This us a grear tv soap with a great cast and storyline

they are so cute!!

Can they use the tapes people at home recorded For those missing years?

I enjoy watching The Doctors on the It’s real good TV app.

6:00 - From this part onwards certainly gave me a fright because it dawned on me before they even mentioned it that those missing episodes may have been wiped out of existence, which, as it turned out that it was. Being an editor myself, I certainly can relate with the efforts done on digitizing any show made from a long time ago. I myself had the honor of being able to do a similar process to some shows in the 1990s and early 2010's for a client of the company I work for. The shows came in either small digital tapes or in betamax, all in varying degrees of damage. Ironic though that shows made from 1990's were all in better condition than the ones from only 10-15 years ago.

Thanks to Colgate-Palmolive for having the foresight to save the episodes. It's tragic that someone at Procter & Gamble didn't have the same idea. Thank you, Retro TV, for going through the painstaking process of digitizing the episodes. I worked at a TV station in the 80's and we would get those huge 2" tapes from Coral Ridge Ministries in the mail to play on an ancient Ampex machine on Sunday mornings.

Adam West could have been an amazing Doctor.

Oh my goodness Debs. I must've met her within a few weeks of this interview; she passed away a month or two after the con where I saw her. Such a sweet, funny lady.

Please gain the rights to The Edge of Night!

Can you get some retro episodes of One Life to Live?

Was frank real or just an figment of maggies imagination? We cannot figure this out. The writing is real good.

We thought ann was really Karen Werner. Was there a hurricane on the doctors. Somebody should write a separate book about the show.

😂❤Love the Doctors. 2:13 2:17

It’s probably just me but the whole story of what they did to restore The Doctors is pretty cool.

I hope the guiding light reels are in there also

Have they tried to find any other older soaps? Now that they have the equipment might be a good time.

Roger moore has quit being James bond and decided to be in retro tv

The edge of night would be a great soap opera to add to your streaming service 🙏🏻

Have to wonder about all the other programs that deserve this effort?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I began watching daily on Retro TV earlier this year (I believe currently around late 1971) and then every Saturday since last July (I believe currently early to mid 1980). I am really enjoying this show, I think it is great! I'm 60 now and always loved the soaps but never watched The Doctors during it original run. This is truly a treat to now watch and I must admit I am hooked. Thank you again, all of you for the effort you put into making this happen!

I just love these stories , could listen to them all day.

To bad could see early years of the doctors

We see some 1963 into 1964 at the 1:30 mark When do you plan to add them to the website and maybe air them after the 1980 shows on Saturday

Seeing the sheer size of the reels alone explains why so few shows of this era have survived, not to mention the herculean effort needed to digitize them for preservation. This show was certainly worth the effort, and the finished product looks terrific. I have noticed that some episodes that had aired on RTV in years past are now absent. Hopefully they weren't lost between 2014 and now. Kudos to Retro TV for stepping up to the plate when no one else cared.

Arrrr R.I.P DEBORAH xx😔

Any chance of seeing the shows prior to December 4, 1967?

Hey! That’s “Metz” at 0:07 from “Diamonds Are Forever” (“Will you get out of here you annoying little man…?!”)

Would it be possible for you to put all the full episodes of The Doctors here on youtube ? It would be so much more practical to be able to watch them here on youtube . Thank you for all the hard work you have already accomplished .

Thank you so so much to every single person in any way involved in making this happen!!!!!! Your contribution to the history of U.S. and international TV broadcasting is immeasurable!!!!!!! Not to mention the joy you have brought to old and new fans alike!

good job this is the only soap where the reels exist........the rest where wiped.....so enjoy........

Thank you so much for all that you did for us to be able to watch The Doctors. Quite an undertaking. Maybe you would be able to get three other short lived soaps that I believed have been saved. Bright Promise was also on NBC from 1969-1972 as was a Bing Crosby Production and also on NBC from 1972-1974-Return to Peyton Place. Capitol was on CBS from 1982-1987 as well.

There are only 171 episodes posted and not 181 as promoted in the Michael Fairman article. The episode where Matt rescued Maggie is not there and many of the dates are wrong. Some episodes are listed on a date that was on a Saturday.

This is not related to the Doctors, but I've heard over the years that Colgate owns The $50,000 Pyramid. I hope they can it from Colgate (Sony still doesn't have that in their holdings).

Great work! I thought the 1967-1979 episodes were already digitized. Wasn't it only the 1980 episodes that needed to be digitized? Not trying to downplay the work that was done.

Hopefully they can find the finale.

This company deserves a lot of credit for digitizing an show like this. They’re not going to make a lot of money on it; it’s clearly a labor of love.

Thank you very much for your job! You offer us a real treasure! I hope you can rescue more soaps ( OLTL 70s-80s, Capitol 5 years, Rituals 260 episodes)

How about getting OTHER classic soaps like “Dark Shadows”, “Bright Promise” (available from CBS/Paramount), “Santa Barbara”, “Strange Paradise”, and the prime time “Peyton Place”?

I assume you guys did reach out to NBC to see if they had the episodes somewhere. Sad that they were taped over. We are very lucky that Colgate did not do that. I also hope that you attempt to get any of the pre-1967 episodes and digitize them, we don't care if there are missing segments, we just want to see whatever is available. They can go online and or run them Saturday like you are doing with the 1980 episodes

Great job! Looking forward to watching the 1980 episodes. Fell in love with this show in 1970, as a 12 year old. Brings back loads of happy memories. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Shame the last two years were erased.. hope you start when Maggie gets rescued by matt

Thank you for all the hard work!!!

Even after time took it's toll, "Zoe" is still beautiful.

Where can I watch the full series?

I don't care if you believe me or not Janet or janis who ever you are in the saint the imprudent politician I've got better things and more important things to bother with than you not believing me and the same with you roger as your all bastards and have nothing to do with me stay out of my life .

I used to watch that show,always thought it was cool, might inspire some car model builders and car customization

Now imagine if they put Remington Steele on right after it.

Which would be fine if our antenna tv stations hadn't shuffled and Retro TV ISN'T available any more.:(

Roger was a much better "Saint" than a "Bond".

Are you guys on Comcast Xfinity?💘
