Doogie Howser, MD on Hulu

by

So the doctor talk got me to thinking about another of my favorite sitcom doctors, Doogie Howser. Well, that and the fact that I just spent the last week watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog over and over again. Dr. Horrible stars Neil Patrick Harris as, well, Dr. Horrible. And we all know that as a youngster, he was everyone’s favorite teen doc, Doogie.

I gained a whole new appreciation for Neil Patrick Harris with Dr. Horrible. He’s a very expressive actor, he’s funny and he can sing and dance.

So I went looking for him as Doogie, and I found him on hulu.com. The first two seasons are there, plus you can purchase DVDs of all four seasons. I took the time to watch through the pilot ep and I’ll definitely be watching more. The show is more serious than funny (its referred to as a comedy-drama or dramedy), although the entire premise of a 16-year old doctor was probably supposed to be funny, even though the show itself doesn’t have lots of jokes. Interestingly, Harris was actually 16 years old when the show started (in the pilot, Doogie is celebrating his 16th birthday), but he looked really young, as he still does. He’s now 35 years old, but he has that little baby face. I’ll bet he hates that.

I guess this means I’m gonna have to start watching How I Met Your Mother, now, which is unfortunately not on hulu. Oh, and if you haven’t seen Dr. Horrible yet, it’s well worth the $3.99 fee for the whole thing on iTunes.
