This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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.

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?

Doctor, Doctor was a short-lived comedy series from 1989 and I still remember it quite well.I'm still waiting for this show to make it to reruns. It is my all time favorite TV comedy series. I used to have gasp for air from laughing so hard at this show. Never before or since have I found such deliciously funny dialogue. Of course, having the very comical Matt Frewer starring in it helped too. He was just perfect in the role of the bizarre main character (a doctor).I would definitely purchase it should it ever make it onto DVD. Has anyone heard rumors of if/when that should happen?

I, unfortunately, have really poor quality copies of the episodes on VHS and I wasn't able to get any of the original summer replacement episodes, but I have to say this was the funniest sitcom I ever saw.This was one of those rare shows where you got the feeling that the actors raced out of bed to get to the studio because it was just too much fun. They managed to combine some serious social issues with the outright insanity of improv in a way that did not stretch credibility. I especially liked the interactions between Dr. Stratford and his brother Richard. Richard's open homosexuality was a source of some of the most cutting, and honest, brother to brother humour I have ever seen. Even by todays "Will and Grace" gay humour standard, this stuff still far-and-away exceeds it in wit and spontinaity.Matt Frewer has never really seemed to capitalize on his amazing talents, and more is the shame. While the show centered on him and his amazing energy, none of the other characters seemed like set dressing. Each of the supporting cast seemed to draw energy and inspiration from Frewer's antics and together they were (and in my mind still are) the best comic ensemble ever to come out of TVCBS cancelled the show because the then president of programming said his wife thought is was stupid and didn't understand the humour ... you may notice they have gotten a new president who actually has that network back on track
