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 like the format of the old show. Sorry, but I rarely tune in anymore. You need to bring the original line up back. Just saying..
Loved the old show. Agree that new show is doing what our government is–giving us a bunch of nothing that we want. We need familiarity and goodness of our old show. Sorry. So sad..so disappointed. Not a viewer anymore.
We loved the original doctors. Not big on talk shows but the doctors was the one to watch but now we are bored with the new show. think it was a bad choice of change. We will not be tunning in no more. So sad it’s that bad.
We do not like the new doctors. The other cast was more informative and exciting to watch we will not be tunning into the new doctors any more. Poor choice of change. So sad.
No, I will not be tuning in.
won’t be watching new show. boring, why would you change a good show and make it bad!
Won’t be watching without the original doctors.
I don’t like the new Doctors Show. It is boring Bring back the former drs.
I don’t like the new Doctor daytime. Sorry I don’t watch it. Too boring
Very disappointed with what you’ve done with the Dr show. I definitely miss the old hosts, the interaction and the fun. The new format is uninteresting and I miss Dr. Stork. Will unfortunately not be watching this season.
My husband and I watched the new format of ‘The Doctors” for a couple of months. We decided we like the original. We really love (Dr. Stork, Dr Orden, & Dr. Batra )… We love it so much we’d tape the show so I wouldn’t miss it. Don’t think we will continue to watch.
I am a fan of the original hosts and I am disappointed they are not returning. I will not be watching the new show.
I waited to watch the Drs each morning. I watched this new format. I find it less interesting, and informative. The former format was better rounded and less superficial. I will watch something else that makes better use of my time.
Yes , I will miss them. But I also like the new format.
Not watching after several attempts. Sorry but not engaging host. Miss the questions answered and the banter. Sorry.
Will not be watching! I like the original hosts!
