Actor Corey Haim Found Dead

Corey Haim 1971 – 2010

There once was a story. A story with two Coreys. It was a story Hollywood would tell many times with Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. One Corey was good; while the other Corey not so good. One was a clean-cut kid that seem to have everything and the other seem to find his way into a lot of troubles. In many fans eyes, the good Corey was Corey Haim and the bad one was Corey Feldman. If there was ever a time we would wake up to shocking news about an overdose on drugs; many would have believe the headlines would have read “Actor Corey Feldman Found Dead” and not the one we all woke up to this morning, that had it the other way around. Both Coreys had a lot of good times and their fans saw them as the best of friends on and off the big screen in Hollywood movies. The reason I mention Corey Feldman, is because you really can’t have one without the other. They were like twins, brothers, or maybe just like peanut butter and jelly. They went together and they was a perfect fit for each other. As a fan, I admire both Coreys and sad to see one-half gone today; when I woke up to see that actor Corey Haim was found dead in the early morning hours in Burbank, California.

Corey Feldman & Corey Haim

Corey Haim was only 38 years old and even though he was took away from us all too soon, he has lived more in his 38 years; than most of us will ever live in our own lives. We could live to be 100 years old and I think Corey Haim would have still lived a fuller life. He was very young when he started acting and met up with his good friend Corey Feldman. Both of the Coreys played in a lot of good movies, but I think the one I like most or will remember the most is a 1992 movie called Blown Away. This movie featured Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, and Nicole Eggert. We got to see little Jamie from Charles in Charge grow up in this one and she wasn’t so innocent in this Corey Haim flick.

Blown Away – Corey Haim & Nicole Eggert

Corey Haim also had an innocent start in Hollywood with one of his early movies called Silver Bullet. The 1985 movie Silver Bullet was one of my favorite Corey Haim movies. I have seen this movie about a dozen times and even as an adult now, I still like to watch this one. Corey plays a crippled kid in a wheelchair, but wait until his uncle Red (Gary Busey) fixes up that wheelchair. I don’t know anyone that didn’t like to see Marty (played by Corey Haim), his sister and actor Gary Busey as Uncle Red take on a werewolf. This is one of Stephen King’s best movies and it’s a must-see for anyone who hasn’t ever seen Silver Bullet with Corey Haim. If any TV stations have a Corey Haim tribute this weekend, you can bet that Silver Bullet will be one of the movies featured.

*Corey Haim Movie List*

1. Silver Bullet

2. Lucas

3. The Lost Boys

4. License To Drive

5. Watchers

6. Dream a Little Dream

7. Blown Away

8. Dream a Little Dream 2

9. Demolition High

10. Merlin

11. Lost Boys 2

12. American Sunset

Those are just some of the Corey Haim movies that were popular or ones he was best known for. He played in about a dozen other movies and also had a reality TV spot in 2007. The reality show was called The Two Coreys and he was once again paired up with his good friend Corey Feldman. Which Corey Haim movie or movies did you like best?

Corey Haim was one of the good guys. For anyone that grew up in the 1980’s, you could see Corey Haim on all the TV channels and on all the covers for the teen magazines. He was a big 80’s teen idol and there weren’t many that were bigger than Corey Haim, if there was any. All the guys wanted to be him and the girls wanted to be with him. He was certainly one of the teen legends from the 1980’s; in which that decade produced so many teen idols in both male and female variety. You can talk about Michael J. Fox, Kirk Cameron, Corey Feldman, Scott Baio, and all the other popular ones and Corey Haim was right up there with them all. The female teen idols from the 1980’s like Nicole Eggert or Alyssa Milano was also good friends with Corey Haim. Alyssa Milano was “Sam” on Who’s the Boss and I saw earlier on CNN News where they was showing a quote from her on her Twitter page in regards to the passing away of Corey Haim.

