Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 66 | The Doctors segment is on in CA at 11 AM on KCAL channel 9. It will be on the show in other time zones also. Please check your listings for Friday AM if you are interested in seeing it. I may have a word document that I can send to people who ask me for it by email tomorrow that has national channels and listings, but you can likely get the same information from their web site for your own community.

I'll be setting my TIVO. Don't be too disapponted if it doesn't air as scheduled. I was bounced around for at least a month and a half once.

I found the show on at 3:00 pm here in Central FL on CBS, but the show description says "An allergist describes the latest methods of testing and treatment, near-death experiences."
I'm glad you wrote this post because I had scheduled my TV programming for that show and it would have been the wrong one. I guess I'll try going back on the site and look for our subject on another day.

Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 250 | Brian, Just checked. The "Doctors" web site says 10/31. And their schedule on the web site matches what my cable TV info says for each day Mon thru Thurs. But then Friday per the web site is the HPV/OC show, but the cable TV info for Friday says as I stated above. Maybe my cable company info is wrong - been known to be. Or maybe we're being censured - been known to happen. Sometimes the local stations just don't show a nationwide show because they don't want to. So I'll watch the show On Friday at 3:00 pm and we'll see, I guess. Lani

Joined: May 2006 Posts: 720 Likes: 1 | My TiVo information for Friday shows the same thing that Lani posted -- allergist and near-death experiences -- plus tummy tucks (woo hoo!).
It may be that those topics comprised the program that was originally planned for that hour -- but that when the GMA segment appeared, the producers of "The Doctors" jumped on a hot topic (oral sex! oral cancer!) and put something together but didn't send out changes for the cable/TiVo guides. It sounds from what Teresa said a couple of pages ago that she was already in contact with the producers, so perhaps they just hurried up their plans.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.

That's actually good news to me. I know that sometimes our local stations just "decide" that we in Central FL won't want to see or aren't interested in watching what the networks are showing and show something else instead. I'm glad that this is probably not the case here, since you show the same thing up there in DC.

Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 66 | I talked to the producer today - it IS this Friday. This is sweeps week on TV and they think this is a strong story line for the sweeps. There are no guarantees in life and TV shows have multiple producers etc. someone may shift the segment choices that they have in the can at any time.
