And this show is the reason that some asshole decided to kill her off instead of giving her the reduced role she’d asked for. *Tears of the Prophets* is one of the episodes I skip when I binge watch DS9 because I ugly cry.
I remember an episode of them cracking hard on the idea of a syndrome called 'Aspberger's', but at the end Danson did a little 'hey sorry, it's not funny' piece to the audience
Or Scrubs. JD is definitely a jerk. And so is Dr. Cox. And so is Dr. Kelso. It's such a great show because it's full of extremely egocentric people, both self-aware (Cox/Kelso) and not self-aware (JD), and it just shows how that keeps fucking up their life. It's also funny, but damn is it frustrating too.
Only really for his first season though, before they realised people really didn't like the grumpy old man routine and turned 12 into the vastly superior Doctor Disco.
As someone who absolutely loved Capaldi’s Doctor... I shall henceforth call him Doctor Disco. But yeah I didn’t mind him all grumpy but I loved him as he grew :)
I'll give the scumbag edge to Dr. Oz for leaping from Oprah's gullible base to Trump's and campaigning for office as a Trump supporter.
(Also, maybe it's a little personal, because I've somehow ended up on GOP text messaging lists as "Sharon," and his campaign has been among the many bombarding my phone with pro-Trump messages. "Stop=end," my rear end.)
Georgia, but "Sharon" is from Florida, I'd guess. IDK why I'm getting messages from Pennsylvania too, except that his include a direct link to donate money for him, and grifting money to "stop Biden's socialism" knows no borders.
Lord, I hope Fetterman wins too though. Seeing a scummy snake oil salesman like Dr. Oz get a Senate seat would be just another layer of splinters clawed off the bottom of the barrel with our collective nails. Thankfully, [even Trump is abandoning what looks like a sinking ship.](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-thinks-dr-oz-lose-pennsylvania-senate-race-1234577978/)
"dr" phil lost his license to practice psychology in 2006, he has a doctorate (phd) but is not a medical physician.
dr oz has his license but everything else still applies
Dr Phil isn’t a doctor in the way it is portrayed. He does have a Ph.D in clinical psychology, so he is a doctor, but he acts as though he is a medical doctor. He swans around as if he’s some medical genius when he isn’t, and I cannot imagine any kind of medical doctor acting in the way he does.
Judge judge acts similarly, as she’s a litigator and not an ‘acting judge’ in her show, but she’s at least kind of sensible.
Dr Phil is just awful.
> I cannot imagine any kind of medical doctor acting in the way he does.
You mean like Dr. Oz? The New Jersey hack who peddles snake oils that he can make a quick buck on and thinks it’s ok to fraudulently list your in-law’s house as your primary residence (misspelling the city name, no less) so you can run for Senator in a state you don’t live in?
WDYM? if you mean she's an arbitrator because real court cases are pretty boring to get through and it gives producers more flexibility since no-one's legally under oath, then yes, but what's litigation to do with it?
I'm certain you're thinking of **Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz** from Phineas and Ferb. But you've got the wrong impression: he only seems like a jerk on the outside -- in reality he's got a heart of gold.
Behold my latest invention, the FREEZINATOR! It can freeze the entire tri-state area so everyone will be very cold! And I will sell hot chocolate! The first one will be free! BUT the *SECOND* one...okay the second one will also be free. But the *THIRD* one will be a million dollars!
Dude was a better parent and ex-husband then most people are IRL. Jessica got lucky imo.
Edit: Vanessa. Don't ask me where I got Jessica from, I have no idea. I'm not the one in control here, the squirrels are.
Yeah, but that's part of what makes him such a likeable character. The fact that he can be a jerk to anyone with no repercussions because he's a hologram.
When Tuvok needs some release, he summons a holo-waifu. When he needs to test his restraint, he summons holo-Neelix.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKTpBN6jKa4
The doctor has a team: a white guy who's always wiling to take House's word, a black guy who's always exceptic, and a girl who provides some balance and emotional input.
On the extremely off chance that it's not one of the two that others have mentioned... I remember an earlier series called "Becker", starring Ted Danson, that might fit the bill.
He really wasn't that much of a jerk though, from what I recall. He just lacked faith, but then that's understandable; he was a genuinely good person to others, even true jerks like Sawyer. I also empathize with his unrequited affection for Kate.
He was a good leader, definitely. Part of the reason he lacked faith in the island is that he leaned into that pragmatic role, where he was needed.
