What do you think? Are you glad that The Good Doctor TV show has been renewed for a fifth season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
I miss Nicholas Gonzalez in the show. I might stop watching the show since he has been killed in the show.
Stop, don’t contribute to ratings anymore.
TGD has lost what it made great.
I love the good Doctor I would cry, if it was ever cancelled this show is the best, my grandson has autism . You go shawn.
I did love the show, it’s diversity was it’s best feature. I have never seen a show with a Hispanic in a lead and positive roll. Then they kill off the only Hispanic.
I have since stop watching.
it’s very sad that diversity on TV and movies is only Black.
Love this show. Thought provoking and emotional. I hope it comes back.
I’ve been a fan of The Good Doctor since day 1. Please please do NOT cancel this terrific show.
Please please please please please do not cancel the good doctor. It is so great to have a show that is unique and positive.
The Good Doctor is my favorite TV show. I sincerely hope that ABC will renew it for at least 2-3 more seasons. PLEASE???
Please show season 5. Cannot wait. Many family members and our friends love the series. Please.
I hope The Good Doctor returns with season 5 and more I love the show please return!!
This is an excellent unmissable addictive program.
All I WANT IS MORE
One of the best shows on TV. Please don’t cancel this!
I love this show. Please don’t cancel
Good Doctor is the best show on TV
I agree, it was the best show on TV. Was it too intelligent for the common folk in this country? Please, please put it back on the air. So many good TV shows are cancelled and I will never figure out who makes these decisions.
It 2ould be nice if you would NOT cancel good shows like the good doctor yet you keep stupid shows in like big bang theory and the Simpsons. Sha e in you!!
You do know that the Big Bang Theory no longer is going and if the rumours are true, they are ending the Simpsons too soon.
I pray and hope that ABC will renewal Good Doctor for the 5 seasons.
I would hope the good doctor stays on for more seasons. Love the show! I just don’t care for adding the pandemic to the story line, unnecessary !
I AGREE!!!!!
Hope Good Doctor doesn’t get the virus
