Doctor Doctor Audience Reviews

Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
brinchatt I have several episodes of "Doctor, Doctor" on VHS...about 16, It think. I didn't even know it ran for nearly three seasons. Does anyone have any idea when this wonderfully funny show will be released on DVD? It was truly "Must-See TV" on CBS. I just found out it was canceled because the head of the network's wife thought it was silly and didn't understand the comedy....heck, she probably didn't like the fact there was an openly gay character on it. This show was definitely the "Will and Grace" of its day....it was truly, rolling on the floor, laughing your a** off" comedy. I want it on DVD. OK, IMDb says I don't have enough lines in my comment, so I will write more. Matt Frewer was the star of the show, and it revolved around his relationships with his brother, mother, father and his medical associates at "Northwest Medical Partners" in Providence, RI. Hey, you know a show has to be good if it was set in a city like Providence, instead of New York or LA. After all, there are many more cities to set shows in! And, did I mention I would love for this show to be on DVD?
Shazzer30 Matt Frewer, best known for his "Maxx Headroom" Coke commercials, had a great series going with "Doctor, Doctor". I was pretty young when it was on, but I remember my Dad and I used to laugh and laugh. It was one of those shows he'd anticipate watching (a big deal, as he's someone who regards watching T.V. as a huge waste of time). If you have an opportunity to see it, you should. Personally, I'm emailing networks that air reruns and suggesting DD. Funny stuff. Makes you wonder: how does a great show like DD get canceled, yet insipid tripe like "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance" is a huge hit. To quote Sideshow Bob, TV has become a "chum bucket". Bring back shows like DD and let's obliterate 95% of "reality" shows.
pentax12101 CBS has been the number three network for a long time and a major reason for that is their poor use of excellent shows. Doctor, Doctor is a prime example of that. This sitcom was hidden at 10 o'clock on (I think) wednesday night after a full night of bad programming. This was however the funniest sitcom ever. Where shows like Friends entertain me and make me laugh out loud, this was the only show to ever make me laugh so hard that tears ran down my face. This show was taken off the air after only a short time in CBS' Witness Protection Program, so I never saw a rerun of any of the episodes, but I can still remember whole scenes. Matt Frewer came to do this show shortly after the Max Headroom craze he started and this was where his comedic skill really showed through. This show will never be on DVD and I will never get to see any of these episodes again, because the same genius that took this show off the air has thrown these tapes all the way to the back of the vault, where they will never be found; but I will never forget the scene where Matt Frewer's character was on the news explaining what happens in an accident that causes whiplash. He had this little girls' doll and was showing how the accident makes the head go back and then forward which is what causes the injury. The thing is that the dolls head came off in his hand. With a news anchor sitting next to him wondering how to get him to just shut up and the cameras on him he proceeded to try to put the head back on and "professionally" finish his segment. It didn't work. The next segment (when I finally was able to control my laughing) showed him in his office with the doll trying to figure out how to put the head back on and obviously feeling like an idiot because of what he had done on live TV. He then gets too frustrated with the doll and drops the head on the table, and next he uses the doll to kick the head off the other side of the table. It is of course impossible to explain a visual joke well, but the tears started coming down again.I'm remembering all of this after seeing this scene once 14 years ago. It says something either about the quality of the show or the state of my mind. I think it's the show. My dream DVD list includes this series, but I guess I'll only keep the part that's in my head.
weekley-2 I loved every second of this show, and hated how the network just kept bouncing it around until it died.My favorite episode was when Dr. Mike's Dad was getting a divorce and Dr. Mike was dressed as a clown.And who could forget the way he messed up deidre, erm deedree I mean diedri's name all of the time.Classic comedy the likes of Lucille Ball and Robin Williams.If anyone knows how I can get tapes of the series episodes please let me know.Thanks!
