Talk
show. Weekday issues type show
hosted by Dr Phil McGraw. This
was in fact a spin off from
Oprah – Dr Phil had his own
regular segment on that show and
this was filmed in pretty much
the same style, with a more
upmarket audience than say Jerry
Springer.
Dr
Phil was actually quite good for the fact that
he didn’t always tell his guests what they
wanted to hear but did offer genuine advice and
guidance. There was also a weekly segment
catching up with one particularly troubled
family and there were also regular follow up
shows checking in on former guests progress.
