How funny. I was just coming to post and ask how the show was because I missed it today. I was curious how he does without Oprah.

i saw about 20 min. or so and it was ok.. in wasnt impressed with the advice he gave the waring couple..the husband did nothing around the house and the wife was expected to keep peace..all for the sake of the son(baby).. but doesnt this teach him to treat women as worthless. just my opn. but if it had been me iwould have told him this has to change or im gone..then i would do it

i dont know if any of the forms members r in or were in this situation. how did u handle it?

I could take it or leave it.

Well I guess I am different. I was home from work today sick and watched the Dr. Phil show. I said to myself if I was home all the time that would be the one show I would watch. Oh, Well I guess everyone is different.

I LOVE Dr. Phil!!! I was so excited that he got his own show! I will be faithful! The show was good,but give him time to get it going. He will be awesome.

yes being his first show you have to give him alittle time to find himself. it wasn't bad. i will keep watching.

I missed the first show today!

I was so looking forward to seeing it and fell asleep about 15 mins before it came on!

I am an Oprah / Dr Phil fanatic. I liked the show today but agree he need more time to get comfy with it. I also thought more advice could have been given to the hubby/wife. I agree with making life better for the baby of course. But more could have been said for thier relationship.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE DR PHIL!The last couple was me and dh to the t!Sad but true.I think having a show like this is great and will help a lot of people.Plus I think he's a riot.I think my favorite one on oprah was where the husband paid his wife for sex.LOL Didn't you just want to smack him.

**mustang80** · 09-17-2002, 06:39 AM

My favorite was the henpecked husband where the wife told him he could only have 2 sodas per day, had to fold her jeans a certain way, blah, blah, blah. What a #$$&%! Dr. Phil put her in her place!

Their was this episode on Oprah, where this husband and wife were on the verge of divorce, cause of her spending! It is my favorite doctor Phil moment. The hubby makes 100k a year, and they're in debt, cause the wife had to have new clothes for her kids every day! OMG, I wanted to slap that woman

**sixfreds** · 09-17-2002, 08:16 AM

I LOVE dr. Phil and saw parts of the show, the kids wanted to play ouside so I couldn't watch it all cause I had to be out with them BUT I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!
The only thing I would change about his show is the time, It's on a bad time for me otherwise I would never miss it!!
I am thinking about taping the shows, so I can watch them whenever...

That poor husband. I felt so bad for him. Didn't she have like tons of bows for her daughter's hair? And snuck shopping bags into the closet?
