Dr. Phil and Robin
Do any of you watch Dr. Phil regularly? I watch or at least have him on most days while I'm on the computer. I really like his advice...most of the time.. and I like his wife Robin too. The only thing about Robin, when she is on the show and talking, she sounds like every word that comes out of her mouth is a script. I just wonder if she really talks like that or she is actually reading what she says.
Anyway...I'm a Dr. Phil fan and just wondered if anyone else is.

I am a Dr. Phil fan, too. I like the advice he gives and I really do use some of his advice in my own life. However, sometimes I think that Dr. Phil can be very cocky. Did you see the episodes he did a while back about weight loss? He was on there dogging the rest of his family! And, a lot of the time I think his advice is common sense. I mean, I could tell people most of the things that he advises simply because it is common sense. Also, I really don't know what to think about Robin and their marriage. Do you think their marriage is really as good as they make it out to be? Do you think Robin is somewhat of a pushover? I mean, Dr. Phil seems very overbearing. How could their marriage be that perfect unless Robin was somewhat of a pushover? Did you know that Dr. Phil's son married a playboy bunny? I sometimes wonder what Dr. Phil would say to someone he is counseling if that happened to them instead of his own son? Would he still support it? I'm definately not one to judge, but I just don't think that anyone's marriage can be that "perfect," if you know what I mean. If it IS that perfect, then that is FANTASTIC! There needs to be more "perfect" marriages in this world.

You're right, most of his advice, as far as I'm concerned is common sense. But that is a lot of what's wrong nowadays. People just don't use common sense! I'm not sure what to think of their marriage. She sure talks like she doesn't take crap from him. She even said that when she was ready to get married she told him and he said he wasn't ready yet...so she told him "goodbye." He finally came around. That took guts on her part. I also heard quite a while back that he had an affair in the first part of their marriage. Now whether it's true or not, I don't know.

I haven't heard that, but you know what, it would not surprise me one bit. Does he come off to you as quite cocky sometimes?? I just have a huge pet peeve for cocky people. They just urk me. But I do watch his how and do take a lot of his advice to heart. So, I'm just confused on how I really feel about him. I guess I just don't know him well enough to judge him at this point. And I completely agree wtih you.....many people's problem is that they just don't use common sense!!!!!!!

I don't watch his show. It comes on here while I'm at work. And to be honest, I've never really "gotten" him - if you can understand that. Not knocking him by any means, I just don't "get" him. As you said Janet, the few times I have seen him (on Oprah before his own show, the couple of times I've seen his show cause I've been home), I really didn't like his attitude....maybe it was just the shows I did see and their topics that didn't appeal to me.

I don't like cocky people either. My brother-in-law is like that. I don't like being around those that think their sh*t don't stink. I sometimes wonder about him. I've caught him on his show acting like he's not quite sure what to say...after acting like he knows all. I like him a lot, but sometimes I get a little perturbed at him.

I've never watched his show before so I don't know if I like him or not?? I've heard of him and he seems well respected by many.

I take and listen to the good he shares and leave what i can't "use" in my life, if what he's saying doesnt appeal to me, i turn it off.
As stated above, he might come across as "cocky" but i guess if he softend up, people wouldnt "hear" what he was saying. I think he has helped a great lot of people, he is straightforward, which i can appreciate. What he does behind the scenes is what he will have to answer for, though i doubt he would have had an affair, he knows it would damage he's careere.

I'm a huge Dr. Phil fan. I watch it about every day. My radio show goes off at ten and then I turn on my tv here at work and watch Dr. Phil. My tv at work only picks up one station so I really don't have a choice but I love the show.
Do you ever find yourself quoting him when your helping someone out with there problems? I do all the time. I'm the person that all my friends come to; to spill their problems. I'm a great listner and everyone knows that they can tell me anything and I can keep my mouth shut. So their always getting Dr. Phils advice from me. He makes alot of good points.

I sometimes do the same thing. I was watching Dr. Phil just a few minutes ago, but President Bush interrupted with a news conference. I'm not in the mood so I muted him! I usually don't do that, but I'm just not wanting to listen to him today.

If I am home when Dr. Phil is on I watch his show also, yes sometimes he is cocky and most is common sense. as Janet said. As far as his marriage to Robin goes, it seems geniune but who really knows. Do you girls know that he was married once before, I saw his bio on E! He married very young .. Look he may be a professional but no one is perfect and sometimes I feel these drs. don't have all the answers, they just go by past experiences with patiences and how things turn out. I think its all statistics , every induvidual is different as relationships.
