TV Series (1989-1993). 4 seasons. 97 episodes. Doogie is no ordinary teenager, he is a doctor. As smart as they come, he has been a doctor since the age of fourteen. But it's not because you are highly intelligent that you don't have the same feelings toward life. He is constantly torn between a life of teenage fun with his buddy Vinny, and a more serious and quiet life practicing medicine.

Critics' reviews

"What appeals to me the most about the show is how the producers were trying to go for realism as opposed to treating the whole thing like a big joke."

Filip Vukcevic: IGN
"The problem is that when you look at this cute kid Doogie in a lab coat, you want to laugh when you shouldn't laugh."

Howard Rosenberg: Los Angeles Times
"Once you get past how impossibly young Neil Patrick Harris looks -- and was -- at the start of 'Doogie Howser, M.D.,' the skein's grownup appeal shines through the teencentric storylines."

Variety
"Yes, plot ideas are rather limited these days."

John J. O'Connor: The New York Times
"The series would have failed instantly if it weren't for the impressive and consistently engaging lead performance from Neil Patrick Harris."

David Nusair: Reel Film
"Although the show is flawed, especially by contemporary television standards, it's still surprisingly sweet."

AV Club
"It can frequently feel heavy-handed... Still, there's no denying the show's good humor and strong performances, which make it eminently watchable even decades later."
