The CBS blurb:



The actual premiere show :

The panel is made up of the regulars from the Dr. Phil Show, so I assume this is owned by his production company. Dr. Travis, the hunky blue-eyed doc, wearing scrubs, is the host. Then there's the Neanderthal-looking plastic surgeon, the ditsy OB/GYN and two others.

There was a brief discussion of insomnia. People take too many sleeping pills. Somebody said it's okay to take one once in a while if you really, really need a good night's sleep. WTF? The rest of the time, just suck it up, I guess.

Then they talked about women selling their eggs. Dr. Lisa said it was the same as selling body parts. She started to make a good point by saying it isn't known what the effects on women are of having their eggs harvested, but instead of talking about the incredibly powerful hormones they have to take which might have lasting effects, she merely said the procedure is painful and causes cramping. Well, people are getting thousands of dollars for their eggs, so that doesn't sound like a bad trade. Then one of the other members of the braintrust said if they donated their eggs, they wouldn't have any left when they wanted to have babies of their own. Then Lisa compared it to cutting off your hand for $5,000, or legalized prostitution.

They had a 50-something woman who is carrying triplets for her daughter. They did an ultrasound to determine the genders of the babies.

Then they had a segment on how to get children to sleep. This involved tricking a little girl into going to bed. Of course it worked when the doctor was there, but the next night, the kid was back to running things. She was so much smarter than her parents. The parents had no intention of following the doctor's recommendations.

A woman sent in a video asking about menstrual cramps.

I didn't hear anything that would be embarrassing to ask, but then if they were uncomfortable with the subject, why would they come on TV to ask?

I watched this show for the past two weeks (sort of half listening while doing other things) and found it semi-interesting until I actually caught some of the credits, which mentioned Jay McGraw and Dr. Phil McGraw -- shudder. Don't know in what capacity each of the McGraws are in, but I would hazard a guess at some sort of producing. Anyway...makes me wonder if any of these doctors are actually doctors!

Dr Phil said it's Jay's show and that Jay is also exec. producer. My guess would have been it's Oprah's show. lol

I enjoy this show for the most part, though it is certainly cheesy and Dr. Bachelor isn't all that good of an emcee. I don't like the plastic surgeon guy pimping his latest procedures though, he's too creepy.

Dr. Plastic Surgeon Guy was pretty peeved over the 12 year old getting the lipo, though, wasn't he? What was wrong with that girl's parents? Let's not make her work out and eat right...let's just get her plastic surgery to fix her weight issue...that way she look just like the rest of the family -- trashy mother!

Finally saw a part of this mess today. Wow.
This is like the worst show ever.
The only thing I can applaud it for is bumping Rachael Ray off that spot and network to a different one I never see, other than that.... there is absolutely nothing to recommend this show.
It is horribly fake, pandering to the lowest common denominator..... and just... really really bad.

The early puberty topic was interesting. I started menstruation 2 months after my 2 years older sister did. I was the tallest in my 5th grade class, but stopped growing by 6th grade. But I kept the tall attitude [my clogs help].

yes, folks, cold sores are contagious. Please don't try to kiss me when you have an active one.

If the tabloids are to be believed, the show is a big source of contention between Oprah and the McGraws because she has a Dr. Oz spin-off in the works and feels this show will steal the other one's thunder.

I am going to tune into the DrOz show for sure (trusting & hoping) it is in my cable/network offering of choices & would or could care less if I ever tune in to The Doctors program. It is the last show, I tune into or land upon when channel or remote surfing during commercials.

There's no comparison between Dr. Oz and the Bachelor. I will DEFINITELY watch Dr. Oz faithfully. Love him and his way of describing things and (what I imagine to be) his excellent bedside manner.

The OB/Gyn reminds me too much of Paula Abdul. And the host is pretty annoying. Other than that... haha

Lol he looks like Richie Cunningham turned into smug frat boy.

I don't get PMS myself [well my lower back can get achy if I haven't been exercising] but most husbands I know do understand it is a genuine problem for their wives.

Thank you!! I said the exact same thing to my mom, she sounds exactly like her. Only Paula is slightly more drunk.

Is the plastic surgeon dude the doctor from the now defunct reality show The Swan? Wasn't he the one that always talked about "cankles?" (which as I learned from the show, are when the area of the leg below the calf and above the ankle are not suitably sculpted, thus a more straight and less attractive appearance)

Is Dr. Travis the same Travis from "The Bachelor"?

