Please, please, please bring this show back, even if it on late at night. I never minded that when it was first shown in Australia. It got shifted around from here to there, but I was so addicted to it that I'd often stay up to watch it even when shown at a ridiculous hour. I really wish I'd kept some episodes. Sadly, they have gone astray. Such memorable scenes, e.g. the vampire bat. Silly, but so funny. And great episodes, e.g. the adoption dilemma. Again, so funny, but also thought provoking. The quartet of doctors worked in perfect harmony, with the supporting characters adding to the chorus. I desperately want this show on DVD. It would be great comfort TV.

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.

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?
