Atkins videos

[Chef Kevin]

Man oh man!!
I was watching the Atkins videos from 1999.
they are so badly made.

I forgot I even owned them, but I was cleaning up a room and found them.

The have so little information in them. I remembered being disappointed in them, now i remember why!!!

The man was a doctor, not an actor, let's just say that.....

Re: Atkins videos

I have his last interview that he did before he died on a VHS tape. I've read that he was very shy and didn't like doing tv appearances. Like you said, he isn't an actor, but nonetheless.. he is my hero.

Re: Atkins videos

I watched an interview with him on Larry King once, and I was actually quite impressed by him. He was so passionate and well spoken.

It would make me kinda nervous if I thought he was "acting" though.

Re: Atkins videos

I remember, WAY back when Dr. A had just published his first book, he appeared on the Merv Griffin show. Connie Francis was on the show, as well (anyone remember her?). She said that she tried his diet and couldn't get off the sofa on the third day. The audience got a big laugh out of that, and he looked extremely embarrassed -- I remember that I felt very sorry for him. Of course, now we all know about the "induction 'flu" that she was experiencing, and that it's quite normal.

Re: Atkins videos

I read somewhere that he got into a shouting match with Pritikin on either "Mervin Griffin" or "The Mike Douglas Show". And that resulted in a lawsuit or two....Now I would like to see THAT program!
