Welcome lil' Borokat and congrats to Borokat and Mr. Borokat! What combination of Phil, Robin and Jay will you be naming him?



Shill just doesn't have the quick wit of Hank Hill and Kitty Surprise (best name ever) probably sucks at Boggle.

What's up with Kitty Surprise swearing by all these drugstore products - didn't they have a show once where she was touting some cream that even a Product Ho like myself thought was too expensive? I don't recall exactly what it was but it seems like a tiny bottle/jar was $100+.

Completely and utterly. But at least no-one was psychologically scarred, as opposed to most recent episodes. I loved it when Kitty Surprise was talking about "mass merchandisers" and trying to disguise her utter disdain but luckily for her, her face can no longer register any recognizable human expressions.



Paging Dr. Crane... Dr. Frasier Crane... Seriously, I'd rather go to Kelsey Grammer for therapy.



It's too late, the McShills have already reproduced and are now inflicting their progeny on the unsuspecting public.

Well, her favorite exercise equipment is the band thingy, but I swear she swore not too long ago that her favorite was the treadmill. And she "just told everybody she's 50"? Didn't he do that on the show (THAT SHE WAS ON) two days ago?

And Word! to percolata who said that if you're getting mistaken for your kids' grandmother? Dye your damn gray hair. Duh! What ticked me off most was that repulsed sneer on Robin's face when talking about the Birkenstocks. Yeah, that woman'll be tooling around the house in those Pradas every day now. And wearing her pearls to vacuum, too, I'm sure.

BTW, I just want to thank y'all for being my anti-aging medicine. Laughter, right? More muscles to frown than smile? Think happy thoughts? Here are a few of my sure-fire anti-aging favorites lately:



Shorty McAsshat and action figure sized husband and pretty much everything in gemmadoll's post but especially this:


Gawd I'll be young forever if I hang out here ... please just don't overcharge me (even though this level of snark cannot be bought at a mass merchandiser!).

edited because statements do not end with question marks?

Oh. My. God. So funny it hurts.



Yep. When she was acting like she used these drugstore brands on her face, I was all WTF? Does she think we don't remember what she was bragging about a few months ago? (I believe it was the Valentine's Day show, and yes, I am horribly embarassed that I have mentally catalogued that info)

I know y'all were thinking the same thing that I was when Dr. Shill opened the show with "Have y'all seen those women who have had so much Botox that their faces are frozen into perpetually-surprised masks of horror?"

Psst, cameraman! Cut to Robin! Cut to Robin!

Okay, because I do owe y'all for the laughter:

The specially compounded Robincreme is $48.89 for the 20% mix but only $40.89 for the 10%. They wasted no time slapping that puppy up on the front of their website, right under the big flashing star that says "as seen on the Dr. Phil show". (which is about the natural-yet-apparantly-sugarfree hormone replacement pills Robin takes).

Also, they do consultations by the quarter hour ($35, but only $100 for the full hour). If you are outside of their area you can phone them for your private consultation. As opposed to they put you on speaker phone for everyone in the joint to hear?

Back to the Robincreme. Apparantly they don't so much "compound" it as repackage it. The label says yadda ya pharmacy but the web also clearly states Robincreme by Revision, with the registered symbol. A quick search on that takes you to the Dermatology Center of Northern New Jersey (among others) that sells the same stuff. The 20% solution here is $45.85, but not repackaged. In case you don't feel the need to get the special Robincreme compounded by her very own special pharmacy just for her.

I'm backing away slowly now

I thought perhaps I would be able to get through one day without a WORD! Silly me, so here it goes: WORD!

Bitch, what are you doin' bagging on the Birkies? Stupid bint. Those are righteous shoes manufactured by an even more righteous company. You will never know such comfort as a broken-in pair of Birkenstocks. I've worn them my entire life, as I am the child of hippie parents, and I don't care if the Robotoxins of the world have sneer for me because I do so. My feet are happy. And here's a thought: what the hell happened to PERSONAL STYLE, Robin McGraw, you overly madeup Stepford Wife? I wear brown Birkies and black Birkies. They are part of my "look" sometimes. You know what? I wear tie-dyed shirts, too. My in-laws live in Seattle, and with each visit, I have to score a tie-dye off a hippie somewhere. It's part of my look. I can dress up with the best of them, but sometimes a girl just wants to let her freak flag fly, you know? I know you guys know. Robin wouldn't. She'd probably hide her purse and have her cell phone dialed "9-1-" as I walked by her. Press that next "1," Robin. I want you to.

gemmadoll, we should collect all of your postings and send them to Shill. Better yet, we could gather up all of hers, and some of the others, and make a "Best of the Shill Message Board" book and give it to Robin for Christmas!

