worth a second look - sarah75
I watched this show when it was first on tv... and while it's a little cheezy, it's worth a second look. In fact, it might be worth watching just to see the huge cel phones and monochromatic computers. lol. Nice family show, and the life lessons are still valid today.A decade before its prime - Ahoy
This show is well written. The medical issues are as accurate and interesting as House, but not expanded as deeply. This is probably caused by its thirty minute time constraint. There are more sexual references than I remember from watching it when it was on-air, making it a definite adult show, not the PG rating I assumed.So much better then I remember! - FluffyV
I used to watch this as a kid (I must have been about 5 when it first came out), I thought it was good then, but I didn't realize how many of the jokes I didn't get at that age. It's actually really funny. It's still a little cheesy, but all in all very good. It's also really nice that the episodes are about 25 minutes each... so if you don't have a lot of time to devote to a movie or even an hour long show, you just pop this baby in. but i have to warn you that you'll probably get addicted to it and end up watching the whole disc in one shot.