Alyssa Milano and Corey Haim

Corey Haim’s life today can be called a tragic one and one that didn’t have a happy ending on March 10th. If you were doing the story of Corey Haim’s life on March 9th in 2010; then you would have seen a great Hollywood story and one that was taking a few bumps as he was approaching 40. Now we will never get to see a 40 year-old Corey Haim, due to an accidental over dose in Burbank, California in the early morning hours local time. I look forward to seeing which TV stations will honor the legacy of Corey Haim and all the upcoming specials that will soon be airing his life story. RIP Corey Haim…

  • Taking Care of the Colon

    A colon cleanser is one of the best ways to insure we have a healthy and productive colon. I have never had my colon cleaned before and I’m sure it is in need of a good cleaning. A colon cleanse product doesn’t cost that much money and the benefits it can provide is really good. A lot of bad things get built up in the colon and can cause problems down the road. We can get rid of these poisons and toxins with a colon cleanser. 10 years ago we didn’t hear much about getting our colons cleaned. Today the ads are all over the TV and computer for various products that can help us clean our colon. I think my body could use one of these products and this is something I need to do in the near future.

  • Do you have any good tips for helping with those awful dark circles we get around the eyes? Please feel free to list any home remedies you may have tried or heard about. Some people will use hydrolyze to help with their problems associated with dark circles around the eyes. Have you ever tried this product before?

    I wonder how much sleep affects these dark circles? I know people that don’t get a good night’s sleep will have bags under their eyes. Sleep is important for many things and it’s a chance for our body to heal itself. If you are not getting a good night’s sleep, you may have a more serious problem than just the dark circles around the eyes. In some cases, sleep isn’t an issue and people with good sleeping patterns still develop these dark circles. If you know you’re getting plenty of sleep, maybe you should be looking for products or home remedies to assist with your eye problem.

  • Women Seeking Health Supplements

    In recent years we have been able to learn more about the effect of vitamins and supplements on the body. Using vitamins over a long sustained period of time has shown good results in men and women both. Sometimes these vitamins provide essential minerals that our body doesn’t produce daily, but needs it in order to perform it’s daily duties. It works best when we get these minerals from our food, but for those that don’t eat balanced meals each day, this can become a problem.

    We see more and more women today taking vitamins. It’s not just the prenatal vitamins either, but the vitamins that provide other health benefits. Women are living healthier lives as a result of a lot of the vitamins they are taking each day. All women should consider some type of vitamin to include in their diets. It doesn’t have to be a daily thing, but every other day would be a good starting point. The women that like to go on diets to lose weight, may need vitamins to get the minerals their bodies need daily. It can be dangerous eating less foods and relying on vitamins for your nutrition. Asking your doctor is always the best method for safe and effective results. Try to get your daily requirements from the foods you eat each day and rely on vitamins as a 2nd source of good health. As long as women continue to buy and use these health supplements; look for the drug companies to continue to mass produce supplements and vitamins for women.

  • Vancouver Hosts 2010 Olympics

    It’s the day athletes from all over the world have waited for. Some athletes have waited 4 years that participated in the last Winter Olympics and others have waited their whole lives for this moment. It’s all about to become a reality for these winter athletes as they get ready for the opening ceremony to begin in Vancouver, Canada. Vancouver is the host city for the 2010 Olympics. I’m sure the whole nation in Canada is ready to get things under way and it’s a great honor when the Olympic Committee selects your nation or city to host any of the Olympic Games.

    I’m a big fan of the Summer Olympics. I love the basketball and watching the talented dream teams that the USA Team gets to strut out there each year. I guess in the Winter Olympics, I would have to say that hockey is my favorite event. It looks like the Americans will put out a pretty talented team in this year’s Winter Olympics in the hockey games. I look forward to seeing how well our team can compete against some of the other powerhouse teams in Olympic Hockey. It seems Russia and Canada are always strong in hockey. I’m sure the Canadians will give a big home field advantage to their team as they face the best hockey players in the world. U.S. Hockey has improved so much in the last 3 decades. No one will ever forget our USA Boys defeating a grown men’s team from Russia in the 1980 Winter Olympics that were held in New York. It was a miracle on ice for sure! No way should we have beat those guys from Russia, but our young American hearts would not give up. The USA Team defeating the USSR Team in 1980 is still probably the greatest American win in the Olympics. At least it’s the greatest moment for this American.

    I look forward to watching other events in this year’s Winter Olympics from Vancouver. Instead of me naming the events I’m most interested in, please tell me the events in which you look forward to the most. Also, please state what country you’re from and which events do you think your country will do the best in. I’m hoping for gold in hockey, but I know the odds are once again against the American Hockey Team. Good luck to your country and now it’s time for the 2010 Winter Olympics to begin!

