So much average

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

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

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.

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?

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.