And of course let's not forget Robin using her favorite word: girl. 'Cause it's all about looking like a girl. Birkenstocks aren't girly enough!

As for Tanning & Smoking Woman: My grandparents used to live in Florida, and my grandmother had a lot of female friends in their 60s & 70s who spent their lives out in the sun. Trust me, T&SW won't be "catnip" to men in a few years, if she makes it that far; her skin will look like fine Corinthian leather.

Hmm... tomorrow's show was supposed to be new (my TiVo still lists it as such), but the preview today was for a rerun ("Sex Games," notable for Phil's comment about how one guest was "like a dog in heat"). Friday's is a repeat as well (the show with the baby-talking woman).

Did anyone else hear Ricardo Montalbahn when they read this? Just me? Ok then.

While I love getting facials, massages, and pedicures, I've never referred to myself as a girl once I hit 18. Robin must be terrified of aging. She always refers to herself as a girl and she spends so much time blabbing on and on about beauty treatments and hormones and menopause. It's sickening. Grow old gracefully, woman!

MaggiegaultI was irked by the footwear thing, too...I have never owned a pair of Birks but you can [Charelton Heston] pry my Doc Martins from my cold dead hands![/CH]

I mean, have you seen The Robinators' shoes? Does she actually have to walk anywhere or is she carried in a litter a la History of the World Part I? I do believe you can manage to feel young and still wear comfy shoes.

I want my foreskin cream! I wanna rub it on my crow's feet!!!!!!

Edited because for some reason I forgot how to code. Maybe it's the foreskin cream...foreskin cream......

Heee yall are funny. I think I start every post in this thread with that line, but its true! I wear my birkies every now and then and I'm a young woman, does that make me lame? Ok I'm lame then. Stupid Robin! There's something freaky about her eyes. She looks crosseyed or something, but they just don't match up! It really was a pointless show. Well, I got to rip on Robin Stepford so thats something!

Who else could've gone without hearing DP say the word "foreskin"? Ew.

Oh. Sweet. Jesus. I turned away after DP's monologue on "perpetually surprised women" post plastic surgery failed to yield a cut to Robin, and I couldn't stand yet another day of Robinpalooza. But finding out that I missed hearing DP say "foreskin?" And for that matter, "foreskin cream?" I made a wiser decision than I could have ever imagined.

Congrats, borokat and family!

Oh Robin, you poor thing. You looked so pretty in those early photos. What in jeebus name made you facelift/botox yourself into....that....whatever you are. You don't even look like the same person! Don't even attempt to out-woman me, you plastic replicate, and if you so much as touch my celery green Birkenstocks, you die, bitch.



Yes, I heard Ricardo Montalban with the leather comment, and for this one: "Yes, no no no no no no, yes no no no no no no, yes, no no, yes, no no....etc"

The Best of Shill Message Board? Such a good idea.

Congratulations borokat. Hope everything is going well for you and the new baby. Bet you're not getting much sleep these days. Zzzzzzzz.

I found an interesting website. A lady, who claimed that her boyfriend and some of her friends worked for D Phil, had an interesting post. In her message dated FEB 27, 2004 she said that D Phil would be writing a cookbook and that it would come out in April or May of this year. She is onto something. I personally read this postings 3 months ago and she was right!

I have heard D Phil mention on his show that he has 30 years of experience counselling people. Not true. He got his licence in the late 1970's and gave up his licence due to a complaint in 1989. So about 11 years is a lot more accurate. I even wrote the D Phil show about this and asked that he stop saying he has 30 years of experience. It fell on deaf ears.

Her user ID is Dr Philth (catchy)!
http://ctv1.ctv.ca/ctv_forum/topic.asp?TOP...858&whichpage=2

This CTV site is a mainstream Canadian tv station site.