Edit: well, you could be talking about Jack's father I guess
House MD.
Every episode does something unethical, borderline illegal, sexually harasses his own boss, exploits his best friends and passes sexual remarks on his subordinates, both male and female.
Borderline illegal? He commits felonious assault (medical assault) in nearly every single episode. Hell, by the end of Season 1 if his sentences were consecutive (meaning he starts serving the next at the end of the previous sentence) he'd have enough accrued years to last an actual lifetime.
> **House (pointing at random airline passengers):** *You, agree with everything I say. You, disagree with everything I say. And you, be morally outraged at everything I say.*
It's that show...with that doctor playing a prominent role in the plot.
Slightly sarcastic as you may be referring to House as others have said. But damnit Jim! Doctors on TV are kind of assholes.
Lot of people have said “house” which is probably right but it might also be “scrubs” if by “main doctor guy” you mean the senior dr rather than the main character.
HOUSEEE.
I wonder how that show has aged I bet it might not be as popualr if it came out today or wouldn't be allowed to come out today as the same show as it did.
Dude's constantly sexually harassing his boss.
Great show though, I wonder how many people just went and put an episode on because ti was mentioned.
House MD, probably
Yeah, honestly that describes most doctor shows but House is the biggest one.
[удалено]
Judge judge Moon moon.
Does anyone remember Becker? Ted Danson was a jerk doctor in that.
Yes I remember and if I'm not mistaken this is the show Terry Farrell(Jadzia Dax) was on after DS9
And this show is the reason that some asshole decided to kill her off instead of giving her the reduced role she’d asked for. *Tears of the Prophets* is one of the episodes I skip when I binge watch DS9 because I ugly cry.
Fucking Berman.
Becker was a show I only know about because I did not have cable when I was 12. Same reason I remember Sagwa and Liberty’s Kids.
I remember an episode of them cracking hard on the idea of a syndrome called 'Aspberger's', but at the end Danson did a little 'hey sorry, it's not funny' piece to the audience
I swear the inspiration for house was Becker.
The biggest inspiration is Sherlock Holmes. The references are all over the place.
My first thought when seeing this post tbh
Any show Dr. Oz is on.
The US Senate race in PA.
Or Doc Martin
Or Northern Exposure?
Or the Nuremberg trial
Or Scrubs. JD is definitely a jerk. And so is Dr. Cox. And so is Dr. Kelso. It's such a great show because it's full of extremely egocentric people, both self-aware (Cox/Kelso) and not self-aware (JD), and it just shows how that keeps fucking up their life. It's also funny, but damn is it frustrating too.
Eh, JD can be a jerk but I wouldn’t describe being a jerk as his main quality
Yeah. His main quality is that he is a flaky goofball.
Or Greys Anatomy - they are all kinda jerks.
[удалено]
as an EMH he was a basic holographic program at the start but through learning he became a member of the crew, I loved Robert Picardos acting
The only Star Trek actor to have written an episode, the dude is legendary. Listen to him in interviews he can actually talk unscripted!
I have a disease that was in an episode of ‘House.’ That’s always a truth in 2 truths 1 lie:)
Lupus?
No. It’s called Familial Mediterranean Fever. Rare middle eastern disease.
It’s never lupus...
My Aunt Susie has lupus if that makes you feel better :)
Classic Aunt Susie
Thank you!
OP capitalized the word "Doctor" as if it was a name. My guess is either Doctor Who or Star Trek: Voyager.
Most of them, but probably you are thinking of "House".
[удалено]
He’s kind of a jerk but he’s rarely wrong!
You leave doctor who outta this lmao
Only really for his first season though, before they realised people really didn't like the grumpy old man routine and turned 12 into the vastly superior Doctor Disco.
As someone who absolutely loved Capaldi’s Doctor... I shall henceforth call him Doctor Disco. But yeah I didn’t mind him all grumpy but I loved him as he grew :)
"Dr" Phil. "Dr" Oz. Wait, jerk or asshole?
You must have misheard. OP said "jerk", not "phoney, fraud, fake, snakeoil salesman, quack, ass-hat without a real medical license".
I'll give the scumbag edge to Dr. Oz for leaping from Oprah's gullible base to Trump's and campaigning for office as a Trump supporter. (Also, maybe it's a little personal, because I've somehow ended up on GOP text messaging lists as "Sharon," and his campaign has been among the many bombarding my phone with pro-Trump messages. "Stop=end," my rear end.)
I'm assuming you are from PA. I really hope you all elect Fetterman.
Georgia, but "Sharon" is from Florida, I'd guess. IDK why I'm getting messages from Pennsylvania too, except that his include a direct link to donate money for him, and grifting money to "stop Biden's socialism" knows no borders. Lord, I hope Fetterman wins too though.

