Steve Wilkos, the Dr. Phil for trailer trash
15 February 2008
Ever notice when you watch a show like Dr. Phil, he's always saying what's blatantly obvious, but slower so he sounds smarter? Steve Wilkos is like that too, except the blatantly obvious is that guys shouldn't abuse their girlfriends (and Vice Versa) and that if you make a baby you take care of it and don't dump the mother.

I enjoy that trashy afternoon TV with all those commercials for community colleges, lawyers, and structured settlement people in between. Some people can call Steve a bully and say his show is trash, and to a degree it is. It's Jerry Springer but with a drill sergeant as an alternative to a coddling politician. And the subjects on the show are cut and paste.

You have to remember that some people enjoy drama and others enjoy seeing how much better they live their lives than others. Shows like Steve Wilkos give that pleasure.
