Dear Montel- I hope you come back. I really miss your show. I have watched your show for the last 13 years. I just bought your new book Living Well Emotionally. I am enjoying it. I also have 4 of your other books. I also have a copy of the movie The Peacekeeper. I watched you as you were on All My Children and Touch By an Angel. I also saw you on Extreme Homemake Over. I myself have major health issues. I was born with my heart on the right with holes in the chambers. I am on 5 liters of oxygen 24/7. I have Epilepsy, Asthma, COPD,Ostoprosis and Diabetic. I developed the Epilepsy after my 2nd open heart surgery from a blood clot in the brain. I had my 3rd open heart at 27. I hope your new show works. I was sad the day your show went off the air. Best of luck with the show. Your #1 fan Bill Berger

I was at a taping of Living Well with Montel Williams a few weeks back, and after personally witnessing his purportedly “new and exciting” television show format I can tell you that what Montel is now producing is nothing short of a run of the mill, low budget/low quality infomercial.
It is a travesty that news sources (i.e. NY Times) have picked up his press release and publically recognized this format as anything more than the pathetic effort to sell low quality products in a totally ordinary and standard approach. The claim that these programs offer a unique combination of talk show with high quality commercials/infomercials is entirely inaccurate.
Montel’s staff buses in audience members and utilizes a very ordinary infomercial approach with dishonest motivation tactics (promises of high quality food and prizes that don’t materialize) all to motivate inauthentic applause and promotion for his low quality “made for Montel” products.
After tasting the food that came out of the pressure cooker he was hocking in the taping I saw, I can honestly tell you that the food was neither high quality nor was it any healthier or less expensive than the same home cooked meal prepared through other methods.
Additionally, Montel’s personality leaves much to be desired; he treats his staff horribly, and has little regard for the audience. His lack of authentic concern for helping others to live well became all too clear when meals were served to the studio audience; Donuts for breakfast, cold cuts for lunch (after he preached to the audience for an hour about the dangers of sodium and nitrates from cold cuts), and soda (after he preached to the audience about the hazards of aspartame, artificial colors and flavors, and sugar).
It is clear that this program is nothing but a dishonest ploy to con trusting consumers into purchasing a product they neither need, nor will they receive any true value. In fact, after discussing the hazards of non-stick coatings in cooking materials, he immediately went on camera to tout the benefits of the non-stick coating on his pressure cooker…pathetic.
But wait…there’s more…

I would love to see Montel back on tv with Sylvia Browne…..The 2 of them have such a rapport. I am personally dismayed that Sylvia is taking such nasty hits, in my opinion, she is helping a great number of people, I guess it goes back to the old thoughts, “hate what you don`t understand”. Please come back to TV Montel, and bring Sylvia with you…..

I watched Montel with Sylvia every week for years and she has helped the lives of people who come on the show and those I have seen in person!!!!! The uninformed and unscrupulous slammers of sylvia need to read up on thier subject matter before saying anything more….

I find it comical that there are people out there that don’t believe in the fact that Sylvia’s main ability is to do her best at assuring us that we are ALL loved by God, we should accept and respect others, we should not judge, only worry about our own lives and choices, and that above all else…there’s something after this existence. Sure, people can say what they want about her not being right every time, but why not ask ALL of those doctors who have given people with terminal diseases only months to live, and yet, those same terminal patients outlive those doctors’ diagnoses. Aren’t those doctors frauds? Aren’t they the one’s who are preying on other peoples’ grief? Sure…don’t answer that…that would only begin to unravel the safe security net of cynicism that so many people want to surround themselves in.

What about the government, and all of the politicians that have promised us that “this” wouldn’t happen, or “that” wouldn’t happen? Aren’t they frauds? Why aren’t we out to crucify them? After all, Sylvia gives far more people hope about living each day, than the doctors and politicians.

And let’s not forget to discuss the “psychics” that wrote the Bible…which actual research for anyone who’s interested will show, that NO ONE can agree or even find ACTUAL proof of who wrote what book of the Bible. So, really…fraud seems to be a certainity there.

Yeah…it just amazes me that history is so full of people who were believed to be “Frauds” :
-Joan of Arc
-The Salem Witch Trials
-Christopher Columbus
-Galleo
-JESUS

Montel should be ashamed of himself for ever letting Sylvia Browne on the air in the first place.

She’s a dangerous fraud and nothing but a vulture preying on people’s grief. Montel’s association with her has lead me to completely lose all the respect for him that I once had.

Montel has no honor…why he continues to schill for a fraud such as Sylvia is beyond me. Anyone who doubts Sylvia is a fraud is free to check out stopsylviabrowne.com…unless you’re afraid of the truth.

If Montel lets Sylvia appear on his show then he must change the title from “Living Well with Montel” to “Encouraging exploitation using a shyster with Montel.” Montel is a joke if he uses the name healthy in the title of his show yet gives unscrupulous quacks a platform to push their toxic wares.

If Montel’s “people,” or Montel himself, still give Sylvia Browne a platform after reading the evidence of her disgraceful, abhorent behavior on StopSylviaBrowne.com, they are every bit as evil as she is. Montel, did you sell your honor to the devil?

