What do you think? Are you a fan of The Doctors? Will you watch the new season of this syndicated series next month? Will you miss the previous hosts?
Please bring the original doctors back!!
Why was the format changed? It was so much better with the 3 doctors giving their opinions. I used to watch the show everyday, and was disappointed to find out they changed it ! I am no longer watching the show. It is boring without the other doctors .
Sorry but I will NOT be watching it. I loved the Original Doctors show Much better!! The hosts were so awesome and amazing!! They will surely be missed. Bring them back…!!!
Good luck.
I don’t know if I will watch it as it disappeared and is not on any where I can find it without any word of it not returning to our NBC station here in Omaha Nebraska.
I don’t know if I will watch it I can’t find it in my area. I always watched it before and now it’s gone with no explanation
Hate the new format. Miss the old cat members. Will not be watching
Horrible format change. Will not be watching. Did this happen because the doctors no longer wanted to be involved or another dumb ‘executive decision’?
I will not be watching. I hear enough about covid without them having more of it in daytime. I have stopped watching the news as well. The doctors with Travis is a mistake!!!
Do not like the NEW DOCTORS!! WANT THE OLD ONE BACK!! THIS ONE IS JUST ONE COMMERCIAL AFTER ANOTHER!! GET TRAVIS AND DR O BACK
I was able to catch today’s show. I am a nurse and was NOT impressed with the show or it’s new format. I typically don’t watch medical shows because I need a break from medicine, but all the doctors on the old show made it interesting and they seemed genuinely concerned and knowledgable in asking appropriate questions.. I will especially miss Dr Batra. You lost a great team and I definitely will not be tuning in again . Sorry , seems like a poor choice.. never change what is working nicely.
I do not like the new show at all. It’s missing personality and the fun of learning while being entertained. Bring back the original docs please. I won’t be watching any more otherwise. The new show is totally boring.
Sorry to say I miss the Dr’s. personalities. Beautiful combination of serious and lighted ness. Much useful medical education.
Done watching
They should change the name to THE DOCTOR as in one person. This is now a very boring show, the host seems to be reading from a script. No one to bounce comments on nor an audience to get reactions from. The previous panel was very entertaining while giving the information on the given topic. I will miss them and I will not be watching the new format!!
Definitely will not watch. It’s awful and boring. Bring back the real doctor’s show.
Will not be watching….. the original cast & format was the best… entertaining & very informative.
This was not a good idea.
