'Dr. Oz Show' canceled by Sony Pictures

Sony Pictures on Monday said it will end its long-running “The Dr. Oz Show” next month, a move that comes weeks after host Mehmet Oz announced he will run for the Senate as a Republican out of Pennsylvania.

Sony did not cite Oz’s candidacy in its announcement that his syndicated show will be replaced by its spinoff, “The Good Dish.” That show, hosted by his daughter Daphne Oz, will premiere Jan. 17, three days after the last broadcast of “Dr. Oz.”

But the decision comes nearly two weeks after TV stations in New York City, Philadelphia and Cleveland said they would no longer broadcast the show because of the Federal Communications Commission’s equal-time rules.

Those rules allow candidates to ask for air time from TV stations that carry content, and the stations that dropped the show all are seen in parts of Pennsylvania.

That's what I'd want.

9. Same here

Go back to working in a hospital

11. As an orderly cleaning bedpans.

I wouldn't trust that quack doing anything else.

[Rebl2]

12. I don't

disagree with you there!

3. Glad to see that crappy show go off the air, no matter what the reason is!

4. too bad they're not wiping the show right now! nt

[Woodswalker]

5. I have no problem

seeing Republicans being shafted or silenced in anyway. What comes around goes around

[ShazamIam]

6. It has been a long time since I agreed with a Sony action, they have been big players in

monopolizing and limiting access to creative works, nice to see this too creative tv personality, cancelled.
Of course since Sony endorses the economic and political aims of authoritarianism, they don't want to be accused of providing free campaign coverage.

7. The Good Dish is about food and cooking

that family should stay away from health advice.

18. Does every recipe include 'magic beans'?

With Ivermectin sauce?

[IronLionZion]

19. Wash it down with some refreshing bleach

Dude is a total quack so not sure if I would trust his daughter's recipes.

[Rebl2]

8. About time

Should have been done years ago.

[JohnSJ]

10. He should be cancelled for all the quacks he pushed on his show

[badhair77]

13. His show was on our local channel

but they pulled it as soon as he announced his candidacy. Good decision. But now his political ads are on all day. They’re hard to avoid.

14. So the first moment she talks about his campaign, will she be booted?

[Rebl2]

15. Hopefully.

She also better not have him on as a guest. I remember many years ago the mayor of KC had a daughter that was a reporter on a local news station. She was never allowed to do any stories regarding politics.

16. Jerry Springer has more credibility that huckster who besmirches the land of Oz...

...and Australian doctors as well. 😁

17. I've always said a pox on oprah for introducing drs

phil, and oz, two quacks
