MyNetworkTV gets help from Dr. Phil...

MyNetworkTV is turning to Dr. Phil this fall, as well as some familiar reality shows…

MyNet is continuing its shift from a telenovela format to a schedule of reality series, movies, ultimate fighting and specials.

“Divorce Wars” is based on a “Dr. Phil” segment in which unhappy couples are locked in a house for five days to resolve their differences. Dr. Phil will watch the couple and occasionally interject via intercom, but he will not be the host. “Divorce” will be produced by Oprah’s company, Harpo Productions.

MyNet is also bringing back the former NBC reality series “Meet My Folks” and FOX’s “Paradise Hotel.” “Hotel” will be a tamer version than the tawdry original.

Premiering in June is “The Academy,” which tracks a group of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department recruits.

This year, the network also plans six more celebrity driven specials produced by “Access Hollywood”…