  • Those Lazy Winter Days

    Not a lot gets done around my house during the winter time. It’s just too cold on most days to get out in the yard and do any work. The more I stay inside; the lazier I seem to get. The less active we get usually shows up on our waist lines. For those that start diets during the winter time or spend the winter on one, I don’t see how they do it. I would imagine it’s much easier to lose weight in the summer time; than for those that try it during the cold winters. If you used the most effective diet pills on the market during these cold days, you may be able to help avoid those extra pounds.

    What activities do you do during the winters? Is there something indoors we could do to keep from gaining weight? Not everyday is cold during the winter time, so there are certain days I could go outside. I guess cutting out the excuses would help me more; than to blame the weather for my laziness. I will perk up again when the fish start running up the river, but I doubt I get much more done until that time arrives. Fishing is usually the first outdoor activity I do; once winter is over with. When it gets time to cut the grass again, I will feel another lazy spell coming on.

  • Tell Your Diet Pill Story

    If you use diet pills to help you lose weight; then please share your stories concerning diet pills. Taking a diet pill each day to lose weight can be an effective tool in the battle for weight loss. Trying the best weight loss pill in the world won’t do much good, if you don’t do other things to assist your weight loss efforts. A good exercise plan and a balance diet is two key factors in losing weight. In most cases, people should start with these two steps first, before they try adding a diet pill to their daily routines.

    Now is a good opportunity for you to share your weight loss stories using diet pills. Good or bad, I would like to hear about your experiences with trying to shed away those pounds with an over the counter diet pill or a prescription diet pill. This information could help others who want to start using diet pills to help them lose more weight. Don’t forget to eat less and exercise more for the best results in any diet plan.

  • Is Losing Weight with Alli Safe?

    The FDA or Food & Drug Administration barely approved the use of Alli on January 23rd 2006. Their approval gave drug makers the ability to sell Alli in small doses over the counter in stores. Even though you can pick up this product at your local drug store, it doesn’t mean it is the best choice you should choose when trying to lose weight. Alli is not everybody and their tame advertisements try to convey this to consumers. You can read other alli weight loss reviews on the Net and see if this is something you want to try to help you lose weight. Anyone wanting to lose weight in 2010 does have a lot of products to choose from. Selecting which product is safest and works best for you, may take a little time with so many to choose from. Just make sure you do your homework and research some of these weight loss products, before you attempt to add one of them to your daily weight loss routines.

  • Losing Weight in 2010

    The clock has passed midnight here on the East Coast, so all those New Years resolutions can start now. Lots of people do this every year, but very few can keep these New Year resolutions active for the whole year. A resolution to do more or less of something and sometimes it’s a resolution to began or stop something all together. The number one thing that most people will choose involves their weight. Some will choose to exercise more; while others may choose a better food diet to accomplish their New Years goals or resolutions in 2010. I think most people trying to diet their way to a better looking figure, would do better if they tried a prescription diet pill like phentermine to help them. Any outside help is welcomed to those that try to lose weight each year. A good diet pill is something most people don’t include in their New Years resolutions and I think they would be better off if they did. Losing weight is not an easy task, but if this is what you picked, I wish you lots of luck! The important thing is to not quit. A slip here and there is fine, but do your best to keep the main goal of losing weight and I think next year you will be able to pick a new New Years resolution; since a slimmer you awaits the 2011 year to come.

  • The Dental Veneers Look

    A nice set of dental veneers is a good way to get that smile back; where you’re showing all of your perfectly straight teeth; that are pearly white in looks. It does take a good dentist to get you set up with your dental veneers. You first need to check with your dentist to see if your teeth are right for this procedure.

    It can be depressing for some of us that are getting older and don’t have those white teeth anymore. It gets worse if we have a tooth that’s been chipped, broke, or missing from our row of teeth. It seems our top teeth in the front are the first ones to pay for us getting older. We can regain our confidence again and get the perfect looking teeth back in our mouths. All those things like brushing and flossing is no good now and older people will have to turn to other ways to get their teeth fixed.

    After you make a visit to the dentist’s office, you can then determine with his or her help on what steps to take next. You may have to choose cosmetic dentistry and most of the older folks will be going down this path. Don’t let it get you down if you need a cosmetic procedure done. It’s just a part of getting older and the people that didn’t take care of their teeth when they were younger, will more than likely need some sort of cosmetic dentistry to help them.

