McGraw noted that he's compelled to expand his audience because he has"grave concerns for the American family" and is"determined to help restore a clarity of purpose as well as our core values."Since its premiere in September 2002,has doled out snarky, straight-shooting advice to guests ranging from feuding couples and addicted adults to grieving celebrities and dangerous criminals.

Thank goodness... Dudes trash.

He should interview & eviscerate Meghan Markle & Harry

I have never watched his show, thereby no idea of what people will be missing.. The Best to Him!

Hack.

Good news

About time

Only 21 years too late.

Run out of things to talk about? Wish this would happen with the witches on 'The View'

Good riddance

Long overdue.

Happy to say I never watched one episode

His immense contribution to the field of clinical science and medicine will be sorely missed — said nobody ever.

Finally! Fake doc.

His best episode.

Your writer got the Dr. Phil-produced Thursday 10 p.m. legal drama wrong. It was 'Bull,' not 'So Help Me Todd.'

Good

Good!

I love positive news

So, little time so, many life's destroyed...

I thought he was filming progressive commercials now

As fake Doctor Phil finally gets cancelled, important to note that not only is Dr. Phil NOT a licensed doctor, but he's a Reefer Madness spewing buffoon. DrPhil DrPhil DrPhilPodcast

Why is he even still on TV with his “DR” nonsense. Oprah created this monster like Dr.Oz. Both are snakeoil salesman given legitimacy by national media. Shameful.

Controversial is an understatement. What the “bum fights” guy said about him remains spot on

Good riddance lol

darn -no one

Thank God!

Hey, please reconsider how you label this man. He is no longer licensed and has a history of ethics complaints against his license before he pivoted to television.

Good radiance

good because he's intolerable

Yay.

Should have done this five years ago. The program has been pretty terrible.

HACK QUACK.

What will stupid people watch now? I mean besides Kardashians, Desperate Housewives, Maury, Teen Mom, any of the “Shore” shows FoxNews, re-runs of Friends…….

The other pillow guy. Lol.

you misspelled 'quack'

Where is he moving to to run for Senate?

Waiting for the announcement he plans to run for a US Senate seat.

Getting ready for 2024? Seems to be the next step for these con men! He’s a greedy aggrandizer. What will wifey do now to peddle her silly stuff?

It's about time

Probably should've done it when his guests left far worse off than they were before going on the show. Say, 21 years ago?

Good Riddance!

brooklynfritzy

Finally.

Finally some good news.

Cc RottenInDenmark

Dr. Phil is still on the air?

leader_ashore Bye

He won’t be running for public office, will he?

tom brady wannabe

Can't happen soon enough.

Can’t he just stop NOW⁉️

Doctah PHULlahimself. Good riddance.