Dr. Travis is indeed our beloved ex-Bachelor, Dr. Travis Stork. Who, as I recall, pushed his "I just want to be a regular ole' doctor someplace in Colorado" schtick on the Bachelor. Apparently he took a detour on Famewhorism Boulevard along the way.

It is quite obvious that Doc Travis has a preference to be at the other end of a TV camera versus an endoscopic camera.

I only saw part of today's show. Trace Atkins (Adkins?) was on talking about food allergies in kids. He and his wife have a daughter who has a peanut allergy. While I cannot imagine how awful and scary that has to be, who the fuck give s nine month old baby a peanut butter sandwich???? Bloody hell, she wasn't even their first kid. Dummy parents.

Okay, I had to laugh at this show. When their guest dermatologist is Dr. Wil from the Big Brother Show, you know they are all famewhores. Oh puleaase!! Thank goodness all they had Wil do was a scraping to check for jock itch. Seriously.

Hilarious today with Joan Rivers. As to my "g spot, it's like Amelia Earhart; men gave up the search over thirty years ago." But, the real surprise was that a contest winner for a surgical makeover was none other than Summer, late of "Starting Over." What a trip. She'll be back on - after her surgery to tighten up her skin after she lost 150 pounds (just before her gig on SO) through by-pass surgery.

I went to a taping of this show two weeks ago. I have nothing interesting to add except that a) half the audience was extras, b) the warm-up comic is TERRIBLE, and c) Travis Stork is a beautiful beautiful man.

While not a regular viewer of this show, I happened to catch an episode last night. The plastic surgeon's wife was brought on stage, and her face was pulled tighter than an elastic band...for a second, I thought it was going to split right down the middle. The woman could barely blink! If this is an example of the good doctor's work, run ladies, run!

I watched thios for the first time today and I thought it was informative. Robin McGraw was on talking about something called "Bioidentical Hormones"

Hi livinggreen!

This sounds like a reprise of the show she did with Dr Phil last week.

Like you, I was similarly intrigued during the 'Dr Phil' presentation, but when I did the research on the center and the process, I found that the website they sent us to for looking up a compounding pharmacist was 'momentarily out of service' and, further, found articles, including one from the Mayo Clinic, that indicated this process was not validated by the FDA and that some of the elements used in the compounding were not necessarily the safest things on the block.

There are, according to these articles, naturally occurring hormones that will do the job more safely.

My problem with her presentation is, they make a big deal out of the low levels of the four hormones, then they treat you. That's fine, but they don't tell me what improvement is made in the hormone levels after the treatments. I don't want to use the term 'placebo', but without the evidence of actual improvement by the numbers (that they use to justify the treatment), it just makes the whole thing suspect, to me.

I have no evidence for this, but I have to wonder how much Robin is getting from the clinic to represent their product like that - it was almost an infomercial (last week, anyway).

Because of the way Robin was pushing "Bioidentical Hormones" I thought that maybe she has stock in the company?

I'm sure there's some sort of compensation for her efforts.

It's just not safe when there's no support for it in the medical community.

So this is why Jay's trashy wife and her 2 identical sisters were on today! I haven't ever seen this show, but had flipped it on. I was interested in the fertility discussion, and instead it was the most insipid and vapid discussion EVER. Ugh.

Can't wait for Dr. Oz's show. I hope he has substantive discussions like he has on Oprah.

All this talk about Jays wife being a triplet and Robin is a twin and all that other family crap and here it is all 3 are having single babies. HAHA. But it is kind of funny in a way all three single babys are genetic half sisters, since there mom's are identical triplets.

I randomly caught this show today. What is with those triplets dressing alike? They even wore matching outfits in their taped at home segments. They seem well into their 30's and are about to become mothers. Can you say immature and strange? How nice they pimped out their unborn children on television too under the guise of educating the public.

Dr. Phil and his creepy wife acted so smug backstage like we should care about their lives. They are over-the-top annoying and completely ridiculous. The show was so unwatchable...that I watched. But won't again.

They've dressed alike on every show I've seen them on, it's quite obnoxious but I guess it's their schtick.They posed for Playboy together in 1998 and did some Playboy videoes together(eww)
I finally realized who I think they look like-a younger version of Laurie from The Real Housewives of Orange County lol
