Doc - Season 1

As said in title, thoroughly enjoyed. Wish I could find the other seasons as I am watching season 1 for the third time now.

I love this series, can you please bring the rest of the series? Pretty please!!

I don't know what to say. This was the best series on television. The technical quality may not be quite like Law and Order or other major network shows (though it wasn't noticeably bad), but the writing is outstanding.This is a tear-jerker series. Beware: you'll really get involved with the characters. The show promotes family values to the core. Not a single episode had a single thing that might be considered objectionable. This is cleaner than some G-rated Disney movies.The premise is that Clint Cassidy, a country doctor from Montana, moved to New York City to pursue his relationship with a journalist who had stayed in Montana with him. He begins work at a Manhattan HMO, complete with rules, regulations and politics -- things he's not used to. While Cassidy (played by Billy Ray Cyrus of "Achy Breaky Heart" fame) brings a fresh air of humanity to the otherwise impersonal HMO, there's some troubles along the way as he adjusts to his new life and the new way of doing things.Like in any series, season one is a little on the cheesy side, but it's nonetheless charming. The characters develop much more fully in later seasons, but season one definitely explains a lot of the things that experiences in later episodes are based on.Unfortunately, the series was canceled in season 5. The foreign distributor pulled funding (it was filmed in Toronto) and they had to stop making episodes.After I watched the series finale, I wrote the following letter to the cast (I don't know if they ever received it). I'd like to share it here just to show you how much the show meant to me and how it'll grab you as well!(Spoiler warning)Dear Doc cast and crew,The series finale. Wow. I can't believe it's already here. When I saw the ad, I thought it said "Season Finale." I thought that the middle of December was an odd place to take a season break.As I watched the last episode, I found myself getting teared up as I realized that not only was the season ending but the show was ending as well, and I'm not a really emotional person. I feel like I've become a part of your family, and seeing you all say goodbye made me feel like I was leaving, too. At the end of that scene, I was literally crying a river. They were tears of joy -- finally, Clint and Nancy were coming together (I had been relentlessly cheering that subplot on for the better part of the last season) -- but also tears of sorrow. I will be missing you guys and your characters as much as you will be missing each other. You all have become like family to me as your struggles and victories, your emotions and your lives been mine. You have built a powerful emotional bond between us and you.Thank you Billy Ray, Andrea, Derek, Ron, Richard, Tracy, Tyler, Paula, Ruth and all the others who have made this show the truly unique thing that it is. While I am truly sad to see you go, I wish you all the best in each of your pursuits.May the characters you've played and lived over the last five seasons live on in your and everybody's hearts. As you have taught us to do, treasure each and every moment as a gift from God as he writes the story of your lives. And like Clint said, I can't wait to read the next chapter!Truly yours,ChrisP.S. Make sure you guys do a Doc reunion show!

Sadly otbos not CC or English subtitled

This is one of those rare tv series where you are entertained and if you aren't careful you might just learn a thing or two about life along the way. I was never much of a fan of Billy Ray Cirus before I saw this show. Now, I am a huge fan. The quality of the episodes is just terrific. In fact, the only flaw to this set is that it wasn't quickly followed by season 2 and so on..... That still puzzles me.This is one the whole family can sit down together and watch without having to explain objectionable material to the kids. That's more and more rare these days. Get this one. You won't be disappointed. It's top notch. The simplicity of the message is very refreshing and the show has a very positive message without being preachy. It's just good clean entertainment.I was excited to see it on DVD and bought an extra set to give as a gift. Give one to someone you care about. They will thank you for it, over and over.

This series, peppered with faith, humor, and touching stories, stars Billy Ray Cyrus as a doctor who travels from his practice in small town Montana to New York. Taking a job in the big city, however, is no easy task for the cowboy who sees the good in people and always makes time for those in need of help. A small town girl myself, I can only imagine how a move might make a huge impact on someone unaccustomed to city life.Viewers find themselves growing attached to the characters, who seem to come to life as they wrestle with everyday problems. Great lessons abound, including discussion of topics such as humility, greed, selfishness, putting others first, and the importance of faith no matter what our chosen profession. To me, this is one of the best series ever produced (I loved it almost as much as Sue Thomas, F.B. Eye). It is great for the entire family and contains nothing objectionable. My only question is...when are they going to bring Season 2 to DVD?! I am proud to add this movie to my Mom-Approved movie listing on my Wordpress blog.

I don't think there will ever be a quality project like Doc. It is a series that just makes you tear up and just feel good at the end. The optimism and not being afraid to invoke strong Christian values was such a breath of fresh air. I was so saddened to see it end and am equally saddened that only season one is available. I thought I had hit the jack pot when I saw someplace that sold the entire series only to find that it was bootlegged over the air from some place in Asia. Poor quality. I'd like to see them put out of business and I would gladly purchase the remaining seasons if they'd just put them out. Is there anyway we can influence the powers that be to put out the rest of the seasons? They would be truly blessed if they did. I just fell in love with all the cast, even Dr. Crane ;-)

This series was very enjoyable and easy to watch with no sex, no profanity and no out-of-control violence. Good wins over evil. Good character is modeled and good values, like honesty, loyalty, and perseverance are demonstrated. Each story is interesting. We looked forward to watching each episode. With all the pain that there is in the world, we so much appreciated the focus on compassion and understanding. It was wonderful to be uplifted and encouraged after viewing each story. Our one disappointment is that Season 2 and the rest that follow have not been put on DVD for purchasing. We hope that one day we'll discover that this has been done!

I was under the impression that I was receiving all 88 episodes of DOC. However, it was only the first 14. Would love to have the entire series since I missed many when they were originally on because I was working. I particularly enjoyed the summary quotes at the end of each episode as seen on TV which gave me much to reflect on and apply to my life. Very, very worthwhile for any library and family viewing. Longing for more......

Well, I just received the Doc Season 1 and am thoroughly enjoying it. I'm not a religious person, yet still enjoyed the show. Not having watched the program from the beginning, it is good to see the who, what, when and whys of the show. The character development is good, story lines are sensitive, hopeful and funny. We know there's a lot of bad 'stuff' out there, but how nice to see a program where the entire family can enjoy it. I don't know how many seasona there were but would be interested in purchasing the remainder. You must understand, I have NEVER purchased a TV series before so this is important! For Paxon Entertainment and Venture Distribution, please seriously consider putting together the remainder of the series - perhaps one a year?!? Thanks, K

Bought as gift and watched without any issues. DVD does what it is supposed to do.

I was very happy to get this first season, wish they had other seasons too. Just a little pricy $50 for 1 season, 3 dvds only, 9hrs. ☹️

Bought this as a gift. Recipient absolutely loved it. Would like to get the next season, appears not readily available.