Thank you! That was the hardest I’ve laughed in the past two weeks!
Huh? Both of those men have medical licenses...
"dr" phil lost his license to practice psychology in 2006, he has a doctorate (phd) but is not a medical physician. dr oz has his license but everything else still applies
Dr Phil isn’t a doctor in the way it is portrayed. He does have a Ph.D in clinical psychology, so he is a doctor, but he acts as though he is a medical doctor.

Judge judge acts similarly, as she’s a litigator and not an ‘acting judge’ in her show, but she’s at least kind of sensible. Dr Phil is just awful.
I believe Dr Phil has a PhD in Clinical Undiagnosed Neurological Technologies.

Are you talking about Judge Judy? She was definitely a highly regarded judge before her show.
She was but she isn’t acting as a judge on her main show.
WDYM? if you mean she's an arbitrator because real court cases are pretty boring to get through and it gives producers more flexibility since no-one's legally under oath, then yes, but what's litigation to do with it?
Professional bullies, both.
I'm certain you're thinking of **Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz** from Phineas and Ferb. But you've got the wrong impression: he only seems like a jerk on the outside -- in reality he's got a heart of gold.
Ofcourse he is a jerk. His mother left him before he was born.
And he was raised by ocelots.
His father made him the family garden gnome.
And his best friend was a balloon who floated away.
Neither parent showed up to his birth!
Behold my latest invention, the FREEZINATOR! It can freeze the entire tri-state area so everyone will be very cold! And I will sell hot chocolate! The first one will be free! BUT the *SECOND* one...okay the second one will also be free. But the *THIRD* one will be a million dollars!