    Your new dental veneers can make your mouth look as good as it did when you was 20 years old.  The veneers can get placed on top of your current teeth and it also goes over any bridge work or crowns you may have had done in the past. The dental veneers will help align your smile and this is a painless procedure. There will be no grinding or shaving done to the parts of your teeth that still remain. The veneers get shaped to fit over your existing dental look. After you get your new veneers, you will be ready to hit the town again with a nice, straight and white look to your smile!

  • The CDC or Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia have recently been warning us of a new strain of flu that is circling the globe. Most of us know this new strain of flu as the Swine Flu. The name has been tweaked a bit and now officials and health authorities would like us to use the name H1N1 instead of swine flu. There is no dangers in eating pork and this is the main reason behind the name change for this new strain of influenza. It does appear that pigs caused this influenza to mutate, but humans can’t contract H1N1 by eating pork chops, bacon, ham, or any other pork related products.

    There are some powerful drugs that doctors are prescribing right now to fight swine flu or H1N1. The big problem here has been the time it takes for some of these medicines to reach the pharmacies or the pharmacy runs out of some of the more popular flu fighting drugs. A new flu vaccine is now available and it’s called Respiratory Guard.

    Respiratory Guard

    I recently started getting the sniffles and figured it was my time to get the H1N1 flu virus, since so many people in my city have been contracting this new flu bug. I was lucky to have recently been given a sample of this Respiratory Guard product and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Now I’m not sure if I was on my way to having H1N1 or not. I don’t often get the sniffles and when I do, it does seem to turn into a nasty cold and makes me feel bad for at least 2 or 3 days. I started taking 2 lozenges a day (recommended dosage) of this dietary supplement called Respiratory Guard. There are key bioactives in this product and it takes them less than 30 minutes to reach the bloodstream. So this is a fast acting product for fighting the flu and boosting up your immune defense. I did keep those sniffles for a couple of days, but I never did develop any unusual coughing or sneezing fits, the watery eyes, or fever that can accompany a bad cold or influenza. I believe the Respiratory Guard did help me to ward off a more serious sickness and it may have even prevented the H1N1 from all I know.

    The good news about Respiratory Guard is that you don’t need a prescription! No doctor or prescription is needed to take these immune boosting lozenges. It taste like blueberries to me, but perhaps it’s another berry called the elderberry that I am tasting. The secret ingredient in this flu vaccine is the berries them self. There is a lot of interesting stories about elderberries and some of the powers they posses in treating sicknesses related to cold and flu symptoms. Now the science is coming into play and proving that the elderberry does contain some value and along with a few other things, may just turn out to be one of our best defenses against the flu or even H1N1. It’s exciting to see a product like this come to the market and is much more affordable than some of the other flu fighting drugs you’re hearing about in the news today. If you would like to try Respiratory Guard or just have it in stock, in case someone in the household gets sick this winter season, you can order this product online. There is a video and much more information available at RespiratoryGuard.com. If you do order and try this product, please be sure to come back here and let me know how it worked for you or a member in your family. Here’s to your good health!

    *This review is a result of a feedback campaign by Respiratory Guard. The recipients were asked to give their honest opinion about the product they received. Good reviews were not incentivize and poor reviews will not be censored for their opinion of the product.

  • Where MD Meets TV

    Doctors1-300x192

    The cast of doctors on ABC are still giving out free medical advice and tips for all those that seek it. The Doctors TV Show is one of the better shows on television these days. The 4 main doctors that appear on each episode really give some good information daily. I like watching this program and I have my DVR set to record it everyday. I love to sit back on the weekends and watch all the shows that came on through the week. If you record the Doctors on DVR; then you can fast forward it through the commercials. I can watch a whole week’s worth of shows in about 3 hours or less.

    I’m still looking for a show that deals with kidney stones. I’m sure Dr. Travis Stork sees his share of kidney stone cases working in the ER in real life. I think a lot of people would like to see a show about kidney stones. What programs would you like to see the Doctors cover? Any certain medical sickness or modern surgeries that would make you sit down and watch the Doctors on ABC? If so, please reply back and let’s see if we can figure out which types of show the fans want to see most. The other 3 doctors that appear with Dr. Stork are Dr. Masterson, Dr. Sears, and Dr. Ordon. These are the 4 doctors that give us free medical advice each day and there are other doctors that make guest appearances from time to time, to give us even more medical tips and solid health advice. Stay tuned for more free medical advice from The Doctors TV Show.

