More about season 13 of the daytime series was revealed in a press release.

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?
The new Doctors is boring. I won’t watch because I am accustomed to hearing soft spoken Travis and Dr. Drew. Those two voices fit with The Doctors and I expect to hear them.
No, I will not be watching the show. I faithfully watched it before when the regular doctors were on it. The format was great and it carried a variety of subjects of interest to the general public.
I do not like this new format ! Please bring back the original doctors; they were entertaining . This new format is like watching the news, with a newscaster. It is BORING ! I am not watching this show . Why was a good show changed ? It does not make any sense !
I look forward to watching The Doctors Show. Watched new host and not impressed. I won’t be following the show now.
It didn’t need changing. Dr. Travis and Dr. Drew were the show. Bring them back.
I too am so disappointed in this change of The Doctors TV Show. Have you ever heard the saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I think the change just ruined any chance of the new show doing well at all. It’s too different and NO Personality! The personalities of the doctors was a major part of the show. Now you have none!!!
i will not watch this at all, no interaction the doctors means more than one, this might be informative but its depressing and boring.i miss having the female opinion to.not entertaining was so much fun and informative to listen to the banter back and forth . no dont like this at all it cant be called the doctors when there is only one.
No I will not be watching. It’s like being in school – being lectured to for an hour!
I have watched the new format for The Doctors and I’m not impressed at all with it. I watched the previous seasons and enjoy the banter that the hosts had. This Doctor has no “bedside manner ” about him . I’m sure that I’ll try to watch it again a couple of times …………… but it doesn’t have the spark and family feel.
I’m so disappointed in seeing that you changed the host. I really enjoyed the show with Travis.
I’m so disappointed in the change. I really enjoyed the previous hosts.
Not everything requires change . It is ridiculous that they will not be returning. needless to say I will not continue watching either. I believe that the other hosts were very capable of keeping up-to-date with the changing times. judging by the other comments I don’t think I’m the only one that feels this way.
Very disappointed with new format of the Doctors.
The show was “funny” and educational with different views by the “Doctors”. No. Will not be watching current version.
I will miss the previous hosts of “The Doctors” show. Not a fan of the new format.
No I do not like the format, will no longer be watching, bad decision by network
