p0st ThrEE:: 'The Doctors' talk show adds depth to medical drama
With the growing popularity of shows such as "ER", "House" and "Grey's Anatomy" one may ask themselves if thier medical substance is accurate and or full of any content what so ever. Information about health and medicine are shown on these fictional TV shows but sometimes these shows focus more on the dramatic appeal instead of what is real. These shows create a false illusion about the medical world. Considering how popular "Greys Anatomy"is, i can only hope that the audience does not believe eveyrthing that is dramatically portrayed on the shoew. With that being said, CBS wanted to correct this misconception of the fictional medical world which is why they premiered thier newest show "The Doctors" on September 8th. This show unlike ER and Greys anatomy raises the bar and delivers accurate health infromation to the viewers. I believe this is a great idea becuase the world needs to focus on real issues such as eating small, frequent melas instead of few larger meals and how increasing lean body mass will rev metabolism which are all discused on the show. Over all i just worry that the audience that watch these shows and buy into all of the story lines and medical content. CBS is doing a good thing by preimiering this show which will hopefully spark the medical knowledge of many viewers.

I agree that this could be a good thing for viewers. I love watching Grey’s Anatomy, but do realize that a lot of the scenarios are not realistic at all. However, I am sure that many younger kids watch these shows and think that they are real. It is good that these misconceptions can be cleared up with a show that shows the truth.
This is a pretty cool idea for a show. Im not sure a lot of people believe that grey's anatomy is what the medical world is really like, but its good that they have a realistic and helpful depiction of it on TV as well
