Brenda and Josh say for the past year, they have been fighting to reunite their family, after they say Josh was unfairly convicted of second-degree child abuse. In March 2014, they say the couple’s 11-week-old daughter, Naomi, fell off Josh’s lap in what he says was an accident. A short time later, Naomi became very ill and was in and out of the hospital, where tests revealed bleeding in her brain and eyes. Brenda and Josh say they were shocked when a doctor accused them of abuse, setting in motion an ordeal that saw Naomi taken from them and Josh sentenced to 12 months in prison. Brenda, who was cleared of any wrongdoing, got Naomi back and says she went into hiding out of fear her daughter would be taken again. Now, she’s ready to tell her story to Dr. Phil — along with Josh, who appears via satellite from prison. What happened to Naomi? How do Brenda and Josh explain the baby’s injuries?

Jaime admits to past substance abuse issues but says he has been totally clean for two weeks and has things under control. Emotions run high when this family comes face to face on Dr. Phil’s stage.

Thursday - April 23, 2015 A Deadly Love Affair: The Widow, The Lover and The Spouse Behind Bars It was a story that made headlines, filled with the kind of details you might find in a romantic thriller: In 2011, Ashlee's husband, Emmett, was having an affair with a co-worker named Kandi when he was shot and killed by Kandi's husband. The story rocked their small Idaho town and left two families forever changed. Kandi’s husband, Rob, who claimed he acted in self-defense, was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison. For the first time since the trial four years ago, Ashlee and Kandi come face to face on Dr. Phil’s stage. What happened that fateful night? Kandi was the closest witness — what does she remember?

Tune in as the real person who lured these young women into fake relationships comes forward. Who would orchestrate such a tangled web of deception — and why? Can these co-eds find forgiveness and gain closure?

I didn't watch so I'm going to ask. What did Robbin Robin do for those people on Friday? How bad was the self promotion?

Never mind. Looking on YouTube I see who I saw in the commercial and saw the episode she was on. Patricia Arquette's bright blonde hair made her look like Diane Sawyer though when they showed her for only a couple seconds in the commercial I mentioned before and I thought Diane might be going on there to promote her upcoming interview with Bruce Jenner.

All New Week Monday - April 13, 2015 Accusations of Abuse and Violence: "Can Our Marriage Be Saved?" Anthony, 26, and Melinda, 25, say their year-and-a-half marriage is on the brink, and they need help for the sake of their children. Melinda claims Anthony is controlling and abusive, uses drugs and spoils his 4-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. She says she worries about his 15-month-old child with her. After one recent explosive fight, in which Melinda says that Anthony refused to hand over their child, she moved six hours away and filed for divorce. Anthony admits he has been physically abusive with Melinda but claims she has attacked him as well, and he says he has the video to prove that her anger is out of control.

Thelma says that after Kenny finally divorced Kim three years ago, he suffered serious emotional difficulties, and Thelma stepped in and gained custody of her grandchildren, because she claims Kim wouldn’t step up. Thelma says Kenny still talks to Kim every day and gives her money — and Thelma has had it with what she calls watching Kim take advantage. Is Kim manipulating Kenny for money? Kenny admits he enables his ex-wife but says he just wants her to clean up her life and repair her relationship with their children. Kim admits she has battled addiction and was not the best wife but says she would “walk through fire for her children.” She says Thelma is “evil” and needs to stop bashing her to her kids. Dr. Phil intervenes in this family feud — can they stop the mudslinging and learn to peacefully co-parent? Then, Kim and Kenny’s two grown children speak out. Do they say they want a relationship with their mother? Wednesday - April 15, 2015 Out of Control, Out of Patience and Out of Time Jennifer says she’s at her wits’ end with her 13-year-old son’s behavioral problems. She says he’s angry and violent, starts fires, threatens to kill people and claims he sees vampires who tell him what to do. Jennifer says her son is so out of control that she, her boyfriend and their two children sleep in a locked bedroom for safety. After five hospitalizations, countless therapists and a myriad of prescribed medications, Jennifer says she’s out of options. Dr. Phil takes a look at the family’s home videos -- and calls some parenting techniques into question. What's at the root of the boy's bad behavior? And, Jennifer’s son opens up about what life is like in his family. What, if anything, might Jennifer be doing wrong? And, how can they calm the chaos and get this teen on the right path? Thursday - April 16, 2015 A Family Fighting over a Double-Murder/Psychic Medium John Edward Returns! In December 2008, Linda and Steven Riley were found brutally stabbed to death in their home. Their only son, Matt, found the bodies — and was arrested. He eventually was convicted of their murders and is now serving two consecutive life sentences. Matt’s aunt, Angela, says she knows her nephew is innocent — and places the blame for his conviction on his wife, Jenny, who she says changed her story multiple times and testified against her husband during his trial. Why does she believe Jenny lied under oath? Then, Angela and Jenny face each other for the first time since the 2011 trial. Find out why Jenny says she has no doubt that her husband killed his parents. And, Jenny asks Dr. Phil for the opportunity to take a polygraph test. What will the results reveal? Then, world-renowned psychic medium John Edward is back! Watch as a skeptical Dr. Phil sits down for a personal reading — what will John see? Plus, see what happens when John does a reading for Dr. Phil’s audience — and what he has to say share with Dr. Phil’s first guest, Angela. Will his message bring her any comfort or closure? Friday - April 17, 2015 An Ex Accused of Stalking, Obsession and Abuse: Who's Telling the Truth? Jennifer says she and her husband, Freddie, divorced four months ago, but she claims he is obsessed with her and refuses to let her go. She says he drives past her house repeatedly, watches her through her windows, calls her 100 times a week — accusing her of sleeping with other men — and has even snuck into her house to go through her belongings. Freddie denies all of Jennifer’s allegations and says the only reason she divorced him is because she is abusing prescription pain medication and is not thinking clearly. Jennifer says her decision to divorce Freddie was made with clarity — and she admits she abuses pain pills but claims she does so because of Freddie’s behavior. The couple admit their children are caught in the middle of the turmoil. Dr. Phil reads a recent note from their 6-year-old — will it be a wake-up call for both of them? Then, five siblings open up about the tragic day they lost their mother, police officer Brenda Sexton, who was brutally beaten to death by her boyfriend in August of 2000. (Robin McGraw, along with her foundation, When Georgia Smiled, has a surprise in honor of Brenda. And, three sisters who lost their mother to a horrific act of domestic violence share their mission to empower and educate women.)