  • Health and Beauty Products Online

    A simple trip over to ShopWiki’s website online can be a great source of Health and Beauty products  information; that can help us to understand these items better. It’s just one more reason why shopping online can be easy, informative, and cheap too! If you are like me, you get tired of the long lines in stores at the cashier’s register or you have trouble finding a close parking space near the store. Online shopping doesn’t present these problems and it allows you to save time in our hectic lifestyles these days. No need to worry about store hours either when you shop online. The online websites that allow users to shop are always open and you can buy products 24 hours a day.

    I always wondered how the big Hollywood stars got their shopping done. It must have been difficult in the years before the Internet. I guess back then, they would have to send their employees or friends out to buy things like their shampoo or hair conditioner products. These people would probably buy a variety of different products, so they could make sure they got something the big star or celebrity would have liked. Now these people can do their own shopping at home and don’t have to worry about their fans or a mob of people crowding them in a public store. I’m sure the really famous people in our society these days; do most of their shopping online.

    I would imagine the men are less picky than the women are when it comes to the various health and beauty items being sold online. Most men could use any grooming products that were in their medicine cabinets or bathroom shelves. It’s not that easy with the females in the household; that might be sharing that medicine cabinet with the males living in the house. A simple curling iron would have to be the right length, shape, and plugged in for so many minutes, for a woman to feel confident in her grooming process. The typical man doesn’t need the curling iron. A few drops of water on a comb and quick use of the hair dryer and he’s ready to go. Maybe this is why women look so much better than us guys? They may make us a little mad, when they take so long to get ready, but the finish product is nice to see.

    How much time do you spend in the supermarket, looking for some of these beauty products for men and women? Whatever your answer is, you can erase this time in stores, if you look for some of these products online. Some of these items can be a little pricey at the drug store, so using your computers to shop for men’s hair products or beauty items for the ladies can be a money saver. Not to mention a time saver and we all need more time in our daily lives. Online shopping isn’t just for the big names in Hollywood and the average people like you and I can use the World Wide Web just like them. Those 50 and 60 year old men we see on TV with their natural looking hair. They are not on television because they dodge the effects of aging. They simply bought a few hair coloring products online and we can do the same thing too!

  • Did You Burn Your Fat Today?

    I hope your day was more active than mine was. I just pretty much rolled out of bed, stayed on the computer most of the day; then took a nap in the evening and now here I am at 2 AM in the morning. If anyone asks me if I burned my fat today; then the answer would be a big fat NO! A lazy day like this every now and then is okay. We all need a day to ourselves to be lazy and do absolutely nothing. Watching a lot of TV and taking a few naps usually is the highlights of my lazy days and I wish I had more of them. People that need to burn fat each day, so they can maintain a healthy weight, may want to avoid these “lazy days” as much as possible.

    Now the bad thing is, I am up and awake now and it’s just a little after 2 AM in the morning. This means I will stay up all night (more than likely) and will get a lot of work done (I hope), but will be sleepy again around noon time. If I go to sleep at noon and sleep for 5 or 6 hours; then I will be wide awake when it gets dark tonight and will probably have a hard time going to sleep tomorrow night. I know I’m not the only one that gets in these sleep cycle nightmares and they are tough to come out of. You either have to force yourself to sleep when you’re not sleepy or force yourself to stay awake longer when you’re sleepy. I guess I will just figure it out later when I have less energy and start to get tired. As you can see I didn’t burn my fat today; how was your day?

  • The Doctors TV Show on ABC

    doctors2

    Dr. Travis Stork leads his team of TV Doctors on an educational show that comes on ABC every morning through the week. You can catch these doctors on television Monday through Friday as they try to give you the prescriptions to a clean and healthy life style. The show is called The Doctors and their slogan is “where MD meets TV” and these cast of Hollywood Doctors are gaining a fan base.

    Have you seen the Doctors on TV? What are your thoughts and opinions about the show? Do you think programming like this is what America needs more of or is it dangerous having TV doctors giving us advice on our health?

