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?
Not a fan of the new format. No longer watch this show.
Hate the new format. I like watching a show where the hosts are smiling and cherry and lively while presenting serious information. Though the information is helpful. In this day during the COVID we need people who are personally uplifting and joyful in their presentation. Can’t watch this show now.
Do not like new format. No longer watch.
Not a fan. Boring
Sorry.. not a fan now. Liked the comraderie of previous cast and format. Nothing against Dr. Smith but it’s boring to this viewer. Adding Dr.Smith into other group would have been better or he could have had his own segment. Done watching.
I will not watch the new show. Bring back the three doctors. Trusted their opinions. What happened?
I miss Dr Travis and the others, don’t like the new show, very boring, please bring back the old Doctors please
I would rather have a panel of doctors giving their input and discussing their own ideas about the topics for the day. The doctors different personalities would provide some interest to serious topics and lighten the subject matters. Just my opinion.
Hate the new show….I’m done.
I for one love The Doctor’s the way it was! I won’t be watching the new show. The producers should of left well enough alone. I and many others I know will be missing our team of doctor’s that we all loved!
Didn’t know about this until today. Watched a portion of the show and won’t be watching it any more. He was talking to an expert who was telling us things about our kids returning to school. We know all this information. Miss our old doctors. Won’t watch.
Hate the new show.
I do not like the new format at all. Why is it when something is working it has too be changed. At this time there is more change than is tolerable. Why would you change an informative and entertaining show into a boring show. Even the introduction to the show is boring. Please return the original show with the original Doctor team. I will not be watching the new version.
Bring back the doctors !!!!!!! I do not like the new show at all !!!!!
My mornings won’t be the same. I like/respect Dr Ian Smith, but I MISS THE USUAL GANG! and topics.
Do not new format,will not watch anymore
nope. Liked the old show.
