Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A Major Disappointment

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

If you wanna know how to make the day's journey a little lighter, yet no less serious, then tune in to an episode of Dr./Dr. The problem rests where most problems lie, the show was abandoned by its parent before the children could save this plateau for honest living. What I mean is, this production and the specific actors in it had true chemistry. They bounced like phenomenal electrons off each other, off the reoccurring themes of human emotion, and finally off syndication. Why..? They were just that good. But "good" is a relative, right? So, you'll just have to check an episode out...someday...if that day becomes available. And decide if those factors of comic genius, innocuously inoculative, are subtly striving in your veins to find a wiser person. And, of course, they will. All you really need...

I just rediscovered this series due to having to transfer the videos I taped off USANetwork on to DVD. Doctor, Doctor is one of those rare TV series which still works 10 plus years after its production. Some of the humor is tied to pop culture at the time, but if you were alive then, you can pick up on it.The show had a good balance of zaniness and pathos. Matt Frewer as Dr. Mike Stratford played the character as not a total goof ball, but as a real person in extraordinary circumstances. As hard as it is to imagine, Mike Stratford was the straight man for all the craziness happening around him. Much like Frasier Crane would later do for his family and friends.I am hoping this show would find some sponsorship for a DVD release. The humor is mild but intelligent, but not too high brow. Stand it up against most shows today and the present shows should curl up in shame. A true classic, CBS should be ashamed of itself at canceling this show. It could easily had had the life of a show like Frasier. But this only says Doctor, Doctor was ahead of its time.P.S. Am very chuffed, I found some original recordings I made at the time the show first aired on CBS. I don't have all the episodes, but I think I have most of them anyway.

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.

Along time ago when I wasn't as good with my VCR as now, I taped a lot of these shows. Probably at least 30 of them. They were recorded off regular TV (not cable) at the slow speed - and look like it. But, I still drag them out about once a year to watch and just crack up.Why doesn't some "TV Executive" (whatever) pull these and air them again? I realize 15 - 20 years ago they were ahead of their time (gay brother; a reviewer of plays with HIV, etc.) but I think the 'general' public has caught up by now.Maybe it could be slipped in between, i.e. the 3rd hour of news about the rain in Los Angeles and one of the five zillion reality shows!Or, release the entire series on DVD - I'd pay up to $250 - ANYONE ELSE?
