I have only had a little experience with live tv, but when Dr Phill kicked off the bumfights guy, I was certain it was BS. They knew what he was about before he was ever asked on the show. The tapes would have been seen several times by the production crew in editing the clip. DOH! How stupid do they think their viewers are?
I wish I could remember which episode it was when I decided that this show had
jumped the shark, although affiliating with E-harmony didn't help.
Perhaps it was the Dr Phill House concept, where he actively participated in creating discord. I used to appreciate what I thought, Dr Phill was doing.
Now, just another T.V. huckster.
