- Dr. DEAN
Doctor Dean (weekdays, NBC)—John Tesh's daytime interview show died (was I the only person out here who thought it was OK?) and NBC replaced it with a daily medical show starring radio doc Dean Edell. At first glance, it's slick, waiting-room TV. At second glance, it's just another excuse for people to come on daytime television and reveal intimate secrets of their private lives: "I have at least one orgasm every day," says a 70-year-old woman, "and more if I can.... And I can." (The audience applauds.) But at third glance, the show does dispense real information, it's useful. In the pantheon of daytime TV, I guess that beats Sally Jessy Raphael's mothers who complain about their daughters who spit. My score: 7
