Dr. Phil (YouTube)

On Sunday, I watched an episode in which Dr. Phil confronted a pathological liar named Brittany.  She stormed off stage.  The audience gasped.

On Monday, I watched a two-part episode featuring a crazy woman who insisted that both of her children were paranoid schizophrenic.  Dr. Phil said he would help her if she agreed to delete her YouTube channel.  “No,” the woman replied.  The audience gasped.

On Tuesday, I watched a two-part episode in which a man was falsely accused by his ex-wife and mother-in-law of sexually abusing his daughter.  What a toxic family!  I mean, the guy was kind of a jerk but no one deserves to be falsely accused of something like that.

On Wednesday, I watched a divorced couple yell at each other over who was responsible for their son’s video game addiction.

On Thursday, I watched a two-part episode in which a masseuse named Tarek came on the show to try to clear his name after he was accused of sexually assaulting 18 of his clients.  Tarek asked to be on the show and demanded to take a polygraph exam.  What was weird about that was the fact that Tarek was obviously guilty and a terrible liar.  No one was shocked when he failed the polygraph.

Later, I watched an episode about a mother-in-law who accused her son’s wife of being the “spawn of Satan.”  Yikes!  The wife was actually very nice and had the patience of a saint.

On Friday morning, I watched an episode in which Phil got annoyed with a teenage girl who hoped that getting pregnant would lead to her getting her own reality show.

On Saturday, I watched an episode featuring a young woman who insisted that her mother had kidnapped her son.  The young woman wanted to sue her parents but she also wanted them to lend her the money for the attorney.

Dragnet (YouTube)

On Sunday, I watched my favorite episode of this old cop show.  Friday and Gannon appeared on a talk show and debated an underground newspaper editor and a sociologist.  Someday, I’ll write a full-length review of this episode because, from a historical point of view, it’s really is spectacular.

I followed this up with my second favorite episode, in which Friday enrolled in night school and promptly arrested one of his classmates.

Snub UK (Night Flight Plus)

I watched an episode of this old music show on Friday night.  The music videos were enjoyably trippy.

Welcome Back, Kotter (Tubi)

World’s Most Evil Killers (YouTube)

On Friday, I watched an episode about Arizona’s Baseline Killer.  He was definitely evil and he was a killer so I guess the show delivered what it promised.

World’s Most Evil Prisoners (YouTube)

On Wednesday morning, I watched a profile of Christa Pike, the youngest inmate on Tennessee’s Death Row.  And yes, Christa Pike did appear to be really, really evil.  As a fellow redhead, I was upset to see a member of the 2% behaving so badly.

On Friday, I watched an episode about T.D. Bingham, a leader of the Aryan Brotherhood.  He was definitely a scary guy, as well as being an evil prisoner.  So, just as with World’s Most Evil Killers, this show delivered what it promised.
