O Show do Dr. Oz

I can't believe how childish this show is! Dr oz brings people from the audience to participate in poking dried up body parts where a dried human liver looks identical to dried kidney! The concept is a cross between medical information and a game show with childish women! There is so much time wasted with the audience members that it becomes unbearable! The games he plays are absolutely ridiculous and instead of the information being delivered effectively there is lot of stuffing around with childish games that are tedious and end nowhere! The format of the show is again juvenile and an insult to our intelligence! I just turned over to the Dr oz show to see what topics he was addressing today and surprise surprise, it was about diets for the 10,000 th time! I think that he has addressed the subject of what constitutes a good diet enough but obviously he doesn't think so! I can't believe Oprah was associated with this show being as bad as it is!

I never watched this show much. That being said after watching Dr. Oz's so- called biased interview with Roseanne Barr this week I will never watch it again . This man bullied and tried to tear down a woman who was in the show to apologize for a statement she made that has been blown out of proportion. This man asked her on the show then railroaded her and followed up with a panel of so called experts who continued to Judge and tear Ms. Barr apart . It was heartbreaking and just disgusting. Would not recommend!

The program is geared toward people with absolutely no attention span and offers little useful information. Mostly sensational in its format, the presentations are geared toward selling a nutrient, micro nutrient, or "procedure" being marketed by the guests. Medically and scientifically, the show has huge gaps.

The games he used to have at the end, "Jeopardy-like" were abandoned this season -- and good riddance. They made a mockery of both the contestants and the issues being addressed -- the games were supposed to be substantive, to teach the viewer something. They always fell short.

A final observation: there is rarely any follow up with the guests who've had to lose considerable weight, or whom he's challenged to make major changes in lifestyle. Why? Doesn't he/producers believe in what they're doing? Let's see these successes (or not) and work harder to help them, rather than just making 'examples' out of them on TV.

Why does he always touch the female audience members?

I've noticed it from the beginning. He is touchy like a guy named Joe.

Anyways it's an educational show. whether or not Oz is an actual doctor or 100% accurate or not. The show has some positive qualities. I mean I rather watch this than the Oprah show or the bachelor at any means.

Oz is a good host, he is direct and has good communication skills despite his touchy hands.

I'm pretty sure he beats around the bush on some topics due to the fact the health industry is a business. They need sick people.

Verdict: Wizard of Oz of the land of the sick.

IT HAS BEEN said that "Politics makes for strange bedfellows." Well, just a word to the wise for whomever it was who did say that, well so does daytime television.

IT WAS QUITE by accident that we stumbled onto this gem of an information bank. Wehad of course, heard about him and his ride to fame in the electronic media, due to his association with Oprah Winfrey. Being vaguely familiar, however, did not last long once we got a load of his hourly 'appointments.'

UPON FIRST OBSERVATION one would surmise that this was strictly a women's show; for, after all, the audience seems to be, like Ivory Snow, 99 44/100 female. It is easy to see why; for Dr. Oz, that sly fox, is a born Ladies' Man! Energetic and truly pleasant, he always charms. He never appears to be using a teleprompter, nor to be using any previously prepared scripted material. Intelligent, natural and humble are three of his strong points, among others.

ALTHOUGH THE GOOD Doctor's audience may be a girl's club, the information he presents is largely useful to anyone, regardless of their sex. Nutrition myths exploded seems to be a major theme; as Doc presents us with examples of the latest evidence about just what's good for us. As often as not, segments like this are dramatized with the assistance of an MD or PhD, who has both extensive experience and expertise in that particular field being discussed.

INSTINCTIVELY, THE SHOW'S production team knew to make maximum use of audience participation by audience members. Certain subject matter will also require the use of his "Special Assistant" of the day; an honor that seems likely to be as coveted as "Prom Queen" or "Miss Congeniality!"

THE VARIOUS 'SKITS' that are carefully contrived to be both entertaining and informative, are some over-sized "Rube Goldberg-type" props. In that manner, humor is added to the programs arsenal. And this would be the sort of humor that often makes reference to that which is already familiar to us in the Pop Culture world. His mock panel show, 'FAMILY FOOD', is a prime example.

IF YOU AREN'T yet familiar with THE DR.OZ SHOW, you should give it a try; even if you are a male. But remember, view it with pen and notebook in hand. But, if you don't keep a running short hand narrative, no problem; for his programs may be downloaded at his website www.doctoroz.com. (Clever, these Americans!)
