Oprah first gave us "Dr. Phil" and now she spins off again with "Dr. Oz" (12:30 p.m. weekdays beginning Sept. 14, WPXI), a health-focused talk show hosted by Dr. Mehmet Oz, previously seen on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

"Our goal is to be the show of record as it relates to health and wellness," said "Dr. Oz" executive producer Mindy Borman at a press conference for the program earlier this month in Pasadena, Calif.

But the goal is to make it enjoyable and not too heavy. Oz isn't afraid to be blunt in talk about anatomy or medical issues. He says it's necessary if the show is to have an impact on its viewers.

"You actually have to give people the real anatomy," Oz said. "Tell them what's really happening. Don't break it down and baby it. What does it actually feel like to have that problem?"

Each day's show will have a multi-topic format, beginning with a medical story of the day that Oz puts in context. The show becomes more playful deeper into the hour, including using volunteers from the studio audience as lab rats.

"Any advice or information that's disseminated by Dr. Oz we try on them," Borman said. In addition, elements from his appearances on "Oprah" will be featured, including animation that helps Oz take a complex topic and make it more understandable.

"Dr. Oz," which tapes in New York, will not prevent Oz from returning to "Oprah," which tapes in Chicago.

"I still feel part of the 'Oprah' family," Oz said. "I communicated last week with Ms. Winfrey about a bunch of stuff. ... And if it makes sense for the 'Oprah' audience to have Dr. Oz on their show, I'd be honored, as I always have been, to play a role in it."

"Dr. Oz" will have a second run on PCNC at 1:30 p.m. weekdays.
