While many shows are interesting, there are way too many commercials. Just as a discussion starts 3-4 mins later he say, “we'll tell you more when we come back”. This is repeated 5-6 times during the hour long airing - the audience must go crazy having to sit through them. Recently, Dr. Phil has spent a considerable amount of time talking about his podcast and even takes viewer time to walk thru the download process. On a recent show (10/23 maybe) he did this twice because an audience member was having difficulty. Couldn’t a staff member help her later in the show? Self promotion plugs for his podcasts, his wife's skin care line and Doctors on demand...enough! This is not why I have tuned in the past and I've had enough of his self promotion so I now plan to tune out!
