It's averaging 3.5 million viewers season-to-date -- just 200,000 viewers behind "Phil," according to Nielsen data.

Why don't they have all 4, Oprah, Oz, Phil, and Rachel all on a 4 hour show.....

but Gayle and Robin would have to be somewhere, right?

put them in the front row!

One is a "doctor." The other only plays one on TV.

Excellent analogy!!!! I agree. Dr. Phil is so over. He rubs me the wrong way. He is just too full of himself. He doesn't have a sincere feeling for people. Dr. Oz has a much better bed side manner, and seems to be genuine.

Dr. Oz is great!!! I dvr all of his programs so I can watch them when my schedule allows. He is very informative and gives the viewers good information about how to be healthier.
i cannot stand dr phil. he's just hot air that is too full of himself. I still hold it against oprah for cursing us with him. But then, she usually does good.
