Missing (2012)
Should have become a series
I'm late to the reviewers here, but if you can catch it streaming or reruns, do so. This was intelligently done, with the excitement of some of the better elements of Homeland. Driven mother determined to fix a wrong. Beautifully produced. Sadly, only 10 episodes when it easily should have been a series. Judd was compelling, convincing, and surrounded by a strong supporting cast. Well acted, well written, well produced.
The Dr. Oz Show (2009)
Very Low Level Show
The program is geared toward people with absolutely no attention span and offers little useful information. Mostly sensational in its format, the presentations are geared toward selling a nutrient, micro nutrient, or "procedure" being marketed by the guests. Medically and scientifically, the show has huge gaps.
The games he used to have at the end, "Jeopardy-like" were abandoned this season -- and good riddance. They made a mockery of both the contestants and the issues being addressed -- the games were supposed to be substantive, to teach the viewer something. They always fell short.
A final observation: there is rarely any follow up with the guests who've had to lose considerable weight, or whom he's challenged to make major changes in lifestyle. Why? Doesn't he/producers believe in what they're doing? Let's see these successes (or not) and work harder to help them, rather than just making 'examples' out of them on TV.
