I've been thinking about this for awhile -- but I fear McGraw has jumped the shark with his show this season, in general.
Examples: an interview with Drew Barrymore. Face-to-face confrontations with a wife and "the other woman," straight outta Springer.
Perhaps the producers are trying to broaden the scope of this show. But to me, they're actually diluting it -- unless Dr. Phil is running out of "ordinary" topics and guests to discuss.

As far as spin control on Pat's end I think the guy is nuts. Maybe, maybe 15% of the country knows who the hell Pat O'Brien is and how he spectacularly flamed out. Now, thanks to some ill-conceived PR move, another 25 million Americans will know how much of a loser O'Brien is. Just one more case of a celebrity (anyone in the media is prone to this) thinking that the entire planet hangs on their every move and word. Big mistake.
