I loved Doctor Doctor as well! It was super funny and paved the way for characters that humorously are out of place. Which is much like how my life is. I am writing an Art History paper about Kiki Smith and her sculptural works that deal with AIDS and bodily fluids. As an entertaining side note I wanted to describe the scene when a female doctor kisses someone with AIDS. She did it to prove that she could not get AIDS. Can anyone give me more information? Who were the characters, when did this happen? Do you remember the news coverage and how it was made into a big deal before and after it happened? I think this Web site is the only place to look for such random information.

frewer was genius casting for this role, and the rest of the cast worked just as well. if you like madcap, you will like 'doctor, doctor.' unfortunately you will never see it unless someone issues the series on DVD. or even VHS. anyone heard anything? netflix/amazon does not have DVD, amazon does not have VHS, at this writing (2006 oct 7), though i keep looking. all i have are deteriorating tapes on my deteriorating VHS. (insert small suppressed whimper here) frewer was just as good in 'max headroom,' btw, but be sure you see the American version, especially of the pilot. the British version was pretty leaden, but the American pilot chase scenes rock.

pentax12101 hit it right on the head. I still clearly remember the night my wife and I watched the "Doll" episode as it came to be known in our house. We laughed so hard we were crying. Our sides hurt for days. We were on the floor, literally! It was the funniest television scene ever. Nothing from Seinfeld, Cheers, MASH, All in the Family or The Dick Van Dyke Show can top it, and I have greatly enjoyed all these shows (and I'm showing my age as I did not need to watch them on Nick at Night).CBS in its infinite bureaucracy and mediocrity canceled this show so quickly. As soon as anyone hears of a DVD release, please send me an email. I have only bought three other TV shows, Star Trek, Monty Python and The Prisoner, so you can see that I don't generally buy TV shows. But I'd be willing to plunk down good money to be rocked by this great show again.

This is an excellent series. I'm too young to have remembered the first run, but now that it appears on the USA Network in re-runs, I can see what all the fuss is about.Matt Frewer is excellent in his portrayal of a wacky doctor. Yet, he's not as goofy or lame as the stereotype may suggest.A good word to describe this series is certainly "manic," but in a very good way. Here's hoping USA keeps running the repeats.
