Docteure Doogie

I had forgotten that this was being made, so when I saw this on Disney+, it surprised me. So I'm watching this now and I am actually really impressed. Making Doogie a girl was a great idea. And the meta connection of saying that this child prodigy was nicknamed because of the Doogie Howser TV show from the 90s was a terrific touch. Of course it means we don't get to see a 40 something Howser in a character cameo, but we might get to see Neil Patrick Harris in an actor cameo. The series has plenty of potential!

My 13 year old daughter loves that series, so I watched some episodes with her, and I have to say that it is a very good show for this age group. So all the haters should not compare this show with Breaking Bad or the Wire. It's a fun teenage show with sympathetic characters, about first love, responsibility and some medical and socials topics. The acting is good and at least in my humble opinion the production quality is quite high. That the location is set in Hawaii helpes for great locations and great views. So please take this show for what it is. If you are a over 40 year old single part time movie critic with no kids, skip this show. Do you want your daughter seeing a smart teen show, let her watch this.

I don't understand why this show is receiving so much hate. Doogie Kamealoha, M. D. is a super cute and wholesome show. I am a mother to two young/pre-teen daughters. This show has turned out to be a perfect mix of Disney kid friendly with a slight preteen edge to it. It has also taught some valuable lessons. We watched it together as a family and we all really enjoyed it. The adult humor that is slipped in is my favorite.

We recommend it and are very hopeful that there will be a season 2!

This show is actually pretty good. Really enjoyed watching it with my daughter. Was a huge fan of the original NPH version, but this show pays neat (and funny) homage to it in episode one and then goes on to develop its own thing. Very funny at times, for family humor, and very well cast - we love the characters. Especially good for adults and kids together. I don't even usually like Disney stuff, but try this.

I love everything about this series, a 16 year old genius doctor, a very chill surfer dad and a busy-body mom trying to balance being a mom and running a hospital. It's awesome to see how Lahela learns that being a doctor doesn't translate to other skills, how Claire learns to try to go with the flow, how Benny helps everyone find the beauty in life. I hope to see more development between Kai and B. P., I'd also love to see what happens when Walter goes on tour and how Lahela handles that feeling along with (hopefully) being promoted to Chief of Residence.
