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?
I really enjoyed the original hosts. wont be watching thenew season.
I’ve tried watching it a few times and can’t get past a couple minutes of it. So sad. This show has no personality. Boring. The colors of the stage are cold. Won’t be watching it again.
Sorry to say the new format is “Boring”. Just deleted daily recording on my DVR I gave it a chance but fast-forwarded through most of the first weeks episodes. Found the New Format immensely lacking in comparison to the Old; in substance and entertainment.
Boring, Not as interesting
Yes I will miss all the drs and won’t care weather I miss any parts of the new drs don’t find the 13th season that interesting as I miss all the interesting subject such as how to loose weight beauty tips all the desires that are out there etc
I do not like the new show at all. I always enjoyed the comadre of the doctors. Nie it is more like a news theme. I will not be watching new series
Not nearly as good, won’t watch but did watch a couple times.
I do not care for the new format. it’s boring with one host, why not just add this new host to the original cast? it too much for one person to carry. I won’t be watching anymore.
New format is not nearly as good.. host is not bad but not nearly as good or interesting as the originals.. I probably won’t be watching anymore..
I don’t like the new show!
I hate the new season and the format and I will not be watching it
Don’t like it at all. The doctor is boring, and so have the conversations been. I really don’t care about what’s going on now all the time. I want to feel better about something so give me some news that does not drag me down. And I hope to goodness he’s not going to be political.
Not a fan of the new show.
I liked the old show. This one is boring
I don’t like the new format, it’s flat with no personality. I miss the commradery of the doctors on the old format, and have tried watching the new season twice. I don’t like it and will not be watching it anymore.