    Before I break the show down, I would first like to encourage any of the cast members on the Doctors to reply to my blog post. If it’s just to say hi or leave a comment about this blog post, I would love to have one of the 4 main doctors to reply. I am a fan of the show and it would be an honor to get a reply from Dr. Stork, Masterson, Sears, or even Dr. Odon would be ok…lol :)

    What Makes the Doctors TV Show Popular?

    How about free medical advice? Health care is one of the leading stories in the news these days and it’s become a focal point in American politics lately. President Obama will have his hands full with the health care concerns that are facing this country right now. It does cost money to be healthy in America these days. We have seen the media giant CNN do popular news stories on “Black in America” and “Hispanic in America“. Perhaps they could air a series called “Healthy in America” and lay out the obstacles that face each citizen in our country today. It isn’t cheap to get good health care and the average middle class family can’t afford proper medical treatment for each member of the household. It is refreshing to see a TV show like the Doctors come on each morning and provide us with a lot of answers to our medical questions.

    Who Are the Doctors?

    The doctor that starts each show and ends each show with his “doctor’s orders” is Travis Stork. He is the main doc on the panel and the one most audience and fan members associate with the show. Dr. Travis Stork is an ER (Emergency Room) doctor and this is his field of expertise. He is in his late 20’s and is the youngest doctor on the 4 doctor panel. The doctor that sits to Dr. Stork’s right hand side is Lisa Masterson. She is the only woman in the group and her expertise deals with the female and pregnant patients. If you continue around the table and go to the doctor that sits on Dr. Masterson’s right hand side, you would have Jim Sears. Doctor Sears deals with the younger patients in real life and his medical training is in the field of pediatrics. The last doctor on the panel or the one that sits next to Dr. Sears right hand side would be Drew Ordon. He is the doctor that deals with breast implants, rhinoplasty, and those touch-ups that help us to look younger. Dr. Ordon is a plastic surgeon and is able to give us his opinions from a surgeon’s point of view. These are the 4 main doctors we see on almost every episode and there are other doctors that make guest appearances from time to time on the Doctors TV show.

    As you can see these 4 doctors cover a wide area of medical training for men and women and for the adults and children. They have a nice blend of experience and areas they specialize in; to give us solid advice on most medical subjects and questions. For those of you that watch the show regularly; is there one doctor that you like to watch or hear most? Please feel free to vote on which doctor you think makes the show the most interesting for you.

    A. Doctor Randy Ordon

    B. Doctor Jim Sears

    C. Doctor Lisa Masterson

    D. Doctor Travis Stork

    Since I am a man in my mid 30’s with few medical issues and I don’t have a wife or kids; then the advice I get from Dr. Stork tends to help me the most. I have been to the emergency room a few times with kidney stones and I can relate to some of the things Travis deals with; when you compare his medical expertise with the other 3 doctors. There really isn’t a lot of interest for a young male to hear about plastic surgery, giving birth to babies, or kid’s illnesses; which the other 3 doctors would be experts in. My vote would go for Dr. Travis Stork as the person that holds the most answers to my questions. I do find the other 3 doctors very educational and I think Dr. Jim Sears is the 2nd most important doctor on the panel in my opinion. Which 1 or 2 doctors provide you with the most answers? Please be sure to reply and leave your vote, so we can try to figure out which doc or docs are pulling the show the most.

    Replace One of the Doctors or Hire a New Doc? YOU DECIDE!

    Let’s just say you purchased the rights to the show and now you’re the owner of the Doctors television show on ABC. You have the power to hire or fire anyone on the show that you wanted to. Is there one doctor that you would love to see get replaced? Perhaps it’s because they could never offer you any medical advice for your current situation or you don’t think they ever have anything good to offer to the show. Is there a doctor that has a different field of expertise and you think they would make a good addition to the show? Maybe you would prefer to only have 3 doctors or think the show would do better with 5 doctors? Which statement below best describes your feelings toward the show and how you think the Doctors could improve on their success already?

