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?
Change is good, or so they say. And often times it is for the better. This “All New The Doctors” is not better. I have watched for 3 days now, and I’m not sure how much longer I will give this ‘new’ version. It just doesn’t please me. I have other choices for my viewing at this time of day, and I may start looking at something else to keep my attention and entertain me. I suspect there are many others going to make a switch to other programming as well.
So very disappointed that the original doctors panel no longer on tv. New show boring . Previous show was stimulating funny and educational. Will not be watching this new doctor show any longer
Same here. I find the new show boring. I can’t take a full hour of it. Not watching anymore. I already miss the older show.
My husband and I are very disappointed with the change. We really miss the doctors around the table. We will not be watching the new show. He has absolutely no personality.
do not like the new show. Needs more interaction with hosts. Can not do that with only one host. My husband and I watched the show every morning. Not anymore. Nothing against the new host..just need more hosts.
Sorry, but this show now lacks personality and connectivity to me….will miss Travis but understand wanting to focus on his family, but should have kept Dr. Ordon and Dr. Judy and had Dr. Smith take Travis’s place as host
Miss the old crew not the same
I just watched a segment and was shocked by the new format. Dr Phil made a big mistake and ruined the show. I won’t be watching anymore.
I was stunned to say the least at the show changing, It was a great show and why change what people loved. It will not be on my screen.
I am very disappointed with the new format for THE DOCTORS show. You have just lost a faithful follower. The new show is very boring. The prior doctors were a lot more interesting and enjoyable to watch and laugh with while receiving important medical information about health issues that normally were never discussed on TV.
Shocked and disappointed. Will not be watching the new series.
How do you say bla bla bla turned into another boring am show
I will not be watching The Doctors anymore. The information on Covid spread and Coomonn Cold T cells, etc was not fully accurate nor agreed on by the scientific community. Almost like a conservative infomercial. In addition, painfully boring model, came off as forced and not believeable. Too much for 1 host to carry. Very very disappointed, so one less viewer showing a thumbs down.
I hate the new show, very boring. I miss the old cast and the interaction between the Doctors from the old show. I have watched it for many years but not anymore I just deleted it from my recording list.
BAD NEWS! The show was definitely in the moment and needs to be returned or lose many viewers like me. I will not watch.
What a shock to turn on the TV and not see Dr . Stork and Dr. Ordin and other hosts! I am very disappointed. I will not watch again . These doctors are well-informed and communicative. It is not the same without them for the season 2020.
