"Who's my Daddy" TV show

[lovebug]

You know I agree with you about Dr. Phil. I used to watch his show because my wife liked it.

 I noticed when he started the weight loss challenge during the last season. It was all about selling product. He stated in the very first weight loss challenge show that "weight loss industry is a billion dollar industry" I began to think that he decided to jump on the band wagon because I saw so much weight loss stuff that he began peddling. Energy bars, meal replacement drinks, His weight loss book, etc. It was down right disgraceful. It was as if he was saying "yeah there is a market for weight loss. Let's get in on that." I know he didn't say that and I know that many people found help in following his plan but he has lost all credibility with me and my family.

Now he is doing this families first thing. Notice how he wrote a book and then picked a town in texas(where he is from) to help. His show is just one big infomercial. "Buy my book so you can save your family".

And I alway notice how he answers things by starting "In my book Self matters, or Relationship rescue,etc......." I just want to tell him to stop being a salesman and give the answer.

When I saw you and Will on his show the one thing I noticed was how he promoted that Marks lady's book. That interview had nothing to do with her children or what was best for them. It was an endorsement of her book, "Buy her book so she can fight for her children" not one word about the issues in her case or the way she behaved. I was outraged.

I have watched Dr. Phil almost none since October. I can't get passed it. I've used that hour to play with my children or help them with their homework and help my wife with dinner. So I guess, you could say, that I am putting my "Family First".

Ha!

Excellent!

Maybe you should email Dr. "buy my book" Phil and let him know that he helped your family by being a shmuck!

Many have become unimpressed with the show. All about money. The promise of help to children, and then backed out. It says a lot for his character.

And you found a much better way to spend that hour...kudos

"Children learn what they live"

Thanks! I think so. I was just talking to my wife about it and we were wondering what next seasons theme/Book will focus on....It will be interesting to see that.

Notice how he never said that his audience should put their family first and turn off the TV and spend time together. Well I can't say he never said that because I haven't been watching. In any case, I doubt that he has.

Maybe I will. I'll have to think about how to word it.

I don't even have to see the show to tell you it is a stupid show. I am sick to death with all this reality tv garabe producerws are cramming down our throats not to mention the masses of people who enjoy watching the drivel.  These shows set forth terrible role models for kids (lying, cheating, stealing and back stabbbing are all a part of winning), and they do not lend to the imagination or teach anything positive. I hope this thing is a passing trend and as far as I am concerned the sooner the trend passes the better.

I can't believe people watch all these so called reality shows.

Let's see we have "who is the biggest looser" "Switching Wifes" "Survivor" "Who wants to marry my dad" and so on.

Give me Forsenic files and and the history channel and I will watch them any day of the week.
