Members Paul Raven Posted November 6, 2012 Members Share Posted November 6, 2012 According to Variety,there was some wheeling and dealing in mid 67 that could have seen The Doctors move to CBS.It was around the time that Colgate Palmolive took over outright ownership from creator Orin Tovrov. It was something to do with the William Morris Agency,who packaged the show for Tovrov and wanted to retain their weekly commission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
