Three syndicated shows have bit the dust since the start of the new year; The Megan Mullally Show, The Greg Behrendt Show and Geraldo at Large. The daytime market looks easy but it's a tough sell. Just ask Dr. Keith Ablow, host of cancelled syndicated show number four.
The Dr. Keith Ablow Show debuted on September 11, 2006, was produced by Lmno Productions and Telepictures Productions and syndicated by Warner Bros. Domestic Television. The show was hosted by Ablow who was a couples therapist for 20 years and has appeared as a guest on several shows as an expert regarding several high-profile trials. He's also written a half-dozen novels and seven non-fiction books, including the best-selling Inside the Mind of Scott Peterson.
The show's stated goal was to "help individuals, couples and families cope with the personal challenges they face in today's world, and develop strategies that can help them lead more fulfilling lives.

LMNO Prods., whose credits include the syndicated daytime talker The Dr. Keith Ablow Show, has partnered with Chef LaLa to create bilingual television shows, including a daytime talker.
The plan is to develop projects for both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences through the exclusive partnership with the celebrity chef, a Cordon Bleu-trained chef and nutritionist best known for focusing on healthy preparations in the Latino kitchen. Chef LaLa, who has made numerous television and radio appearances, also is the author of the cookbook Latin Lover Lite.
The talk show, tentatively titled U' LaLa, will focus on healthy living, offering viewers useful information with practical applications. It also will feature cooking elements, though that will not be the primary focus, LMNO president and CEO Eric Schotz said. The project, which is designed to attract a culturally diverse audience, would feature guests from a range of backgrounds, including but not limited to celebrities.
Schotz said LMNO's relationship with Chef LaLa extends back to her being featured in the LMNO-produced National Body Challenge on Discovery Health.
"Chef LaLa has what it takes to be a successful daytime host," he said. "She is funny, compelling and smart about her business and has that rare combination that crosses over between English- and Spanish-speaking audiences."...

Newcomer Rachael Ray cooked up the best debut for a syndicated talk show since Dr. Phil's launch four years ago, according to Nielsen Media Research data for the week ending Sept. 24. Rachael Ray averaged a 2.3 household rating, the best for a talker's debut week since Dr. Phil averaged a 4.4 in September 2002. Overall, the strip ranked as the No. 4 talker among all 13 shows in the genre, behind The Oprah Winfrey Show (which averaged a 6.5 for its 21st-season premiere, up 16% from the previous week), Dr. Phil (whose fifth-season premiere averaged a 4.9, up 7% from the previous week) and Live With Regis and Kelly (3.1). Among other newcomers in the talk genre, The Megan Mullally Show averaged a 0.9 in its debut week, tying with The Dr. Keith Ablow Show in that show's second week on the air. A comparison with Ablow's debut week isn't possible at this point as those ratings are being reprocessed by Nielsen. Week 2 ratings for the other rookie talker, The Greg Behrendt Show, also are being reprocessed.
