Dr. Ken
The gloves are coming off.
Created by John Fox, Ken Jeong, Jared Stern
On ABC
A workplace and family sitcom built on the collision between a brilliant but tactless doctor and the people who love him despite his flaws.
Dr. Ken is a brilliant physician with no bedside manner. He is always trying to be a good doctor, as well as a good husband and dad to his two kids. However, these good intentions have a way of driving everyone crazy at both work and at home. Luckily, his therapist wife Allison is just the right partner to keep things sane.
