Per request of @Paul Raven
Confidential for Women aired on ABC, from March 28-July 8, 1966. Replaced by The Newlywed Game.
A weekday anthology series of five-part melodramas based on case files of psychiatrist and best-selling author Theodore Isaac Rubin, who was on hand for observations and comments about the stories. Hosted by Jane Wyatt.

Can you watch the episodes from watchthedoctors.com on your computer? If so, any appletv user could just play it on the computer and send it to the appletv and watch it on the t.v.
Yes, it can be viewed on a computer. I even watch it sometimes on my ipad, without an app.

They're supposed to be airing the very first episode from 1963 on that day too.

So far, only Roku and Android have been released. But, Retro said previously that it's going to also be available via iOS and Amazon Fire.

FYI, if you're subscribed to watchthedoctors.com, you can find the 70s episodes by searching for the year, e.g., /70, /71 . . . Click on Trending or Popular before the search. They've uploaded to August 1979, which is just a few months behind what is airing on Retro TV.

I downloaded the app and paid for a one-year subscription. The problem I have is that the site isn't very user friendly. I want to see the cast interviews that took place a couple of months ago so badly!!!
It’s very basic right now. I want to see the interviews too. I think they tried doing too much at once. At least the free streaming worked today, and it was the same episode that aired on Retro. Also hope that it will be available on-demand because the time for the live-stream isn’t convenient for most people.

I read on FB that Audrey Peters died last summer. Her son posted about it on his page at the time.

I would love to know who was involved in the steamy sex scene on The Doctors.
Maybe Toni (Anna Stuart) and Alan (Gil Gerard), though they would seem fairly tame to modern viewers.

Daily TV Serials printed some letters it received re the Val/David story. Even the few that were fit to print took me aback. Some were positive too though.

Just outta curiosity, did they focus a lot on Addie in the early years? I know in the 70's she had her romance with Doug, but from what I've seen of clips of the 60's, she seems more like a supporting role.
I think she and Julie's father were gone by the end of 1965. Addie returned in 1971 after Ben died (off-screen). Doug and Julie were in the midst of their affair but few people knew about it. Addie hired a private detective to investigate Doug. Then she fell for him herself.

Yeah, I still can't watch but the first 5 or so minutes of any episode. I can't find any sort of email address to let them know. I guess I should try social media.
If you go to My Account on the website, there is a section at the bottom for customer service where you can report this too.

If you have Roku, the app is now available. Search "Watch the Doctors" in the channel store. However, I'm having the same buffering issues that are a problem on the website. I've told the person from Retro who has been updating us on Facebook. She implied it was an internet speed issue but I have no issues with any other streaming services that I have. I told her that others are having the same problem. She said she will pass the info to the technical people.

@slick jones I've bolded the names of the characters/actors for your list. Murray Hamilton and Louise Latham were also slated for appearances, based on the first press releases, but I'm not sure that they actually did.
