Thanks for the heads up on this. I went to the website and noticed they have a message board. I registered and posted a comment. This is a great opportunity to send a positive message about DS to the producers and the world. Sign up and leave a comment if you can. The message boards are under the community heading.http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/show_page/101HopeThe greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own. - Disraeli

I totally agree. That's why I left a message.RubyGrrr. People make me sick. The show was so good and all of the morallycorrupt little gods of this world have to go to the message board andspew their venom. Why can't they go find some nazi message board topost on? Sorry, I'll probably regret this later but sometimes you just have enough.Hope> Careful, there's a nasty comment on here. So, I left a comment of my > own.> Ruby=

Here's some inside scoop--- Sears is on 's football team--my husband coaches him. They taped this show on a Friday and I saw Dr. Sears at practice that afternoon---he was really worried about the way they would edit the show because the 'pre-show' plan that he was a part of 15 minutes before taping was going to focus on the gloom and doom, the 90% abortion rate, the medical complications etc. THANK GOD he was there, he completely turned it around!

He told them in those final minutes that they had it all wrong and were going in the complete wrong direction and were going to bring the wrath of the DS community down on them...and they listened and turned it into the positive show it became today!

---there was an introduction that they cut that was all negative, he was worried they were going to keep it (it had been written way in advance of the pre-show meeting) but they cut it. WHEW!

All in all I think it came off well! BUT too bad it didn't air before the Buddy Walks!

I did not get to watch the show but my sister did. She said that when they asked the question about having our kids attend regular classrooms for their education he responded with a really good answer/quote...anybody remember or know what it was??

There are a couple of others that were negative but thisone just irritated me to the core, which probably was her whole intentin posting it anyway.

I was just Dr. Sears saying that was fully included and at first the teacher wasen't so keen on the idea, but by the end of the year she had really come around AND she even surveyed the class and all buy 1 student was happy that had been in their class.
