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 like the new format and the new doctor. I am a retired R.N. and the new format is spot on
I loved watching the show because of the personalities of the doctors. I tried watching the new version and it is totally boring, just another news show. I am so sad about this change and will no longer watch it
I tried to watch the new version. It’s not personal or why I started watching in the first place. It’s cold more like a news cast, not like sitting with friends getting information and a laugh
Miss the “Dr.s ” program…do no like new one…probably not watch new one
Don’t like the new format at allllllllll…..miss the old show!! Won’t be watching! Why would you change? Makes no sense!
Watched several of the new version & will NOT make that mistake again. The previous version featured a variety of interesting or awkward topics with a wide range of guests. The hosts were personable, quirky & relatable. The new host is like a well educated college professor that knows the subject in his head but it hasn’t reached his heart/soul to come out. Change the name to The Dr. ditch the studio – do it as a Zoom lecture or an infomercialwith PDF’s of the info to save boring people or wasting their time.
I love the new show.
I like the new host a lot , I was tired of the old bunch they were beginning to act like “celebrities” instead of medical professionals
The show is boring without the four doctors . I will not be watching it.
Love Travis and Dr Ordon. The new show is very boring. I watched for less than five minutes. No I will no longer be watching.
No I will no longer watch The Doctors. Now it’s actually The Doctor and has lost all of it’s appeal to me. It wasn’t broke so why did you think you had to fix it?
I really looked forward to the original doctors. The variety was very informative and not at all boring.
I don’t appreciate the new, dull format and I’m so disappointed that the older version was discontinued
.
I will not continue watching the “new” version of the Doctors; it’s totally bOOOring!
I hate the new format and new doctor!!!! I will NOT continue to watch!!!!! Agreed boooooring!!!! Bring back the old crew PLEASE
Agreed!!!!
I enjoyed the variety of the “old” show. I do not like the new format at all. Dr. Ian Smith is very knowledgeable but extremely boring. Does nothing for me. I will not be watching this “new format”.
I used to love watching the doctors but I don’t like this new version. It’s to bland and the set is too sterile looking and unappealing. The magic between the other hosts made the show fun with all the laughter they shared. Now it’s just plain BORING. Sorry not interested anymore.
The new Doctors is AWFUL, I used to look forward to watching the show, but will NOT be watching any more till they bring back the old show.
