Marcus Welby, M.D.: Season 1
The Original M.D. Show Finally Comes to DVD
Robert Young plays Dr. Marcus Welby, a dedicated family physician who made house calls a priority in life. From week to week Welby was tasked with some of the most devastating disorders and serious situations an M.D. can face, but confronted them with a fierce honesty and dedicated compassion that made him a virtual superhero with a stethoscope. But he could not do it alone.
Enter Dr. Steven Kiley, portrayed by the strapping and very new James Brolin in his first regular television role. As any doctor will tell you, looks can be deceiving. The show mixed up the common formula, with the older and wiser Welby embracing the unorthodox treatments while the young gun, Kiley, had the straitlaced approach. The chemistry was electric, and the results were positively award-winning, as both actors earned Emmys for their roles.
Marcus Welby, M.D. ran for seven seasons on ABC from 1969 1976, earning it a top spot in the medical drama lexicon and paving the way for such hits as House, M.D..

It's good, but very dated. - Isbn
As amusing as it is to stroll down memory lane (a doctor getting out of bed at 2 am to race to a house call) I felt that the show should almost come with a warning. The sexism, and casual disregard for anything or anyone "different", while positively progressive for the time, is a bit hard to stomach, and episode about the treatment of an Autistic child gave me nightmares. This show received, and deserved, a lot of credit, but unlike "Ironside" and others from the time, Dr. Welby has simply not aged well.Marcus Welby - Bearly
It was nice to see this show again. It is a little slow but still it was very enjoyable. There were only 3 episodes in the package. And I am sure that in the show the nurse was different but maybe I am imagining that. James Brolin just as handsome as I remember him to be. I would suggest this show who remember it from the sixties.
