Dr. Phil McGraw will start his fifth season on Monday, September 18. The show will be broadcast in 212 markets across the nation.
"I'm even more excited about this season than I was about our first," says McGraw. "We spent the summer re-inventing ourselves. My theme this season is 'I'm coming for you.' I'm unleashing the show from the studio and taking it to the streets to find those who have no voice, no power and no hope.
"This is a twist on an old saw. First, I'm making the house, and then the call, we're taking advantage of technological progress so that we can put it to use and have these people make their own kind of progress. This season, the 'Dr. Phil House' will become one of America's foremost addresses. You've gotta' move in to move on."
The volunteer subjects will be in a reality show setting where they will be watched 24/7 to observe their numerous behaviors and will have McGraw either physically show up to counsel them or will suddenly come on via the monitor and communicate with them about their 
actions or problems.
Some of the past themes will be included in this year's series like Dr. Phil Families and the Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge, among others.