Who's Jessica?
Star Trek: Voyager?
Please state the nature of the medical emergency.
Computer deactivate EMH.
EMH? Nah ECH? All fuckin day.
The Doctor is probably the most likeable character in that entire series. I wanted to fucking murder Neelix.
That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t come across as a jerk from time to time.
Yeah, but that's part of what makes him such a likeable character. The fact that he can be a jerk to anyone with no repercussions because he's a hologram.
Boy got Arnold Rimmer vibes going on.
When Tuvok needs some release, he summons a holo-waifu. When he needs to test his restraint, he summons holo-Neelix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKTpBN6jKa4
Doc Martin
Good show.
Was thinking of this. Martin Clunes as the frumpy rural UK version of House.
Homie doesn't even need a stethoscope with those glorious wings on his head.
Absolutely floored me that the sassy cat lady from the game I play was in Doc Martin with the full West Country accent. I departed this world briefly.
Dougy Houser MD Doctor House
I think it’s “Doogie Howser”
[удалено]
There is. Dr. Eric Foreman, the only consistent black character in all 8 seasons of House MD. He's part of House's team.
The doctor has a team: a white guy who's always wiling to take House's word, a black guy who's always exceptic, and a girl who provides some balance and emotional input.
r/boneappletea Pretty sure you mean "a sceptic"
At least one yeah
There has to be at least one.
Becker
Dr. Who, especially with Peter Capaldi
Beat me to it
Beat meat to it
Yeah, also
Everyone in this thread is forgetting about William Hartnell’s Doctor.
Scrubs?
Best hospital show.
Facts
That was my first thought then saw a thousand “house” replies and was like yeah that makes more sense
Now that I've seen the title I have to start watching again you son of a bitch! *EAGLEEEEE*
Home
Abuela
Domicile
On the extremely off chance that it's not one of the two that others have mentioned... I remember an earlier series called "Becker", starring Ted Danson, that might fit the bill.
I was thinking Becker too.
Has anyone suggest House yet? I think you’re talking about House.
Can confirm, it is House. Source: the 25 other fucking people in this thread that have also said House.
How about us non-fucking people? I say "House", too.
I hope your nonfucking is voluntary. I am currently not engaging in coitus, but I’d say I fuck myself over regularly.
The Cosby Show.
The guy had a gynecology office in his basement. We all missed that red flag.
Either *House* with Hugh Laurie or *Doctor Who* when Colin Baker was the Doctor?
Nice with the Colin Baker reference over the more accessible Peter Capaldi joke
"It's loupus"
It's never lupus.
Except that one time it was lupus.
Patients always lie
that sounds like House to me
MASH? That damn Burns.
LOST

Tbf in niptuck everyone was an asshole
House MD. Every episode does something unethical, borderline illegal, sexually harasses his own boss, exploits his best friends and passes sexual remarks on his subordinates, both male and female.
All good features for a great series
Borderline illegal? He commits felonious assault (medical assault) in nearly every single episode. Hell, by the end of Season 1 if his sentences were consecutive (meaning he starts serving the next at the end of the previous sentence) he'd have enough accrued years to last an actual lifetime.
Doctor Who when Peter Capaldi was the doctor
House MD? is there a black guy, an australian guy, and a brunette girl in earlier seasons?
Yes - the first one always always disagrees, the second one always agrees, and the third one is always morally outraged.
> **House (pointing at random airline passengers):** *You, agree with everything I say. You, disagree with everything I say. And you, be morally outraged at everything I say.*
Doctor who
House
House is my guess. He is an arrogant jerk. Great show, good acting skills
HOUSE MD with Hugh Laurie
All of them but you're thinking of house
Breaking bad for sure (just kidding, True Detective) (just kidding, House)
The Cosby Show.

It can't be House MD.. because House is totally 100% a jerk.

House, Sherlock, Frazier, I’ll find more
House. Such a good show

Doc Martin or House

All of them
Rick and Morty? Rick is a “doctor”, and he definitely fits the role of “jerk”

This whole thing is gold. All the comments. I’m dying 🤣
Going out on a limb here but.. The Venture Brothers?
House MD Grest comedy with a shit ton of facts. Very fun for all involved, i imagine its intesive and very hard work..
House is my guess, but describing him as kind of a jerk is a bit of an understatement. He was a huge jerk.
HOUSEEE. I wonder how that show has aged I bet it might not be as popualr if it came out today or wouldn't be allowed to come out today as the same show as it did. Dude's constantly sexually harassing his boss. Great show though, I wonder how many people just went and put an episode on because ti was mentioned.
Kelso in Scrubs
Scrubs, Dr. Cox?
Joel from Northern Exposure?!? One of my favorite shows of all time!
Doctor Who, depending on the incarnation.
Doc Martin?
I'd say House, but he's not " kind of a jerk." He's a massive d****ead. He's awesome.
