This actress who appeared as a friend of Bobbie Duvall (Diane Kirksey) in the July 8,1980 episode (listed as July 10,1980 on the website)looks very familiar (and she isn't future Double Trouble & Home Improvement star Pat Richardson,who played Nurse Marion in the March 8 & 9,1979 episodes)

Wow, that's Patricia Richardson of "Home Improvement," right? I had no idea she appeared on "The Doctors!"

Pat Richardson actually appeared as Nurse Marion in the March 8 & 9,1979 episodes of The Doctors and this actress in the July 1980 episode is definitely not her.

The episodes are still free to watch on the itsrealgoodtv website, but there are now commercials, 30 second ones spaced throughout the episodes. Presumably they'll make more money this way than the $2.99 a month memberships?

On the 1968 episodes, the video for me is still jagged. The motion is not continuous. I'm watching their website on a Samsung smart TV, which never seemed to go well with their technology. Hopefully they'll fix things some day..

Been watching the 1980 episodes on It’s Real Good Tv. For a low rated soap at the time, it is still much superior than what passes for a soap opera today. 

Just yesterday I learned of the app It's Really Good TV being something that I could get on my Roku that happens to carry RetroTV. So, for the first time since I was a teen, I watched a very wonderful half hour of THE DOCTORS. I can only express to you that it was thrilling. I was giddy afterward. Carolee, Steve, Nick, Carolee's estranged husband, ... I mean, it was just so good! That is all.

A David Frost Show performance of "If You Let Me Make Love To You Why Can't I Touch You" from the off-Broadway musical Salvation (the song became a hit through Ron Dyson - too late to save the show). C.C. Courtney (Jody Lee) co-created Salvation, and was in the original cast, although I don't think he's here (it's been so long since I've seen Jody maybe I'm wrong).

C.C. is not in this clip.  His replacement Barry Bostwick is though.  I think that's Peter Link (Tom Hughes, ATWT) in the striped pants.  C.C. did an acoustic version of the song on The Doctors.

I think this was the moment when the word "groovy" was born.

I'd forgotten about him singing this on the show. (I can't even remember if he had an exit - by the time I stopped watching around the time of Althea's amnesia story he was barely appearing). Was Link on ATWT at this time or had he already left? (funny as I think someone named Colson also played Tom a few years after this)

That or "Groovy Kind of Love."

@DRW50 I think Link left ATWT in 1969.  Peter Galman replaced him, and then C. David Colson.  I can't remember whether Jody had an exit story either.  I think both he and Liz just disappeared.  Must not have been a significant goodbye, if I forgot it that fast, lol.

Thanks, as always.