It seems like she treats people she deems her equals in any way not just fellow actors in a respectful manner. As for everyone else it's feels like she treats them like she does the viewers by saying she doesn't care what they think so they might as well not bother themselves by letting her know.

April 6 - April 10, 2015 All New Week Monday Decades of Hatred, Accusations and Altercations: A Fight for Custody That’s Tearing a Mother and Daughter Marsha says she fought for -- and won -- custody of her grandsons because of what she calls her daughter, Brooke’s, dangerous, drug-using lifestyle. Now she says her relationship with her daughter is filled with mistrust, false accusations of abuse and bitter resentment.

Chris admits he gets a rush from stealing and says it’s bound to happen if he’s left alone. Does he have any desire to change? Chris’ 21-year-old sister, Meredith, says she resents having to “babysit” her brother and put her life on hold just to keep him on track.

What does she say she found on his phone that she calls deeply disturbing? And, why would she still consider giving him another chance?

Concerned for the children caught in the middle of the dysfunction, Dr. Phil combs through the accusations from each side. Does this couple have a future together as spouses -- or as co-parents only? Thursday "My Mother Gambled $2.5 Million Away and Blames Me for Being Broke" Carie says her mother, Diane, was once a successful jewelry store owner who lived the high life in Las Vegas, but she gambled away $2.5 million and now lives in an RV -- and she blames Carie for her troubles. Carie says she has tried to help her mother get back on her feet and even gave her a car -- which she says Diane thumbed her nose at -- and she’s fed up with her mother’s mooching and manipulating.

Did Carie turn her back on her mom, or is Diane lacking accountability? Don’t miss Dr. Phil’s advice for mother and daughter. Can they make amends and move forward in peace? Friday A Beautiful Teen Forced to Live a Horrible Nightmare: "I Was Held Captive by an Online 'Friend'" Hope, 17, says three years ago, after an argument with her family, she posted a mean message about her mother online -- and her life took a dramatic turn, when a woman responded and said Hope could stay with her.

Don’t miss Dr. Phil’s candid advice for Desiree -- will it have an impact? Is there any chance for mending this relationship? And, how can Hope finally begin to heal?

I was ready to turn the channel tonight until Beck came on. He wasn't listed on the guests page and I hadn't looked at any other stuff associated with the show on CBS's site so him being on was a surprise. It seemed like Beck wasn't to thrilled with this "broadcasting from someone's home" idea either though and got out of there as soon as he could. Who could blame him really?!?

I thought it was just me liking Reggie Miller so much. I appreciate the fact that James really is trying though. I like him as of now a lot more then Seth Meyers.

March 30 - April 3, 2015 Monday 1,000 Lies and Counting: A Husband Who Can’t Tell the Truth Melisa claims her estranged husband, Chris, is a pathological liar who lies about anything and everything -- from small things, like what he had for lunch, to more elaborate lies, like posing as an airline pilot making $500,000 a year so he could view a luxury home. She says during their five years together, Chris has also struggled to hold a job, and she claims he has resorted to stealing money from her. Melisa and Chris are currently separated, but with a young child and another baby on the way, Melisa says she’s desperate to make things work.

(Original Airdate: October 28, 2014)

Ugh. That makes me sad. Sometimes silence really is better.

What once was... Compared to what we have now.... *SIGHS*

The day I pay attention to one of Dr. Phub's diet books is the day he quits using the "I play tennis and I'm fit" excuse and admits he needs to loose weight as much as the people he's trying to sell and give his book away to. Men can hide their fatness better in suits sometimes but at this point suits aren't even cutting it for Phub. With this newest book he should have joined his viewers and etc. and gone on the diet he wrote about and documented his progress throughout the season.

