Watch Dr. Phil

Post contributed by Alfredo Gaines:

Do you guys ever watch Dr. Phil? I never did before I went to http://www.cannonsatellite.com/ and got all these extra channels but now that I am I can’t stop – he’s just fascinating to me! It’s interesting how his show has changed over the years to have guests who are more along the Jerry Springer line than the classy line they used to be but hey, sensationalism works in this industry if you ask me. I think there’s something to be said for knowing your audience and going after it and that’s definitely what Phil has done and who’s to fault him for that? I love being part of his home audience and I’ve actually learned a lot from watching his program all these months. He says “do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?” and I think that’s a really good way to look at life – I try to deal with all my relationships along these lines because I think it’s a healthy way to be.

My Favorite Animal Show

Posted by Winford Tillman.

I've always had a fascination for animals. They can be so beautiful and horrifying at the same time. I can't quite imagine what it would be like if I were to ever meet something like a Rhino or a Giraffe. They are larger than I think I could ever imagine.

My favorite way to visit these far away animals is to do so through my satellite tv. I get tons and tons of channels that let me view animals in just about anyway I want. My personal favorite animal show is Animal Cops, which can be viewed on the Animal Planet channel. Animals cops isn't about animals who are cops. Rather, it's about cops who protect animals from abusive owners.

For example, one of my favorite episodes involved an old lady who hoarded cats. She had over 30 cats in a single story small home. They were feral and were not living in safe conditions. The animal cops came in and took the cats to a safe home with the permission of the lady. She wasn't doing anything illegal per se, but the animal cops care about their animals and wanted to help. There are also stories of bad people who have abused their pets and the animal cops take legal action against them. It's always a great feeling when a bad person gets sent to jail for abusing their animals.