I think she swears by them because she's given them as Xmas gifts to "the help" for the past 30 years. They're fine gifts for the non-Botoxed, non-foreskin-cream-usin' little folk.

Re Robotox's overly made-up Stepford look: See, I admire overly made-up women. Good for them for having such confidence in the cosmetics arena 'cause I sure don't. Anyone who can plaster on 6 shades of eyeshadow, thick eyeliner and mascara, and who has the nerve to wear it in public, has my admiration. But Robin's makeup, like her clothes, just look careful. She's sure not stylish, as maggiegault mentioned. Yeah, she's overly made-up but the effect isn't fun or bizarre; she just looks preserved in aspic. Sugar-free, 10-calorie aspic.

My thoughts exactly. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones Shill. Even if Robotox does keep yours in a jar on the nightstand.

Dr. Philth. Heh.

I'm so sick of Robin; I hope they're not trying to spin her off onto her own show. Her voice grates. Get real, indeed.

from the CTV site:


Gee, could it be a coincidence that Dr. Phil has said that he's going to focus on parenting next season, and almost all of the topics on the Be On The Show page of drphil.com are parenting related. Sure sounds like a book in progress to me.



At least we don't need to worry about Robin getting her own show; we know that she already has a full time job -- dressing Dr. Phil (rolls eyes).

And cooking -- don't forget the coooking. Three or four times a day, and the kitchen is where she spends all her time when she's not at the studio, you know.

Yeah, it simply takes HOURS and HOURS to come up with and prepare those fake-food recipes --i.e.: tasteless chicken fried-but-not-really-fried steak... and faux nanner pie -- not to mention the syrup-drenched veggies.

This? Is awesome. Can you imagine a sit-com, done in the style of Arrested Development, of a bombastic talk show host and his family? That would rule. It's genius.

Am I to understand that when it comes to what to put into your body (food), Robin's all about chemicals to keep the cals down but when it comes to what to put on your body (cosmetics), she's all about paying top dollar for the latest natural cure? Interesting.

Congrats, borokat. Give a smoochie to lil borokat for me. Take care of yourself.

YEP! This is exactly how the stage was set a year ago to bring out all the weight books and shows and blah, blah, blah....
Geez.... just the thought of another boatload of this crap-ola next year sure lacks any promise. Personally, I've had enough of FU parents dragging their garbage out on tv.... the kids be damned. Sorry, but if we are going to be put thru more series all season that end in "wonderful prizes".... fuhgedaboutit.

Today's repeat about sex games: ewwww....
This show must have been one of the big turning points from "counseling" to the audience decidingly stopping short of chanting "Phil-ly.... Phil-ly.... Phil-ly!!".
His input was much more interesting than anything in recent shows but you could tell the topics were going in a handbasket from here.

And the first couple, Hooker-Wife sure got quiet as their story went on. Her insecurity reeked from the rafters! Of course, her husband was as big an idiot for playing along. I don't think either one understood the bigger issue. They just creeped me out.

The second couple made baby jesus cry! That gal was clueless and didn't care. She did what she did BECAUSE SHE COULD.... bottom line. The husband must have been one of FUF2 Stacy's ex-husbands. eeeewwwwwww..
I think these folks were the inspiration for FUF2.

Third couple.... the only serious one of the three. They seemed to recognize an issue and wanted to work it out.

Ugh... that second woman was just yucky and her husband was spineless. I guess we now know where DP got the idea for FUF2.

Hey, wouldn't it be weird if it turned out that DP was just like Springer in that he hired people to fake their stories?

Re: Tuesdays show-couples rescue retreat.

I just watched Tuesday's show. Donna is resentful about a previous show where D Phil calls her baby's throwing up "psychotic vomiting". D Phil claims he never said that. Perhaps he should check the transcripts of the show. Donna is right- he did say words to this effect on the "We need to Talk About Divorce" episode. I checked it out on the "summary of the show" part of his website. Here is what the summary says:

"And is it not true that the baby has started random vomiting, absent any other sort of disorder that you can identify? That's called psychogenic vomiting ... You need to shut this down and get out of it ... "

Why would he deny saying it?

