I have never quite forgiven Oprah for unleashing Dr. Phil on us😜

@tansy  ROTFL!  I didn't mind him on Oprah but his show takes advantage of people like Shelley Duval.  I don't find him more than a moderator now.

 

And that head-he looks like he ran away from Easter Island.

 

Ok I'm just sayin'.

Oh @grandma petes please keep posting as you said/did nothing wrong.  Lots of opinions/viewpoints on a given day, please don't take it personally as most folks don't mean it the way it may be translated by someone else  . . . Smiley Happy

Thanks so much mtc. Your kind words made my day. 😊

@grandma petes so very glad to hear that my friend, you  come back here whenever you want as we will be more than glad to see you! Smiley Happy

I can remember my first thread on the forum. I made the mistake of not familiarizing myself with the board. I got pounced on so badly I never replied once and didn't think I would ever be back.

My problem with Dr. Phil as many of his shows are helpful as I know I appreciated watching many of them when I was sorting out issues with my family after my mom passed but he also has a tendency to dumpster dive into areas especially during Sweeps Week that ruins whatever credibility he may have during the rest of the year.

I think of him as an "ambulance chaser." He'll follow a celebrity to the hospital for ratings.

I started an off-the-wall thread one night when I was new that went bad quickly.  I *suggested* that all posters with a long nic should change to one with no more than two syllables so the nics would be easier to type.  Thud!  I still remember two posters fondly that tried to rescue me from my bad attempt at being humorous 😜😂

I cannot stand Dr. Phil and his phony persona .  I can't believe his show comes up with all these bazaar stories.  He could probably afford a million.  I wish his show was cancelled.  I never watch only see while I am surfing through channels.  I am really disgusted with doctors turning to be hosts of a TV program too.  All they want is the money.  Cat Tongue

His show doesn't come up with the stories.  Real people come up with their stories.

If you don't watch the show why would it matter to you whether it was cancelled or not.

Yeah, when people work all they want is their money.  Helps to pay for medical school.

@momtochloe, I had belonged to several other forums, also, and was taken aback. It's enough to make you blink, though! Woman Wink

Well, I can tell you, @SarahW, it must have been a really bad thread b/c not one person supported me.
