    Delightfully low tech and sort of cheesy-- in a great way! Can't wait to watch it.

    I hope they allow people to post episodes on YouTube - my cable company doesn't carry Retro TV and this was a wonderful Soap!

      Luken Communications who owns Retro TV is deeply in debt. They're in a lawsuit now with creditors and are trying to sell their networks. The case will be decided in September. If the judge rules they can't sell, they'll go into bankruptcy, and Retro TV will be liquidated along with their other networks. Sadly The Doctors might not ever make it to air.

      If SFM Entertainment had any sense they'd pitch it to MeTV or one of the other classic TV channels. Better yet, they should make it available to everyone through online streaming. It's the 21st century people. The old business model of syndicating to OTA stations is antiquated. People want to watch through other platforms, and Retro TV is available OTA only.

    Doesn't this clip contradict everything we've heard about the networks "wiping" videotapes from the 60s and 70s to re-use them? How did "The Doctors" survive and nobody seemed to know it?

      The only thing I can figure out, that it was Colgate-Palmolive that saved them. It certainly wasn't NBC--we already know their track record in this regard.

    I hope MeTV and the other classic networks add soaps to their line-up.
