Dr. Phil may not lose his show, but his credibility is long gone

The rumors that Dr. Phil could lose his show over his latest stunt – where one of his producers paid $30,000 to bail out a teenager arrested for beating another teen – are getting the “shot down” treatment today. After MSNBC’s The Scoop circulated the possibility that Oprah’s Harpo Productions has been looking, for months, to ax their deal with the show, Fox 411’s Roger Friedman says that ratings are just too strong to see the show get killed. But Dr. Phil’s shoveling $2.4 million in tax free cash into his charitable foundation in 2006, and then distributing just $450,000 of it? That will nicely spark a new daytime controversy.

If he has no credibility, he may aswell just be cancelled, now.

Mr. Phil owns his show now. Oprah's Harpo Prod.
isn't involved anymore. And I heard on the news
that although it was a 30,000 bond, bail was 3000
or so, and that is what they paid.
I really can not stand this guy and he needs to STFU!!!

When did that assclown ever have credibility?

He has the second highest rated daytime show, after Oprah. Who is watching this Creep? And, Radar has him earning $91 million last year - second only to Oprah - think about that - 91 million! Why the hell is he so popular?

He is the douchiest of the douches. If that's even a phrase.

**crumpet** · April 16th, 2008, 10:06 AM

The stay at home mom types seem to love him.

**louiswinthorpe111** · April 16th, 2008, 10:10 AM

Ok Dakodas and aabbcc, I watch also. Although I erase every other episode because I don't care about the topic.

I have to watch him because it's my job, and he's
a hack and a quack . He tries to humiliate the guests
most of the time instead of help them. He is going for
shock value, and actually tries to start fights with
some of his guests, while claiming he's being calm and
they're the one with the problem because they get,
imo, understandably defensive.