After reading about Shill's buying Son o' Shill a house in the Hollywood Hills, I want to bitch slap him even more than usual for berating the in-debt college grads who are unfortunate enough not to have parents who are Shillionaires!

A sitcom based on the Shills would rule, but I'm sure Shill and his evil team of lawyers would be suing everybody about it.



Robotox - she's no Tammy Faye!

Because he technically didn't say "psychotic" vomiting. And Dr Phil always strikes me as somebody who cares more about technicalities than meanings. And if he can claim that somebody who is upset about something is just completely wrong (as he does in every one of those "debate Dr Phil" shows) then he wins. And who cares what really happened if you get to win the argument?

Since the Shill Show has been on the air, I seem to recall on several occasions hearing Dr. Shill repeat ad nauseum either "you kill what you eat", "you eat what you kill" or "this is a kill what you eat world" or some such other cornpone nonsense in regard to starting out on one's own. I got the definite impression that he disapproved of parental assistance to struggling young adults. I guess the same rules don't apply to Spawn of Shill.

Hysterical. One for The Best of The Shill Message Boards book, for sure. Right up there with Shill, Robotoxin, and BigButt Jay.

In honor of Gemmadoll, I vote that we officially christen the younger McGraw son JordannotJethro.

Some of us use our powers for good, I swear!



Possibly "what you kill and eat won't eat you first."

And somewhere, now, in the quiet and dark, Robin lays out outfits and smoothes them softly and carefully....

Do as Shill says, not as Shill does.


Some of you do, but any team that works for Shill is evil by association.

I missed baby-talkin' gal the first time around, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow's rerun.

welcome, li'l borokat and big congrats and healing vibes out to borokat!!!! Also, thanks for the advice!

No more Robin shows!

SiameseCatLady, where did you read about D Phil buying his kid a house? I have heard that before but would love to read more about it. I cannot read enought dirt about D Phil so please keep digging it up. I love eating mud pies!

Hey guys, how do you put those boxes around a message you want to reference?

Use the "quote" button. I highlight what I want boxed, then click "quote."

MyraA, This is the link about BigButtted Jay's House. Scroll way down until you see Kelly Osbourne. It is in that blurb of the blog.

(ewww- check out the new picture of ugly naked guy!!!!)

Goddam it hurts when you gouge out your own eyes! Don't miss the Wgirls (secondary link to easy G. Bush fun) and the Nascar fan pic. Hey, if I have to suffer, YOU have to suffer. (insert appropriate little winky emoticon here, if necessary)

MyraA, try the "bb code help" active link to the left of your posting screen. See? Right <----------------- there.

You people do realize thatBig-ButtJay and little...what are we calling him? Jorthro? ...will reproduce eventually and those spawn will recruit others and this whole McGraw nightmare will keep growing and growing until a regular army of Texas-twanged millionaires (ok, like a thousand JR's and Sue Ellens and dozens and dozens of Steve Wyatts) controls every facet of our lives?

Our eye doctors will botox our crow's feet WITHOUT our asking.

"Soft place to fall" will be on the SAT's.

Our divorce courts will become great hellish gambling casinos where one has to earn his way out of a marriage...

Life in the Future United States of McGraw:Take it, anti-Phils. Whatcha got?

ETA: I couldn't take a second go round with baby talking woman. Not only would it make me urp up something I ate in the late eighties, it also is impossible to watch without knowing "fer drop dead sure" that it's giving Phil wood.

I don't think we'll have to worry too much about the United States of McGraw. The McGraw family fortune isn't gonna last to the end of this generation. And how could either of the McGraw Spawns (McSpawns?) find a woman who could compete with Robotox? Those poor boys will never get the chance to reproduce.


Ok, I'm off to buy a tub of industrial-sized bleach and soaking in it for the rest of the day. But, still, BWAH!

Arrgh, Gemmadoll. I've been trying to suppress the suspicion that it has some of that effect on Mr. Perc, too. Well he ain't getting it. Not even if he begs for it. Not even with spwinkles on.

The United States of McGraw would have a wonderful daily show for all the Robotox Wives called "I Enjoy Being a Girl." Focus would be on beauty routines and fashion tips with a "Recipe of the Day" featuring wonderful sugar free recipes like Rice Krispie treats made with marshmallows. The show would always end with Robin waving bye bye from a bubble bath.