I just wanted to clarify that I knew that Corden and Co. are trying to borrow from Graham Norton's format in the UK. I like the throwback neon lettering too.

I missed the first 10 to 15 min so is it wrong to assume that One Direction wasn't on at all? I read on an entertainment site that one of the members pulled out of the group for awhile over some cheating scandal so maybe they cancelled? If they get James a regular chair to sit in while interviewing and not the wheeled one I think he could make that interviewing method work. Didn't Tom Snyder do something like that when he was on NBC? I ask because it looked like he did from the clips I've seen of his Tomorrow Show over the years. I know for Tom's stints on CNBC and CBS he did the one on one interviews sitting across from his guests. They could do away with the desk altogether. Bob Costas did the no desk thing too but I wanted to include a clip of Tom.

March 23 - March 27, 2015 Monday Young, Beautiful and Missing/"Homeless Joe" Returns Dr. Phil explores potential new clues in the cold cases of two missing women. First, 14-year-old Ashley Summers vanished in 2007 -- just blocks away from Ariel Castro’s Cleveland "House of Horrors" -- and aside from a brief phone call to her mother in 2008, she hasn’t been heard from since. Ashley’s mother, Jennifer, and step-grandmother, Linda, join Dr. Phil in search of answers. Could a newly-released FBI photo prove that Ashley is alive and well? Two facial recognition experts analyze the photo -- what do they conclude? Then, in November 2011, Michelle Parker disappeared without a trace after dropping off her 3-year-old twins at the home of their father -- the same day the bitter exes appeared together in an episode of The People’s Court. Michelle’s father, Brad, says he believes Michelle’s ex had something to do with her disappearance -- which her ex absolutely denies, despite having been named early in the investigation as the primary suspect. What happened to Michelle? Plus, when Dr. Phil last checked up on "Homeless Joe", he was missing in action after abruptly leaving rehab in Texas. After being tracked down, Joe returns to Dr. Phil -- how is he doing now? Tuesday Lifetime Grudge: Can Mother and Daughter Finally Bury the Hatchet? Amber, 24, says her mother, Julie, failed her as a parent, and she wants an apology for what she claims were years of verbal, emotional and physical abuse. Amber claims that when she was between the ages of 7 and 14, her mother slapped her, punched her and threw items at her several times a week. Julie completely denies ever laying a hand on her daughter, except in self-defense, and says she doesn’t understand why Amber recently cut her out of her life. She says Amber has always been dramatic, and she claims their problems started when Amber falsely accused her father of the unthinkable. Dr. Phil brings Amber and her mother together in hopes of a resolution. Is there a chance at fostering a peace? Plus, don’t miss an update on guests Candi and Lyndsey, who started Dr. Phil’s 20/20 diet two months ago. How are they now?

She says her daughter has been kicked out of school, steals, drinks, uses drugs, has been caught sneaking boys into her bedroom and is facing battery and runaway charges. Josie admits she doesn’t like being told no but says, "Every teenager makes mistakes." Dr. Phil has some tough questions for Vicki. Is this a case of a bad teen, bad parenting or something else? And, Dr. Phil talks to Josie about how her choices now could affect her future. Will she be inspired to make some positive changes? (Original Airdate: January 19, 2015) Thursday "My Mother Refuses to Cut the Cord with My Mama’s Boy Brother" Andreya says her 32-year-old brother, Tony, is addicted to prescription pills and has a gambling problem, with losses that she believes could be more than $100,000 -- and their mother, Linda, is enabling him all the way. She says their mother lets Tony live with her for free, works two jobs to pay all his bills, refuses to kick him out and turns a blind eye to his drug use. Linda says all she wants to do is take care of her “little boy” and refuses to listen to anyone bad-mouth her baby. Tony admits he’s a smooth operator and can use charm and personality to get anything he wants. He says he was even facing 45 years in prison for drug trafficking, but the arresting officer pleaded for leniency, and Tony served only a little more than three years. Can Linda learn to stop supporting her son’s dangerous lifestyle before he ends up back in prison -- or dead? Don’t miss Dr. Phil’s plan for both mother and son! (Original Airdate: January 15, 2015) Friday Blacklisted by Mom: "Can We Speak to Our Dad Before He Dies?"

What’s at the root of this family feud? And, can everyone put an end to the fighting before it’s too late? (Original Airdate: November 12, 2014)

Here's that comment and a bit more.... http://jezebel.com/287242/terrence-howard-thinks-women-are-unclean-and-dressed-like-whores

Ugh. I forgot Jason Biggs was going to be on today. Guess I tune out after Hot Topics. Was trying to give this week a chance to see how Raven Simone did for 5 shows in a row.

That bra article seems like it was somewhat written to get people to buy more bras and buy them more often. Who has 7 or 8 bras that they rotate regularly?

If the footage was used in court against Durst during his trespassing hearing couldn't it have become public record? Isn't that how the news media gets things like crime scene photos and etc?

Could the police have released the footage of Bob returning to his brothers townhouse?
