Dr. Phil STARTED OUT good his first 3 or 3 1/2 yrs. Common sense with textbook offerings with good stories & scenarios. He turned sensatonalistic pop-pychologist with kleptomaniac biker moms and their drugged out, flipped out daughters (exaggeration but not by much).
He allowed his producers to start running the show and it all went hell. BUT ... what can I say -- it's a media source.
