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’m so sad. I loved the playful doctors. This is boring.
Very disappointed in the new format. I understand the need for up to date info but this does not come close to the former show. Please bring bring The Doctors.
Bad move on the producers part !
It’s not even the same show.
Big mistake to change the show the doctors. I am a retired nurse but learned a lot by watching The Doctors show everyday
Bad move to cut The Doctors and cast. Wonderful show, watched it every day before Dr P. I will give new show one shot but it sounds boring and uninteresting. Already don’t care for it.
I was a fan of the doctors, but this one doctor is boring. Will have to skip, now.
One day I tuned in to watch The Doctors as I have known it for years. To my surprise it has changed completely. I found it to be very boring. The stage setup is very boring looking also. Not going to be watching this show. I had learned a lot through the years by watching it with all the different subjects and guests. What a shame to lose such a good informing show. I won’t be tuning in anymore.
I stopped recording this after seeing the first show. It is boring and not at all entertaining.
After I seen the first show I stopped recording it. I don’t care for it, it is boring, not entertaining at all.
I will discontinue watching the Drs. This guy is boring. It’s now a boring talk show. Jay and his dad screwed this one up.
I find the new show lacks enthusiasm and is basically boring.
The new Doctors show sucks, I will not watch it again it was so much more fun with the members you had on there before! You ruined the whole show!
as soon as I saw Dr Stork was not there I stopped recording it and haven’t watched it since
Kristi Holt – I liked the old format and the hosts now it’s boring. Just add this guy but keep the rest. Won’t watch if the old hosts won’t be back they were fun and funny not boring. I like having a female and many hosts.
Watched the new version a 3rd time. That is enough for me.
