Dr. Phil Reaches 1000
Everyone knows I am something of a fan of Oprah, in spite of her politics. I'm equally -- and maybe even more impressed -- by Dr. Phil. Today, I am watching Dr. Phil's 1,000th show. Dr Phil is extremely real and, unlike most of the crazy people who have a daytime TV show, he actually seems to be helpful. He requires guest to take ownership over their issues -- or take a walk.Dr. Phil is, of course, "his own man." However, he was discovered by Oprah whom he worked for as a consultant during her trial in Amarillo with the beef producers. She discovered his home grown wisdom that was tempered by a PhD.
What started as a weekly segment on the Oprah show evolved into a daily program of his own and it became the second highest daytime show (after his mentors) in no time. Phil McGraw is tough, yet has a great sense of humor (as seen from his antics on The Simpsons, Scary Movie 4, his banter with Dr. Phil, and other appearances).
I congratulate Dr. Phil for making common sense into interesting television.

I liked Dr. Phil too until of the Britney incident. I think he is like every show boat out there.
I saw the show too and was impressed. He is quite a success story.
I have been a fan of both your show and Dr. Phil for quite some time. I am really happy for what you have done with your site. I put "dr. phil" and "1000" (without the quotes) and you came in number 2 out of several hundred thousand. You beat AOL, TMZ and many others. The only one you didn't beat was drphil.com itself. Great work!
Dr. Phil rocks. It was cool seeing information like this on a "business" blog.
