Michael Jackson & Dr. Murray - The premiere episode on November 28 focuses on Dr. Conrad Murray's catastrophic story - a classic case where the aura of celebrity may have clouded a doctor's better judgment. What was the true nature of Dr. Murray's relationship with Michael Jackson and did it go beyond that of doctor and patient?

Did his magic amphetamine-laced elixirs actually influence the course of history? This episode explores the rise and fall of President Kennedy's Dr. Feelgood.

Anna Nicole Smith & Dr. Eroshevich - A cautionary tale of excess and indulgence, Anna Nicole Smith's death is a tragic example of how a celebrity's chaotic lifestyle can overshadow the professional reasoning of those caught in the whirlwind. In 2007 the former Playboy model overdosed on prescription drugs and Anna's manager and lawyer Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were accused of conspiring to prescribe the excess drugs.

Could he ever truly make objective decisions or did he become a yes-man to the star's growing drug addiction, supplying him with his daily fix?


Marion Jones & Victor Conte - In fall 2007 when Olympic superstar Marion Jones was stripped of her gold medal for having taken performance-enhancing drugs, the man behind the scandal was nutritionist and cocky entrepreneur Victor Conte, the BALCO (Bay Area Laboratory Company) founder who had been funneling steroids to famous athletes including Major League Baseball stars Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi from 1988 until 2002.


Brian Wilson & Dr. Landy - Behind Brian Wilson's Beach Boys fame and gold records was a man suffering from drug addiction, alcohol abuse and mental illness. His family enlisted the aid of radical psychologist Eugene Landy, a doctor with an impressive client list - and unfulfilled aspirations of working in the music business - but the relationship spiraled into psychological abuse, mind games and virtual imprisonment of the rock legend.


Howard Hughes & Dr. Thain - When the effects of debilitating OCD and excruciating chronic pain took hold of Howard Hughes, the American business tycoon and Hollywood honcho became a broken, bed-ridden man addicted to Codeine and Valium. As he sank deeper into a world of addiction and mental illness, could his doctors and closest allies be trusted - or were they actually conspiring against him to take control of his wealth and business assets?


Celebrity Wives & Dr. Jiffy Lube - For wives of a certain age Dr. Daniel Serrano was a miracle worker. With clients including Priscilla Presley, the handsome Argentinean physician promised that, unlike Botox or collagen, the results of his injections would be everlasting.
