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?
Do not like new show.
I will not plan on watching it. I really didn’t watch much of it once the first 4 original doctors were no longer with the show. This is a drastic change.
I did not like this new format. Very disappointed in the show today. I will not be watching.
Ridiculous. You have a winning format, why change, unless you want to cut expenses. Boo to you.
NO! I do not like the new host and format. Loved the previous cast.
I miss the the old show,NOT liking this new one or the host he has no personality,very dry. Better off watching HGTV!
Please bring back ,The Doctors, as it has been. We want Our Docs back. Love them and the show as it was,
I loved the doctors and The different topics. I actually know all I need to know about the coronavirus and current events, so I doubt that I will watch the new season why bother?
I watched it for 30 minutes & then turned it off as I don’t care for it & liked the old show a lot more. Thanks
Just watched it this am & don’t think I will watch it anymore as I liked to old show much better & already turned it off & watching a different program.
miss old hosts
I don’t like the new show, all of the doctors are gone! The discussion, great personalities and humor are what made the show! This guy sounds like a monotone newscaster. What were you thinking?! Now I have to look for a new show to watch every morning.
Changing the channel now
I am a fan of the show. I don’t know if I’ll like the new format or not.

I will miss the old format & hosts. I liked hearing such a variety of topics with different persoectives. Nee format doesn’t appeal to me so far of what read in this article.
I saw it today for the first time. I do not like the new format and will no longer watch it. I thought the old format was entertaining and informative.
