Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

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.

This series stands along with Fawlty Towers as the most hilarious and short-lived series on television. As with Max Headroom, Frewer was far ahead of his time and the show's humor and situations (i.e. his gay brother) were too controversial for 1989 audiences.I think Frewer's talents have been grossly under-exploited and all of his work since, has been good, but has not provided a good vehicle to exploit his strengths. (The ad-lib outtakes seen on a CBS blooper show in '89 were outrageously funny!!)Given the right situation he would be one of the comic geniuses of our time.I keep hoping to see a DVD set or a run on cable so I can tape it.

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.

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.
