In Reply To: --hate to admit it. And it was as bad as I expected. A blatant promo for The Insider and Pat O'Brien's "comeback", which I gather is tomorrow. Dr. Phil started off with some "tough love" and ended with forgiveness and lessons learned. Just in time for tomorrow's show. I know all about synergy, but this was a low moment for CBS. I agree with the poster who said most viewers don't even know who Pat O'Brien is.
Message: This show was a pathetic train wreck. Dr. Phil came off as a heavy handed prosecutor beating the same repetitious questions into the ground. O'Brien looked silly explaing it was "just a little bit of coke" -- I guess nothing like the amount he must have done in the 70s and 80s. No celebrity would've ever taken such a humiliating beating. This was supposed to promote these guys?
