Doctor Doctor Review

Doctor Doctor continues to be plenty of fun. The show isn’t over-the-top funny, but it is the perfect combination of humor and cheesy emotions. Rodger Corser definitely does a good job, as does the rest of the cast. The show might not be a homerun, but it is certainly well worth watching. Thus far, it is very charming and manages to keep me entertained throughout the entire episode. I also appreciate the soundtrack.

This episode scores a 7 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Doctor Doctor right now!
