A chill wind blows.
But then again, Tim robbins' wife helped get Dr. Laura's tv show kicked off the air for not being politically correct about homosexuality.
Dr. Laura counsels homosexuals just like married couples now days.
Not true. Dr. Laura's TV show went on the air on time (September 11, 2000) despite the best efforts of Gay-stapo figure John Aravosis, leftist pundits, producers and writers of Cheers, and, yes, Susan Sarandon to kill it.
It seems Paramount Television wanted to her to be like Judge Judy, but Schlessinger pulled her punches with her guests. For many years previous, she had denounced the tactics of TV talkfests like Maury and Jenny Jones, in which therapist panelists confronted and humiliated guests on camera (as opposed to anonymous callers on the radio). IMHO, what killed the Dr. Laura TV show was that it was a watered-down version of the Dr. Laura radio program. It was, frankly, boring.
I believe that the Dr. Phil show is shot on the in-the-round soundstage that Paramount built for Laura.
