Disturbing Daytime TV: Dr. Phil to Interview Casey Anthony's Parents
It looks like Oprah's protégé is coming out swinging this fall in the battle for the daytime crown she left behind. Dr. Phil has netted an exclusive interview with Cindy and George Anthony, the parents of Casey Anthony, who stood trial and was later found not guilty of the murder of her daughter Caylee.
According to the press release, the Anthonys didn't receive any compensation for the exclusive however, they asked that charitable contributions be made to a fund set up in their late granddaughter's name. The sure-to-be controversial interview is set to air on Dr. Phil this Sept. 12. Will you be watching?
Read excerpts from the press release below:
“Cindy and George have suffered a horrific loss with the untimely death of their granddaughter Caylee, and they have since endured an unprecedented public attack on their family,” says Dr. Phil. “Have these attacks been warranted, or not? I looked them straight in the eye and asked some very tough questions. Despite living under a ‘media microscope’ for years, THEIR story has never really been told and there’s so much more to it than we’ve heard in the media. Throughout this extensive interview, we explore every detail of their ordeal, and they answer every question I know will be on our viewers' minds. Nothing is off limits during this interview."
Cindy Anthony said, “We knew that we’d want to speak at some point, and we figured there was no better place than with Dr. Phil. We are hoping that by doing this interview, we will be able to help other people who may be experiencing struggles of their own. We certainly don’t want anyone to experience what we have these last three years.” George Anthony continues, “We appreciate the way in which Dr. Phil has helped others, and we trust him enough to completely open our hearts in telling our story. He is a professional that understands the uniqueness of our family situation. There’s no one better to do this interview than Dr. Phil. We knew he would ask the difficult questions, and we were right.”

Thats why I dont like talk shows because they are worse than paparazzi. There are alot of subjects I dont endorse. Thats why I watch soaps, cause its all fake.

The whole Casey Anthony trial was a tragic soap opera. And an unfathomable mystery. Why someone would kill a 2 year old. Why didn't she just give Caylee to grandma to raise? There's some weird stuff going on between mom and daughter and the rest of the family. The family needs a shrink to figure them out, but Dr. Phil won't crack Cindy. She's been grilled by detectives and attorneys. Tough nut to crack.
I'm interested in how Dr. Phil handles them.

Getting the Casey Anthony's parents is nothing compared with a lot of the ratings grabbing stunts and interviews the Dr. Phil show has done through the years.

Jamey:
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Hell to the Frakking N-O!
I've never watched Dr. Phil in my life. What makes anyone think I'd watch it for even more of the fallout of the most over-covered trial in quite some time? Hell, HLN was in the courtroom so much I'm surprised Orange County, Fla. didn't charge them room and board!

Will I be watching? Not planning on it, but you never know. The big problem of course is that while no question is 'off limits', I sincerely doubt Cindy and George Anthony will be candid, forthcoming, and honest.
They will either stick to their previous story (which is questionable) or refuse to answer.

I will probably watch. It is like passing an accident. It is too hard not to look. I think they did what they had to to save her from death. Not sure they even thought she would get off completely. She literally threw them under the bus. They would probably do it again. I thought for sure she was going to get Murder 2nd degree I think. It is a murder resulting from her actions. 30 years......I never thought she would get death. I think she was irresponsible and the baby died. Exactly how was not proven but I still think it was Casey's fault. I doubt there was premeditation although the coroner said she only saw duct tape where there was murder. I think Casey was trying to make it look like a kidnapping. I think she chloroformed her by accident. .Casey is sociopath and should NOT have had the baby in beginning. Sorry for rambling but this is why people got hooked. So many unknowns....

I think this whole entire family should have been locked up after the death of that beautiful child. I think every single one of them played some part in the crime. Am I going to watch them on Dr. Phil, NO I AM NOT! They all make me sick to my stomach.
