    A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

    I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

    Hysterical, anti-opiate television shows seem to be the big thing these days. I've noticed that not ONE anti-opiate testimonial TV show ever bothers to speak to people like myself, who are chronic pain patients. I have a pain management plan that utilizes aquatherapy, massage therapy, mindfullness, and physical therapy, along with opiate pain killers. It's called a "multidisciplinary" approach to chronic, intractable pain. Does anyone besides my doctor(s) and myself care whether or not I'm able to take care of my elderly inlaws, or even more important, my autistic son? Somehow I don't think so, as I never see issues such as these addressed. When was the last time anyone mentioned that fentanyl has been used recently as pain medication for pediatric cancer patients who can't keep food down after chemo, and can't keep pain medication down either? Of course it's flavored, yet it helped to save my nephew's life. Tell both sides of the story. Ususally there's another side to the "ratings only" story. Tell it! Be honest, and let people think for themselves!

    I'm only wasting the time to post this review so you don't waste your time watching the show.During the entire hour, there might be one or two somewhat interesting and helpful stories but most segments are for shock value, concerning extremely rare diseases or horrible things that have happened to a guest for us to gawk at like an accident on the side of the highway. Almost every episode includes some poor soul with severely decayed teeth, but if you don't watch the show religiously for months on end, you'll never get to see the amazing transformation when the dental services were offered for free. Or some other poor sap with maggots in his ear. You get the gist.It's very "tabloidish" and voyeuristic. They include many things that have nothing to do with medicine such as celebrity news, and tips on fashion and applying makeup. A great deal of time is spent on issues that are barely medical ones, such as cosmetic procedures. The show has a lot of fillers such as long promos before every commercial break to let us know what's coming up. Often, the clip shown is not even seen in the story! If you were to record it and edit out all the fluff, there would be less than 20 minutes of actual show left.The hosts shout a lot, constantly talk over each other, and interrupt each other, which is extremely annoying. They act like total goofs, not like doctors. Dr. Ordin is the most redundant host, and it's hard to take him seriously with that fake tan.There is a reason why this ridiculous show has received mostly very negative reviews in here. Instead of repeating the same complaints, just read the other reviews!

    My wife watches "The doctors" and I do not like the show. There is some positives in the show where the viewer learns about certain conditions and medical advice. What burns my burrito is the drama mixed with medicine. I hate the mix for it makes medicine look unprofessional. "The Doctors" always brings into the show drama of either sexual and or bizarre. Some of the discussions I would rather not hear. The show loses my interest. I think the show may turn people into hypochondriacs. I like the nutrition side of it. The show also may cause people to have anxiety about their health. It might be just as bad as looking up conditions on the internet and then worrying that you have that condition. I give "The Doctors" a five out of ten.

    The 'doctors' have no charisma. They seem to be reading from a book and have no interaction with real people. It seems as if they look at each other more than the audience or the camera which gives the impression that they are hoping one of the other doctors agree with what they are saying. THis is really silly, because they are clearly reading from a script. The topics are remedial at best, no new information and no personal stories of people who experience what the are talking about. Dr. Oz covered all this stuff years ago. All that being said, the show would be OK with all these shortcomings if the 'doctors' had any personality, panache or even were nice to look at. But, alas, it lacks all of these things and no substance in content, to boot.This show sucks at best.
