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?
Tried to watch and only made it for 10 min of the show both times! Will not watch anymore! If the other host come back I will watch again
Hate it liked the inter action between doctors I wont be watching
I do not like the new version. Talks down to viewers and nothing comparable to old version. Please bring the old version back.
Why did they ruin a good show, there aren’t many left. I guess it’s good though it isn’t good to watch to much tv anyway
Why did they ruin a good show.
I also wont be watching the new show, I really liked Dr. Travis Stork show . No one could keep us updated like they could on Med. Info. Please bring them back. What a loss to eveyone. Bring back the old Dr’s show .
This is a very bad move!!!! I will no longer watch The Doctors. It is boring!!! I learned so much from the original show and enjoyed the different segments and having veternarians on as well and other guest Drs. Dr. Botra and Dr. Travis Dr Ordin et al were very congenial. GOODBYE TO THE DOCTORS.
I have been watching the new show, which I like but I do like variety and I will miss the other doctors.
The new format is boring bring back the old hosts more exciting, more information, more guests, I like the old format
I gave watched the past 2 days, and I do not like it! It seems very elementary! I won’t continue to watch! Bring the others back, please!
I am very disappointed. I do not like the show any more. I will not be watching. Dr. Travis Stork, Dr. Ordon and Dr. Judy were great and kept us very much informed. It is a shame you will be losing TV watchers because of this change. Why couldn’t you just add this new Dr.?
Oh my gosh I agree with everybody so much why in the world did they do this I like the new host and he was a regular guest quite often on the original show I think he’s very intelligent he has a great personality but this was a major change that I think they’re going to regret it I do not think the show will last or even make it one full season. I’m so disappointed
Maybe with other hosts, sharing the stage, he would be OK but he isn’t so good as a solo act. Should have just added him on the show instead of messing everything up.
I am very disappointed that the regulars have left. I am not watching it anymore. I really liked the Dr.’s that were on. I know lots of friends who quit watching it.
This is a major disappointment! I love Travis Stork who is so full of information, compassion and professionalism. I also truly liked the others on the show and will miss all of them. Don’t understand why this change was made, but from what I currently see and know, I won’t be watching. Who made this terrible decision?
I loved The Doctors show and found it to be very informative, until now. I hate this new version! Major change and major mistake! This is so dry and boring I won’t be watching! Bring back Dr. Travis, Dr. Ordon and Dr. Judy or risk a major loss of viewers.
Unhappy with the new program. Dr. Smith is very informative but not as entertaining + informative as the previous cast. I now find other programs or read.
