Has The Divorce Rate Increased Since The Dr. Phil Show?

I think this would be an interesting research topic for some seasoned
(or amateur) social scientist.

Any predictions about this? Anyone with any empirical data?

I will research this, and follow up, but I am interested in people's
thoughts as to what the influence may be for the positive/negative???

I think any correlation would be non-existent. Most people probably
watch the show for its "entertainment value"...I mean c'mon, "The Dr.
Phil House?"...this is just "The Real World" on steroids!
