The Doctor literally holds the fate of the Daleks in his hands, in what has been voted the greatest story in Who history
Genesis of the Daleks: episode six (12 April 1975)
Spoiler Alert: We are discussing some of the Doctor Who adventures broadcast over the past 50 years. In this blog, we're looking at part six of Genesis of the Daleks. It contains spoilers both about the specific episode and the story as a whole.
The Doctor is about to commit genocide. Can he really bring himself to do it? In one climactic moment, a historic pivot point in 50 years of Doctor Who plays out not with explosions or creaking special effects, but the holding together of two wires and a poetic monologue.
Sensing that the Dalek menace is careering out of control, the Timelords have sent the Doctor back through the history of Skaro to avert the creation of the metal meanies in the first place. »

In his new book, "Life Code," Dr. Phil McGraw reveals his actionable rules for succeeding in the real world. It's not about sitting around and waiting for your patience to be rewarded, Dr. Phil says. Rather, to be successful in today's climate, you have to go after what you want, actively protect yourself against the toxic people who want to bring you down and, as he puts it, become the star in your own life.
Becoming the star in your own life is about putting yourself first and going after what you want and need in life, Dr. Phil says in this clip from "Oprah's Lifeclass." But is being the "star" really an appropriate aspiration or is it just another excuse to be selfish?
As Oprah states, "People think 'star' means you have to be vain or wealthy or [famous]." That's not what it means to be the star in your own life, »

The simian star of new Disney film Chimpanzee is the latest animal to be portrayed as having human emotions. But does such anthropomorphism give a distorted view of nature?
You could say cinema and nature got off on the wrong foot, or paw, right from the start. In 1926, to much excitement, an adventurer named William Douglas Burden brought back two komodo dragons to New York's Bronx zoo – the first live specimens the western world had ever seen. Most of that excitement had been generated via a movie Burden had made depicting these semi-mythical reptiles in the Indonesian wild, voraciously devouring a wild boar. By comparison, the real, live komodo dragons were something of a disappointment. They just lay about lethargically in their cage, and died a few months later. It later transpired that Burden's film had been heavily edited and staged to amp up the drama. The dragons hadn't actually »

This is what it's come to for NBC's "Smash": The once-promising series is now doing worse than ... "Iyanla, Fix My Life." According to final Nielsen ratings data released this morning, Saturday's "Smash" averaged a mere 0.4 rating in the crucial demo of adults under 50, while on the same night, over at Oprah Winfrey's Own, the season premiere of "Iyanla" (with featured guest Dmx!) averaged a 0.6 rating. »

According to final Nielsen ratings data released this morning, Saturday's Smash averaged a mere 0.4 rating in the crucial demo of adults under 50, while on the same night, over at Oprah Winfrey's Own, the season premiere of Iyanla (with featured guest Dmx!) averaged a 0.6 rating. In fairness, it's worth noting that the two shows didn't go head-to-head: Smash aired at eight, Iyanla at nine. And, yes, Smash will potentially triple its ratings once DVR viewership is tallied in a few weeks. But still: A lavish and expensive (if almost certainly soon-to-be-dead) network series drew lower numbers than a self-help show on the (formerly) struggling Own. And, sadly, Iyanla wasn't the only Saturday show that smushed Smash: The drama also scored lower demo ratings than ABC's under-the-radar »

I recall joking about a year ago, that the Oprah Winfrey Network (Own) was fast-becoming a black cable TV network, even though that isn't what Oprah and Discovery originally had planned for the site. But, as it turns out, the most popular shows on the network have centered around black people, and have attracted black audiences en masse. So, as one Discovery chief said at the time, when shows like Welcome To Sweetie Pies became a surprise hit for the network (paraphrasing), it would be unwise if they ignored the audience that made those shows hits - black audiences - and that they planned to introduce more programming that they think that audience would appreciate. Since then, the network has continued to do just that. It's announced its new Saturday night programming lineup, which will begin in April, and it includes the return of the original series Iyanla: Fix My »

A Simple Life Roger (Andy Lau) is a movie producer who returns home to find that the woman (Deanie Ip) who worked as his family’s maid since he was a child has suffered a stroke. He decides to set aside his affairs and focus on helping her, but as he struggles to manage the role of caregiver she finds it difficult to be the one being cared for.

Beyonce’s documentary Life Is But A Dream aired on HBO on Feb. 16, following a one-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter.

Oprah Winfrey sat down with multiplatinum artist, 17-time Grammy winner and global superstar Beyoncé for an interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter. Her revelations, on the Feb. 16 special episode, were both riveting and charming — there’s a reason she’s referred to as Queen B.
