Sony, Harpo Bringing ‘Dr. Oz’ to Syndication

Jun 13, 2008  •  Post A Comment

Sony Pictures Television and Harpo Entertainment have confirmed that the two companies have agreed to a deal for a syndicated talk show featuring Dr. Mehmet C. Oz, M.D., better known to audiences as Dr. Oz.
The series, featuring the surgeon, author and regular contributor to “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” will debut in first-run syndication next year. The series will be co-produced by Harpo Productions and Sony Pictures Television and distributed by SPT.
“This is a show I believe in,” Ms. Winfrey said. “Judging by the response from our viewers, Dr. Oz has already demonstrated he is a valued and trusted medical expert who has created a deep connection with our audience.”
Under the multiyear agreement, SPT will handle all distribution efforts for the show in the United States and Canada, as well as advertiser sales and marketing, and will co-produce the series with Harpo Productions.
“We are thrilled to be working with Oprah, Dr. Oz and everyone at Harpo on this amazing project,” said Steve Mosko, president of Sony Pictures Television. “It’s a perfect marriage of independent, entrepreneurial companies and a wonderful opportunity for us to work with such tremendously talented people.”
“Medicine has always been my calling,” said Dr. Oz. “This show allows me to share the same passion I bring to my patients with millions of viewers every day. We will empower the audience to live more fully as they take control of their health … and their bodies. I am deeply appreciative to Oprah and to our great partner Sony for this opportunity.”

  1. It’s just what the doctor ordered — for himself!

  2. Dr Oz is cool but a daily tv show?
    I dont think itll last.
    But then again, it has the O seal of approval so maybe.

  3. Where will the show be produced, filmed etc?

  4. I am looking to find a Doctor to help my sons’
    left hip joint ball damage from MRSA to be fixed.
    He needs it fixed in order to walk again. He was
    crippled at the age of 13 from the MRSA, he had
    multiple septic joints from the MRSA, because,
    he was in a Detention Facility for getting tickets at school, and they refused to take him to get medical treatment, dispite his pleas to
    the Detention Officers, and My Pleas to rush him
    to the Emergency Room, and Pleas from his Sister
    to rush him to the Emergency Room. The Detention
    Center ignored him as he got sicker and sicker daily, they finally took him to a doctor on March
    10, 2008, that did not diagnose the correct problem or take blood, and he had 53 surgeries
    including an opened heart surgery, to save his
    life. Now he is crippled, he got endocarditis from the MRSA that was around his heart, it put a
    big hole in his heart valve, that was recently repaired, he was in ICU for 3.5 weeks, and in the
    hospital for 3 months. He was perfectly normal
    physically before he got MRSA. Now one year later, the MRSA is gone, we have had his heart fixed and we need to get his left hip joint ball,
    which is still in tact, but, damaged, to heal by
    some means, maybe embroynic stem cells, it does have a little bit of cartilage left, but, he is in sever pain, and he has to go to a pain management doctor, to get methadone, and hydrocodone, just so he can limp badly to classes, ride in a wheelchair, or use his crutches, which he is suppossed to do, but, he is
    too embararrassed to use them, he says the kids
    are laughing at him because he is handicapped now, so, he limps in pain to classes, just so he
    won’t be stared at because of now being handicapped. Can you fix my sons left hip joint
    ball damage, that needs to heal with embryonic
    Stem Cells.
    Thank You,

  8. Wonderful to read!

  9. All of this remark may possibly make it’s exasperation manifest. The following opinion careens in no time to pet peeves that have already zero to do with the page, centering as a substitute on generalizations concerning woman, races, bicyclists, and even an ethnicity talked about using an adjective employed for a noun. Another coded hurtful statement is added, followed at once by allegations of the “race card” currently being played.

  39. I am not in fact sure if best methods cover emerged almost stuff similar to that, other than I am positive that your big work is visibly discovered. I was thinking if you offer some membership near your RSS feeds as I would be very interested.

  40. Really interesting. I like the way you create. Do you at present have an RSS feed?

  41. When my son was in this juv. det. center he had a broken jaw, injured left hip joint and pelvis area, fractured arm, and bruises all over him on 3/3/2008, the day they moved his cell and he was found by another juv. det. center officer without a mattress, I think at 11:00 p.m.. When Ellis co. picked him up on 3/12/2008, they diverted him to the Waxahachie Baylor Hospital where a wonderful angel, Dr. Haley Wagner, his normal pediatrician was on duty in the hospital at the Emergency Room. He had barbiturates in his body, he said a juv. detention officer gave them to him, he first complained of pain when he woke up and he could not move on 3/4/2008. He had a high heart rate and blood pressure, bruises, broken bones, he was very dehydrated, his liver and kidney were shutting down, he had stopped producing blood cells, he was disoriented, pnuemonia, and Dr. Haley Wagner there saved his life by spending 24 hours studying his blood to see why he had stopped producing platelets. She said it was either MRSA in the blood which kills you in 10 days, or another blood disorder, she told me to pray. She sent him to Medical City Dallas, where they discovered it was MRSA, they intebated him, and sent him by ambulance to Cooks Childrens Hospital, where Dr. Christopher Vara, Dr. Eric Zurich, Dr. Lisa Roten, Dr. Thompson, all angels, also the Dr. at Medical City was an angel, saved his life. Dr. Vara performed 48 surgeries on his 9 septic joints from MRSA, which he told me that he probably was not going to live because he had gotten him on the tenth day of the MRSA, he said it started approx. 3/5/2008, Hunt let him stay in his cell from 3/4/2008 in pain, with broken bones, barbiturates in his body, complaining of pain with MRSA in the blood for 6 days, with him complaining of pain before they took him to seek medical treatment by a Physicians Assistant, NOT A REAL DOCTOR, she/he did not diagnose the MRSA. The MRSA was so bad it gave him a big hole in his Mitral Valve, he had 3 heart surgeries, 1 opened heart. He had 48 surgeries to get the MRSA out of his body, and he lived, and he has had jaw surgery to fix the broken jaw bone that grew back crooked, and 7 addl. hip surgeries so far. He has to get a hip replacement, and he may have to have the ring replaced around his heart later, and have all of the other 8 septic joints replaced at an early age. He may be in a wheelchair around 50 or so, depending on how his hip replacements go.

  42. The MRSA did start in the injured hip and pelvis, per the doctor, but, the MRSA ATE almost all of the cartilage, and this has made the hip not rotate, and he can only limp now, and to do that he has to take very strong pain medications, and he can no longer run, or play sports, skateboard, ride his horse, motorcycle or bike. He can only lift his left leg 3 or so inches now, and he has a hard time getting in the car, putting on his sock, and he can climb stairs, but, he must turn sideways to do that. This did not have to happen, they could have taken him to a real doctor, when he first started complaining of pain, and they could have gotten him the medicines that he needed to the MRSA would not have gotten septic, and eaten almost all of the cartilage in the injured left hip joint and pelvis area. Also, I find it very strange that some of these doctors got the events all wrong before he arrived at Cooks, but, I guess it was because he was on the edge of death when he arrived there on 3/15/2008. These doctors, all were angels, and I give Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit the Glory for saving Chances’ life.
