Meanwhile, at Noon, Doctors is earning single-digit share numbers for NBC. Just Men! enters and betters Doctor's 6-or-7 average with a 9 share.
Raising the ratings from "squat to squat and a half"</The Critic> obviously didn't make up for Tinker's displeasure. In fairness, there were other issues (booking seven male celebs every week, and how many different secrets could you reveal about all of them before circling around again?). I'm going to give Tinker the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Putting a soap at noon wasn't a ridiculous idea, but
The Doctors was old and tired by that point.
