Dr. Phil is a talk show hosted by Phil McGraw. After McGraw’s success with his segments on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Phil debuted on September 16, 2002. On both shows McGraw offers advice in the form of “life strategies” from his life experience as a clinical psychologist.

The show is in syndication throughout the United States and a number of other countries. Its tenth season premiered on September 12, 2011. The show is to be renewed through 2014, or twelve seasons. Occasional prime time specials have aired on CBS. The program has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award every year since 2004.

Since September 2009, Dr. Phil has been broadcast in HDTV with a revamped look and a new theme written and performed by McGraw’s son, Jordan.

Originally produced by Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions in association with Paramount Domestic Television and distributed by King World Productions, since 2007 it is produced and distributed solely by PTV’s and KWP’s successor, CBS Television Distribution with Peteski Productions.

Reruns of the series began broadcast on the Oprah Winfrey Network as of January 2011.
