A warm, optimistic sitcom-drama hybrid that finds comedy and heart in the collision between a teenage prodigy's professional competence and his ordinary adolescent life.

Doogie Howser is a doctor. He is also a 16-year-old genius who graduated college at age 10 and finished medical school at age 14. But he is still a teenager, with normal teenage friends and problems. But unlike a normal teenager, he is just learning to drive while also consulting on serious medical cases like heart transplants.
