because it's cold and it's like a boot camp. (In other words, exactly what he needs.) Dad is so dysfunctional he "passes out" whenever a hard decision needs to be made, and Mom thinks the answer to the son's threatening behavior is just to lock up all the knives. I hope the older son stays away. These folks have created this mess, and are not willing to proactively do anything to fix it. 7 Link to comment

kicksave February 25, 2020 Share February 25, 2020 I wish a kid like this was "acting" for the cameras but I can say that all three of my kids have known kids like this when they were in elementary and middle school. Both of these parents are woefully dysfunctional as parents. Good grief...they have zero parenting strategy or skills with which to deal with their son. Not surprised they allowed him to leave this wilderness camp after nine days. I've seen this particular program showcased a few years back on TV. I forget the network, might have been MTV...anyway...it's located in the Northwest and the "hikes" are in the desert of Oregon and in the surrounding hills. They sleep in tents and the weather is brutal. Very rugged camping and conditions for kids like Nico. Most get through it but others cannot hack it. Frankly, I think Nico would have been better served to be put in a therapeutic residential treatment program/school where he gets therapy, schooling and therapeutic activities like horseback riding and caring for a horse or another ranch type activity. Now he's back to square one with all the dysfunction and the physical abuse/anger that is raging around him and to him. And...he's getting older and bigger. It's scary to think that he could be one of these lone wolf "incel" guys in a few years using the internet to buy guns and using them...Dr.Phil goofed on this one. Wrong place for this particular child. 7 Link to comment

CrazyInAlabama February 25, 2020 Share February 25, 2020 Does anyone else think the current episode about "My Mooching Mom has 5 Months" is fake? The daughter is so clueless, the boyfriend is a fool, and the whole thing is just bizarre. The mother getting banned by QVC for using several accounts, in the daughter and other relatives' names is called identity theft, and since the accounts weren't paid, why isn't there anything on the show about collection agencies, or fraud charges? Plus, if mommy dearest is told to leave, she's not going without an eviction notice. The mother is a total fraud, and I'm wondering if everyone else involved is also. I could have skipped Dr. Phil's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, fortunately, I got to the mute button. Link to comment

Yep. You BUY IT....YOU DON'T EARN IT so just yet another thing he has to bluster about. In keeping with my theory about the show being mostly fake, haven't you ever wondered why the same above-mentioned camera crew are always there to witness the screaming, shrieking and general bat shit crazy behavior of this person at home?!!! I'll just let that sink in and mention that a friend of mine got banned/blocked from the Dr. P. Face Book page for expressing views that were "too honest" and questioned everything from Phil's credentials - still under scrutiny - to these phony "at home" sneak peeks into this idiot's life.

As for the Dr. Phil credentials, he hasn't been a licensed therapist in years, after his ethics issue where he used to practice. During the Britney Spears hospitalization, when he made all kinds of statements about her, a complaint was filed with the California licensing board. Their ruling was that Dr. Phil was an entertainer, and not bound by the confidentiality rules a real therapist must follow. Here's an article from that time, and it discusses the licensing issue for Texas, and California: https://www.foxnews.com/story/dr-phil-reportedly-under-investigation-in-britney-drama Edited February 27, 2020 by CrazyInAlabama 1 Link to comment

I know a family that has a son on the spectrum and this kid's behavior reminded me of him. He is definitely developmentally off and there were other things like the lack of eye contact, the obsession with gaming, no insight into his poor hygiene, no friends...he might have Aspergers. Sticking a kid like this in a wilderness boot camp would be catastrophic. From what I've read, the Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza, was an Aspie, albeit on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most dysfunctional, he was probably an eight...he had much the same life as this kid. Obsession with violent video games, dropped out of school, no friends, dysfunctional relationship with his mother that some said was abusive on his part, isolated and used the Internet to troll and convey violent thoughts to strangers in gaming rooms. If I can see this, why couldn't Dr. Phil? And again...shilling for the PNP Center and sending the Dad there. Dollars to donuts the father never went there...BTW...reviews for PNP Center are terrible!!!! 1 Link to comment

AZChristian February 28, 2020 Share February 28, 2020 There are often times when they are showing a graphic of something on that large screen (not where Dr. Phil and his guests are sitting). I WISH they would STOP swaying the camera back and forth when they are using that screen. When people are trying to read, they do NOT need motion. It detracts from the purpose of the graphic - to provide written information clearly and easily read. If they stopped with the movement, they could even enlarge the graphic a bit, as they wouldn't have to bother showing the large pedestals/supports on each side of the screen. /rant Link to comment

JudyObscure March 3, 2020 Share March 3, 2020 Today's "Drunk and Denial" woman was clearly an alcoholic, and hopefully she will get straightened out, but I hope she isn't going to do it for her grown children because she could be sober for years and they still wont let her visit if she smells like smoke. Most AA meetings are blue with smoke because many of those in recovery smoke like chimneys. It helps them deal with things. I lost sympathy with her son when he mentioned the no smelling like smoke rule.

Why was that not even touched upon yet in practically every one of those "candid shots" she was guzzling from a hefty sized drink and I don't think it was Diet Coke! No mention of the dangers of mixing opiates with booze - a no-brainer that I'm surprised Dr. P didn't catch. That one moment....."I've got some real mind-blowing, super-heavy duty shit to tell you......" but it's gotta come....AFTER THIS NEXT COMMERCIAL!!!!!!

Lebanna March 10, 2020 Share March 10, 2020 That sounds like an extremely good idea. I always assumed that the audiences for this show were mostly tourists.

b2H March 10, 2020 Share March 10, 2020 I am always leery when they don't have an audience because it usually means it's another exploitive, exclusive interview session with someone or on something I just don't care about. What they should really do is suspend taping of the show for a few weeks in its entirety. They have enough programs available for re-runs to fill the time slot. If it means they have an abbreviated season or it goes longer than normal, so be it. It doesn't help the guests that have to fly there to be protected from exposure. 2 Link to comment

kicksave March 12, 2020 Share March 12, 2020 The estranged daughter of the man who was charged and imprisoned for his wife's death and then exonerated and released when his friend confessed to the crime was horrible. She accused her father of abusing the mother based on the words of her grandmother and other maternal relatives that did not like him...she made an accusation with no evidence. She mentioned nothing about the fact that her mother was having two affairs with two different men the time of the murder. I was appalled at her demeanor towards her father and the way she treated him. The guy was working three jobs at the time to support his family for heaven's sake. He was wrongly accused of a crime he did not commit and she's sitting there accusing him of physically abusing her mother with no first hand knowledge just the brainwashing of her grandmother and other relatives. I really feel badly for this guy...he's in a lot of pain. and his daughter is just an awful human being. I hope he can move on from this and find love and comfort elsewhere...his daughter is not a nice person. 4 Link to comment

She's probably in a lot of pain herself. Link to comment