Sylvia did so well on Shawn Hornbeck, didn’t she? She was WRONG on everything she said about him. Did she ever apologize to his parents? I know the answer to that, no, she didn’t. How inhuman can you be, that you represent yourself as having some special gift and when you say something that awful and are proven wrong, you don’t even apologize to the family for any grief you may have caused. Never mind the time that was wasted by family and friends trying to follow up on anything she said. I just hope it didn’t waste any police time, because for that she should be fined at the very least.

Last thing anyone needs is for her to be given more free air time, more free publicity to her bogus abilities. She should have no more chances to mislead and harm grieving parents on National television.

Oh, we understand alright. Sylvia TRIED to backpaddle when she farked up and said the miners were still alive. She really drowned in it when she tried to say where dead children were. She said twenty years ago that 2 year-old Michael would be found after he was taken from the baseball game, and he’s STILL missing. Her guesses suck, obviously dead people don’t talk to her. Selective memories can’t protect her anymore. The only time she gets things right is if the media has already reported on it. Get a clue and stop paying her for her lies.

Go Montel.. and Go Sylvia Browne.. Both are wonderful humanitarians and wonderful people.. Anyone that chooses not to follow Sylvia.. just have the common sense to find something else to do on the day Montel has Sylvia on his show.. You certainly dont have to tune in that day.. Millions of people will tune in to watch Sylvia on Montel. The two have a unique friendship and its refreshing to see two such wonderful friends helping so many for God. I am saddened to see skeptics try to get on something like this and flood it with voting no.. what right do you have to judge anyone… ??? Please.. like Sylvia says.. take what you will and leave the rest… and those are wonderful words. If you do not believe in Sylvia.. then hey.. dont watch on the day she is on Montels new show.. its as simple as that. If the networks are stupid enough to say no based on something like this that is obviously flooded and set up to keep Sylvia off the show then hey.. they dont deserve to have Montel on their network in the first place.. let him go to another network and boost their ratings.. because he will and so will Sylvia Browne.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after reading the comment from #6 scott & #7 Dave: I have stood in front of Sylvia, I do have simular gifts but at the same time they are different, either way~ SYLVIA BROWNE IS TbeHE REAL DEAL. I have stood in front of her~ not for questions either~ i have communicated with her and if you do not have the knowledge of how Spiritual Translators (which is REALLY what “Psychics” are) then go READ< STUDY Brightest Blessings,

Montel has this option and I hope someone like Oprah would not interfer with the new show. I’d like to go see montel sometime and think Sylvia belongs at his side on his new show too! I really dislike human who choose to use their “pull” to destroy another just to help them rise up! Too many people in this world do that and it’s DESTORYING us! I ask God to protect BOTH Montel Williams AND Sylvia Browne, that anyone who tries to harm their progress would have it backfire on them before it even affects either of them! can I get an AMEN!!!

Great, now Sylvia Browne has a new outlet to prey on innocent victims during their most difficult moments. Montel still hasn’t answered Hal Bidlock’s open letter “Montel, Have You Lost Your Honor?” regarding his senseless promotion of such a con artist. I would urge any Montel fans who wish him to maintain any respectable reputation to write him and ask that he address the questions in the letter.

By: Sylvia Browne

Sylvia Browne — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:01:45 +0000

I’m seeing Montel coming back with a completely new format, or maybe with a reworking of his old format. Either way there’s a distinct feeling of renewal and novelty, but with strong ties to the past. It will possibly be picked up by a new network, or else it will be turned down, but not because they think it will fail, but for some other reason that starts with a J or an M, possibly an O. There’s certainly a strong sensation of influence, either positive or negative, from an authority figure of some sort, someone with ties to the television industry.

i thought Montel did a pretty good show, but I could never get over his indignation towards gays striving for equality and civil rights. Mr. Montel always seemed to take this matter as encroachment on the fight for black civil rights, instead of being able to see them as two related, but different, matters. That always disappointed me.

Sylvia Browne is a fraud. It is a sad commentary on society that people like this are given even an ounce of credibility when they prey on the weak and ignorant. I hope that Sylvia Browne gets prosecuted someday for the crap she pulls on people. She is an evil person.

I’m all for a comeback…provided he leaves behind the psychics and similar flakes. Sylvia Browne in particular, needs to be left far behind in the dirt. She’s a cynical fraud. Her fans trumpet her “hits” (which are vague enough to mean nearly anything), and completely ignore her “misses”. Most “psychics” are talented or skilled “cold readers”, people whi can intuit details about others by noting their subtle expressions. The rest are either fooling themselves or genuinely delusional.

Stay grounded in the real world.

I was diagnosed with MS in 1994 I knew something was terribly wrong with me but was always dismissed by “Drs.” as ” all in my head ”
it took about 10 yrs to get my diagnoses. By the time i accepted it, and not knowing there was any kind of help……..financially….or otherwise…..I had not worked {paid into s.s.} that It was too late.to qualify for anything. I felt so worhless…not contributing financially to the home. Watching Montel always made me feel like it was a place where I fit in and was understood….even though I had never met Montel {he would understand} me so i watched him, and for that one
hour i had a place where I was understood and I it seemed to make me feel WHOLE again………THANK YOU MONTEL I will miss you …….Congratulations on your marriage…….I live in Jackson,Tennessee as I read your wife is from here also.

A comeback is exactly what his fans want! He had a classy talk show and we miss it dearly. At least we’ll be able to see him on Guiding Light soon! Love your blog!
