Is There A Doctor, Doctor In The House?
As often happens, when I’m watching something, I go to the Internet to check on a fact and I get lead in another direction. This time, it was Dirty Dancing, which I just stopped on while flipping channels - and watched til the end, even though I’ve seen it at least a dozen times. Anyway, as I watched, I got to wondering about Jane Brucker, the actress who played Baby’s sister, Lisa Houseman. As it turns out, she was in a sitcom, although I must say I don’t remember her. She was a character on Doctor, Doctor, one of my very favorites shows from way back when.
I was always a huge Matt Frewer fan, from Max Headroom, of course, and would have watched anything he was in. But Doctor, Doctor was really good and very funny. Although there are no DVDs available, I did manage to score some youtube videos of the pilot ep, “The Search for Armand Peltzer,” and will post them here for your enjoyment. Even more fun, this is one of the three eps that Jane Brucker appeared in on the series, as Elizabeth McQueen, who works at the television station where Dr. Mike Stratford (Matt Frewer) goes to be interviewed for his book.
The clips aren’t a perfect match, and they are little grainy, but then they obviously came from someone’s video of the show. I have most of those eps on video tape myself. Although I’m pretty sure they are dead by now. Its sad, but video doesn’t last forever.
Enjoy!
