I heard that Phil McGraw show is ending this season.

I've usually seen the last two minutes or so of his shows when switching to the local news. And his demeanor and way of talking just turned me off.

Decided to check out the show today since they also moved his show from 4pm to 10am now.

So far the show is nuts. It is about a guy that pays to help release models that have been kidnapped that were going to meet him. This James guy is insane along with McGraw.

I have to wonder if there is something medically wrong with McGraw.

1. Is that Dr. Phil?

Oprah's revenge?

Never seen the show, but understand it is about as low as TV can go

[LiberalFighter]

2. It is. He just draws it out and out.

The James guy that got scammed is really stupid.

McGraw just rambles on and on.

3. My wife, for reasons I can't begin to fathom

enjoys and actually records his show. Over the years she's tried to show me one or two eps that she thought would be of interest to me, but that corn pone schtick of his was absolutely grating and I bailed before long. In fairness, she probably wonders why I like college hockey the way I do.

4. My wife watches it for amusement.

Fortunately, she doesn't record it.

5. My dad and mom like Dr. Phil.

I can’t figure out why. His “advice” is generic and generally not all that useful.

6. He's like Jeffrey Tambor on The Larry Sanders Show

In every sense. Weird.
