History YMMV / TheDoctorOzShow

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** He frequently endorses psuedoscience and homeopathic medicine over ''actual'' medicine so much he [[HauledBeforeASenateSubcommittee was called in and had to testify about his show.]]
--->'''[[Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver John Oliver]]''': ''"Miracle flowers"''?? Are you a doctor or an '''[[AllnaturalSnakeOil old west traveling salesman?]]''' "Have I got something miraculous for you, ladies and gentlemen: a monkey's paw mixed with five petals of a rose in a thimble full of otter semen! Guaranteed to cure your lumbago, step right up, step right up 'ere!"
** Doctor Oz seems to have a frequent-passenger card on the Health Topic Bandwagon. If a current rumor or half-fact-checked news story is circulating newspapers or the internet, you can guarantee that it'll be on his show. Everything from "This herbal supplement will cure everything" that later turn out to be little more than flavor-enhancements to ACTUAL cures, if not outright placebos (acai berries most recently spring to mind) to "magic beans" (his phrase) to lightning-fast weight loss that doesn't require leaving the couch or missing ''The Dr. Oz Show''.

* AuthorTract: [[BoomerangBigot A cardiothoratic surgeon who thinks all surgeons are "arrogant" and "assholes" who manipulate data and can't see the forest for the trees.]]

-->'''[[http://dlisted.com/2015/04/24/the-dr-oz-show-isnt-a-medical-show-okay/#more-175219 Michael K.]]''': As I’ve said a million times before, my mom is a major Dr. Oz fan mom and although she doesn’t totally believe in everything he says, she will knife a bitch who talks major shit about him. That’s why I keep a suit of armor in her spare bedroom closet. Whenever I’m at her house and she’s watching Dr. Oz, I have to put on that suit of armor so I can safely talk shit about him in front of her. Since my mom is an Ozhead, she’d probably agree with him about his show [[{{Doublespeak}} not being a medical show]]. It’s not a medical show. It’s CHURCH! Some people, including noted skeptic Dr. James Rhandi of the Rhandi Foundation, accuse Dr. Oz himself of occasionally spreading the medical equivalent of this.

* TelevisionIsTryingToKillUs: Doctor Oz seems to have a frequent-passenger card on the Health Topic Bandwagon.

Everything from "This herbal supplement will cure everything" that later turn out to be little more than flavor-enhancements to ACTUAL cures, if not outright placebos (acai berries most recently spring to mind) to scare-tactics like "PLASTIC CONTAINERS GIVE YOU CANCER!" ... If you leave them out in the sunlight for a month, then microwave them repeatedly, then drink the stuff that's been in there the entire time.
** On at least one episode, he dedicated an entire segment to homeopathy -- which these days is generally considered a pseudoscience.
** This can get worse when you have ''nurses'' falling for some of the more questionable stuff that's shown on the show.
** This trope is the main reason he was [[HauledBeforeASenateSubcommittee called in to testify to congress]] about his show.
