Marcus Welby, M.D.


You know you're watching the wrong show when the advertisements consist of things like Pat Boone talking about walk-in bathtubs, Medicare supplemental insurance, "Help I've fallen and can't get up," portable oxygen systems and the Scooter Store.

It isn't a stretch - even for the reasonably clueless - to realize the target market for this show.  And let me assure my loyal readers, it isn't me.  A feel-good show from the early 70s helmed by the kindest, most caring doctor imaginable is not the "right stuff" for crusty, crabby curmudgeons.

But, I have to cut this short and scoot - Leave It To Beaver is on next.
