Unprecedented reality serie s“HouseCallí ¡’counsels tro ubled families
fO N T B IB L T E D STORY

Debuting the newest TV series in
the recent reality genre boom ,
“HouseCalls” invites viewers into
the homes o f real people as veteran
psychiatrist and relationship expert
Dr. Irvin W olkoff counsels families
and couples in crisis. Premiering
September 11, “ HouseCalls” is a
half-hour television strip airing in
syndication.
“Nothing. .. absolutely nothing is
more entertaining to human beings
than human beings,” says Wolkoff.
“I think the unique thing about
“HouseCalls” is that it’s authentic.
I’m a real psychiatrist; the people I
interview are real people with real
problems. And we interview them
in th eir actual hom e. T hat is
something the viewer hasn't seen
on television before and isn’t going
to see except on ‘HouseCalls.’”
The program sends W olkoff on the
road and into the living rooms of
people dealing with a variety of
issues ranging from intrusive
mothers-in-law to unruly teenagers.
The intimate, unrehearsed meetings
offer a mix o f drama, humor and
compelling insight into people’s
lives.
With two decades o f psychiatric
training and therapeutic experience,
W olkoff offers informed deductions
and profound advice, at tim es
presenting remarkably candid - and
potentially unpopular - viewpoints
“When I’m interviewing people on
‘HouseCalls,’ I lean on them pretty
eavily,” says Wolkoff. “I might
rticulate their darkest fear or call
om ebody what they are. But
mderstanding human nature gives
me a framework in which to ask the
tough questions and make the tough
statements.”
W o lk o ff co n d u c ts his ow n
psychiatric practice in Toronto,
Canada. He pens a popular biweekly
column called “ Your M ind” for the
Toronto Star and serves as a monthly
columnist for The Medical Post.
“ ’HouseCalls’ is a truly breakout
program,” says Laurey Barnett,
executive vice president o f the
Chris-Craft Television Division.the
producer and launch group o f the
show . “ W e ’re p re se n tin g an
engaging and insightful format that
explores everyday problems and
issues to which ordinary people can
relate.”
"Buena Vista is thrilled to be the
distribution arm for this unique
reality show," says Janice Marinelli,
president, Buena Vista Television.
