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?
No will not be watching any longer!! Just deleted it from my DVR. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Probably won’t watch. Don’t like new format
Guaranteed the show will tank. Trying to save salaries? A one person panel is will never succeed. What were all of you thinking? Who was the genius that made this decision?Goodbye to this show unless you get more doctors for interaction.
Will not watch Andrew and dr stork made the show
I have tried to watch the new show for 3 days. I am very disappointed and will not watch again. My opinion this show will go down in a hurry! Don’t like the format or host!!!
Very disappointed with change. Won’t watch much.
Ok. Tried for the third day. This long running informative, yet casual and fun show has turned into a bust. Boring. No more. I am may be brilliant but stuff and boring GoodBye
I will not be watching, this is ridiculous !
The McGraws too much power, becoming another Ellen.
Time to go ! I’m done with all.
I wont be watching “The Doctors ” anymore. So disappointed in the change.
No I will not be watching this show anymore. The doctors before had such a real , normal, friendly and happy cast. It is hard to believe that you removed them and I feel so bad they got a slap in the face. I will miss them so much.
This is the first review I have ever written. I am 81 years old. I am shocked and very disappointed. I enjoyed the show and the doctors. I have learned much from the show. I will miss the doctors. Dr Ian does not have much of a personality. I will have to find something else to watch at the time slot. I can’t believe you people canceled not really canceled I guess just changed doctors!!! Thank you for your time.
My father is newly house bound and this he show really enjoyed. He looked forward to it. We found the newly formatted show (DVR lost due to time or channel change) and after today we will not being watching it again. The panel formatted show was fun and interesting. We were looking forward to the panel telling us about Covid. The new format is cold and forceful. It leaves my dad depressed and me sad that now I have one less thing to provide him to enjoy.
SO DISAPPOINTED WILL NOT WATCH SAW THE FIRST 2 NBORING AND THE ORIG HOSTS WERE WITTY AND INFORMATIVE. YOU SCREWED WITH A GOOD FORMAT
Boring show. I missed the original doctors which were great and very knowledgeable. Please bring them back . I did watch the show which was boring. I won’t be watching the new show anymore. Looking forward to the old doctors show to come back.
Long time viewer of “the Doctors”, Will Not be watching the new format.
Have just stopped all recording. . Good bye Doctors