    A. Leave it alone. It is perfect like it is. If it ain’t broke; don’t fix it.

    B. Replace Dr. ________ and go find another doctor in the same medical field as him/her.

    C. Replace Dr. ________ and get a doctor that has medical training in the field of __________.

    D. Keep the 4 current doctors and add a 5th doctor that specializes in ___________.

    E. Remove all of them except for Dr. ___________ because they are the main reason I watch.

    F. Let them all go and hire a whole new cast of 3 doctors? 4 doctors? 5 doctors?

    Does any of the above statements work for you? Can you see a statement that would make the show better? Please select a letter and fill in the blank or blanks with your reply; if you do see one that fits your agenda for the show. Or just feel free to lay out your own statement and give details to how you would change the show and why. I’m sure the 4 doctors on the Doctors TV show would like to read them and the people that are associated with the show and help to put it on TV each week day morning would like to hear your responses too.

    My Grand Idea for Making the Doctors TV Show Better

    My idea might not be too popular because I would look to replace a couple of the current doctors. I know this would be a big gamble, but my goal is to make the show better. I would still want to bring back the two doctors I replaced and get their imput on things from time to time.  So I’m not totally cutting them from the show, just relieving them of their everyday duties.

    Before I tell you the two I would remove from the current panel, see if you can guess it, by the way I describe the perfect Doctors TV show. I think having doctors that provide the most help, for the the majority of the population, is what would get more people watching. Increasing the panel to 5 or 6 doctors would be too many and not enough time in 1 hour to get each opinion from a doctor on certain topics. I do think 4 is the perfect number. Now which doctors on the current panel could we do without or replace with doctors that cover a wider range of medical interests?

    I think Dr. Ordon and Dr. Masterson would be the two doctors I would remove. I know the Doctors in filmed in California and plastic surgery is popular in that state, but not as popular in the other 49 states. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Dr. Ordon as a person and hearing his opinions on things. I just think replacing him for a doctor that could talk to more Americans would be better for my ratings; if I was the new owner of the show. The same goes for Lisa and I think her area of expertise only covers a small portion of medical concerns. She is the only woman on the Doctors television show, so I would need a female replacement or would want one to help balance the women’s point of views.

    I think a chiropractor and dentist would be the two new doctors I would add to my Doctors TV show. We all have muscle strains or aches in the body at some point in our lives. A chiropractor would be a great addition to the show, to answer our aches questions and perhaps give advice on exercise tricks we could do at home to fix our own ailments. We all have teeth or I should say; at one time we all had teeth. A dentist would help cover more people in need, than the professional medical advice Dr. Masterson or Dr. Ordon could offer. I’m sure some of these topics were covered before the show ever made it to television and I wonder why they chose the panel they did? Is it because Dr. Ordon and Dr. Masterson has great “TV looks” or they actually wanted their medical knowledge on their chosen professions?

    Do you guys understand what I am trying to say? I am a big fan of the current show and don’t want to see any of them go. Another TV network like CBS, FOX, or NBC could develop their own doctors show and cover some of these areas that the ABC Doctors show is leaving out. I know they have a dentist and other doctors that appear from time to time as needed. It just seems some big gaps got left out while some got filled that wasn’t really needed. I know more women watch day time television than men, so Lisa is good for the stay-at-home mommies watching. The other networks don’t mind copying each other either, so I won’t be surprised if a new doctors TV show does appear in the near future. A new doctors TV show starting from scratch could have an elderly doctor that is a family doctor as their main guy. There isn’t even a regular doctor on the Doctors and only Travis would qaulify andhe’s the youngest of the docs. While I do think there is lots of room for improvement, I understand the problems ABC would face; since Travis, Jim, Drew, and Lisa are becoming household names.

    Travis and Lisa Love Affair?

    Now surely I am not the only one that thinks these two flirt witheach other. People in love with each other have a hard time hiding it and I believe there might be something cooking between Lisa Masterson andTravis Stork. I do know on the episode they were talking about women being better with driving directions than men; it was Travis that pointed out him and Lisa were lost andhe told her that the ocean was in the direction of west. So Travis did let a little something slip or did he? Apparently Travis has did other things with the other doctors on the panel too. I just thought I would throw this in at the end andsee if anyone else thought something was up with these two?

    If you have never seen the Doctors on ABC; then you really need to set the DVR to record it each day and after a few episdoes, I think you will get hooked too. This is a great and educational show that can keep us more healthy and could even save our lives too! I think the Doctors is the most important show we have on our television sets today. This is must watch TV and I hope all families make it a part of their families daily TV habits. This show does provide great medical advice, tips, and answers to our questions.