Youbetcha, since the white devil (in granulated form) would be quickly outlawed. The boats attempting to smuggle in the white stuff would be ceremoniously sunk offshore, leaving our beaches glazed. (MMMMMMM...glazed beaches!)

Look,somebody in that family may be living on air and Perrier but it sure isn't Uncle Phil. Also, unless BB Jay is carrying around a week's worth of laundry in his back pockets it isn't him, either. This whole diet thing of Phil's is because of his personal distaste for women who wear larger than a size six and I'll bet every case of Goo Goo clusters in my garden shed that I'm right. Now if you'll excuse me, I have petunias to pot.

Did anyone happen to check out the website Shill's ex has? The First Mrs. Phil Coffee Shop She is selling a coffee mug with their wedding picture on one side and the phrase "What were you thinking?" on the other. In the photo she appears to be a pretty little slip of a thing. After all, she was the high school homecoming queen. He is incredibly unattractive in the picture. Perhaps The Shill has a mental inventory of the perfect woman along the lines of, "Height, five-three or less. Check. Weight - one-ten or less. Check. Appropriately submissive and worshipful. Check. Okay, we're good to go....."
Is it me or does he seem to exude disdain for any woman who veers outside the lines of those criteria?

There's a link on Ex-Mrs.Phil's site to an article that completely pans Dr.P's book.

Excellent (rubs hands).

Here is the article on Debbie, the ex-Mrs. Phil, from the National Enquirer:
Dr. Phil's Ex Gets Revenge

I can't even imagine what it must be like to have your ex be so famous, and to know what he's "really" like. I feel sorry for her!

[Here is the article on Debbie, the ex-Mrs. Phil, from the National Enquirer:
Dr. Phil's Ex Gets Revenge]

It says in the article that they divorced in 1974. I have also read that the first Mrs Phil left him in 1973. Check out the family album under the biography section of the Dr Phil website. In one of the photos the caption says that Dr Phil started dating Robin in 1972. Tee hee hee!!

You know what I liked about today's show? It reminded me why I started watching DP in the first place. He handled fairly minor problems with humor and common sense advice. I wish his current shows were more like today's rerun.

I burst out laughing when the body image woman said her own picture looked like her father in drag.

I think the insult woman should learn to keep her comments to herself or (quietly) to others. She was speaking loudly enough for the subjects to hear her, and she wasn't being subtle, no matter how much she protested that she was. Maybe someone should point her in our direction.

Re: the show where Katherine, from the first D family, got a room makeover from Pottery Barn.

I am wondering if the whole point of the room makeover was just to provide advertising for Pottery Barn. I am sure that Pottery Barn paid a lot of money to be the company selected to provide the furniture and makeover. It is better than a commercial for getting their name and product out there. Am I being too cynical?

MyraA -- I don't think you're being cynical at all. I thought the exact same thing. Same with the food savers he gave out -- what the hell?

I became a Video Archivist on the Dr. Phil thread? Ack! But yay!

I think her room looked better pre-makeover, except for the pics of Shill on her wall.

From the Enquirer article:
She chafed under Phil's domineering ways, and the marriage finally crumbled when she says she found out that he had cheated on her with a number of different women.

Hmmm, guess we know that Kitty Surprise was one of those women - no wonder she won't let him go to work without her. What's that stuff Shill says about "earning your way out" of a marriage. Did he earn his way out by being domineering or by cheating on the wife? If cheating does it, Marty and Skanky should both have earned a get out of marriage free card.

I think Shill's forte is definitely people with problems that he can tell to just stop it - like Baby Talkin' Gal or Thumb Suckin' Gal or Queen of Snark - keep him away from serious issues like FUF1, FUF2 or RR.

Ouch. Poor 1st DP's wife. She sounds kind of bitter, but I would be too if my ex became a cajillionaire off of being a complete asshat. Then again, the 70s were a looong time ago so I dunno. He's still a dick for doing that to her.

So when Robin gets to her own private version of hell she's be stuck in a life size version of the Candyland game.

MyraA- I love your cynicism! You are so the Langly, Frohicke and Byers of the Shill show!
