Everyone needs a good doctor, even fictional characters. The medical drama first became popular in the Sixties, as soap operas (General Hospital, The Doctors) and primetime series (Medical Center, The Bold Ones: The New Doctors) saw the story potential in hospitals.
But doctors could be found everywhere, from Dodge City to Federation starships. There were memorable medical professionals on sitcoms, sci-fi, and beyond.
Test your knowledge of TV trivia! It's easier than passing the MCAT.
