Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I was a big fan of this show from the first episode. Back in the early 70's, everyone wished they had a doctor like Marcus Welby. The way he treated patients and took a interest in their personal lives is what made the show so good. I think it was one of the first medical programs that dealt with serious medical issues and took a realistic approach in each show. One of my favorite episodes was about a small boy with autism, something that was just not talked about 35 years ago. Today, the family doctor is just about extinct with managed care and HMO's. Marcus Welby, M.D. reminds us of the good old days. I think the time has come to get these shows out in DVD so we can get to enjoy them all over again.

I wonder if anyone remembers an episode entitled "Fun and games and Michael Ambrose"? It starred a young David Cassidy, before his fame on the Partridge Family.I hope I'm not the only one who remembers this show. Personally, I thought that he was a fine dramatic actor. I liked him as Keith Partridge, but I would have liked to see him pursue a more dramatic line of acting.Long ago and far away, but I thought it was a really good episode.Does anyone have an idea of how to get this old TV series on DVD? I would love to get this series and several other 60's TV shows on DVD or even VHS.

This episode focused on the diagnoses of breast cancer in two women, played by Elaine Giftos and Pamela Hensley, the latter of whom was one of the 'stock' players (actors who appeared in frequent episodes on the series. Miss Hensley later played Dr. Kiley's wife).The episode was, in my opinion, time-sensitive, in that at the time of its airing, the wives of two public political figures were going through their diagnoses of breast cancer.The most motivational moment of this episode is James Brolin's emerging from character to talk about diagnostic and early-detection tools for breast cancer. Such is the hallmark of television that is not only entertaining but informative.

Before there was "St. Elseware","Doogie Howser,M.D.","ER", and "Chicago Hope", there was Marcus Welby,M.D.It was a TV show from 1969-1976, starring the late Robert Young (Father Knows Best) as a Southern California doctor with Dr. Steven Kiley (James Brolin) with Consuelo the nurse (Elena Verdugo).It was a TV classic.I give it *****.
