SUMMARY

The discussion reveals a surprising shift in opinion regarding Dr. Phil and Nancy Grace, with the original poster admitting to an unexpected enjoyment of their shows. This change is attributed to a combination of factors, including the influence of popular culture and the accessibility of content through platforms like Netflix and over-the-air antennas.

Ok, it finally happened. After years of fighting it with much intensity, they wore me down. I now have to say that I do like Dr. Phil and Nancy Grace. I thought I'd never say this, maybe it's "Stockholm syndrome," but I find myself being fascinated with the smut and muck they rake.

I didn't sign up for this, I don't know if I really even want it, but when you cut the cord, get a Netflix subscription, buy a $100 Ariel antenna from Walmart and mount it on your roof, maybe that's what's in store for you..
