I loved this show as a kid, and I knew I didn't get a lot of the jokes, but still loved it. I can't believe it ran until 2002! I really wanna find and watch this now


Puzzleheaded_Day2809

It's all on YouTube!! I often put it on autoplay and listen to it while I sleep. His voice is quite soothing.


winterof85

Yes! I was hoping it was on there but hadn't looked yet. Thank you!


sofakingclassic

It only “ran” til 2002 bc there was a bonus episode with conan that aired then. I think it was over by 98


winterof85

Ahhh, that makes more sense. I didn't look it up yet, but I remember watching this show during a specific age range lol. Ty!

This show had such binge potential. It had such a strong concept with having the comedians basically lay out sets in a therapy session. I first learned of so many funny & talented people from this show as a child. It was the introduction of H Jon Benjamin for me. Laura Silverman was fantastic and Jonathan Katz is amazing. I watched him later in "Home Movies."


wellpaidscientist

Still one of my favorites of all time and is quoted nearly daily.


SeaOrgChange

I still quote the manatee bit all the time. "Ricki, I can't get laid"


FixEmUpper

Loved this show, especially the ever-insouciant Laura. "Doctor Katz, the patients are trying to talk to me again."


FunArtichoke6167

Laura…? Laura! LAURRRRRAAAAAAA!!!!


Street-Reputation-90

She’s a big-ol-ball-o-bitch

SeaOrgChange

Back when comedy central would run this in those long marathon blocks the squiggles would make me feel sick


anjinash

Ah, my introduction to the comedic genius that is H. Jon Benjamin! This was such a great platform to feature various stand-up comedians of the time to get some of their best material out there. I'd love a "reboot" where Ben is the therapist for today's various comics. Hard to replace Jon Katz, though....


KingOfBerders

That’d be awesome. Benjamin’s voice is hypnotic. When I first saw archer I was wracking my brain where I had heard his voice before. It was like 4-5 episodes before it hit me it was this show.


nightofthelivingace

Same. I ended up rewatching a ton dr Katz after season 1 of Archer.


JohnnieLawerence

We’ve got the meats


sofakingclassic

One of the best shows ever

Manatee!

You don’t have to shift that car, it’s an automatic. Have you been shifting?


wellpaidscientist

The thing about the passing lane is it's not a great place to do all your daydreaming.


schultmh

Mostly I've been honking the horn and going woo WOO at the ladies


Gesundheitler

Which foot are you breaking with?


Prestigious_Dream_27

I’ve been doing that relaxing thing with needles.


Boygunasurf

Hey Doc, I’m going to do better. I’ll brush twice per day, and I’m even going to get some of that string.


transphotobabe

Got back into this show during Covid, after having watched it in my teenage years. Still too notch


JohnCenaJunior

I think this played late night


GhostofAyabe

Cat gets booted across the room. "I was going this way anyways..."


kid_sleepy

“My dad used to smoke… a lot. He tried everything to quit. He tried hypnosis… but it didn’t take. Then he tried that thing… with all the needles… *heroin*… he loves it. Loves it. We can’t get it away from him now.”


Uno_Reverse_Cowgirl

I think about this show every time I’m using Excel when I copy data from cells and the lines around them get all squiggly.


Stabstone

Damn this show takes me back to when Comedy Central was just starting out.


MurphyTheRobocop

Back when Comedy Central had 4 shows and 12 hours of infomercials


PossibleLocation3626

I think I’m having some sort of seizure


ThePopDaddy

In my opinion, this is the best show with this type of animation. Yes, I know about THAT show, but I LOVED this show.


InfidelZombie

Man, that show was hilarious but the animation style drove me bonkers.


Quirky_Ball_3519

Darth Fererra? No, Dom Irrera!


alarmsoundslikewhoop

Dan and Mary?


tacohands_sad

My gf asked who emo Phillips was the other day and I went straight to Dr katz


alarmsoundslikewhoop

If that was Jimmy Peterson, he would’ve grown up too.


Cautious-String7076

Work from home. Make money. These are good things.


bangharder

Great show, too many funny sessions


TheMatt561

Such a clever idea


natelopez53

It’s so weird listening to early Archer/Bob Belcher in these episodes.


PreviousCartoonist93

Most of it is on YouTube..


StunningLeopard2429

I loved this show.


caligator86

The one with Dennis Leary and the darth vader bank is hilarious and lives in my head rent free


Dazzling_Dream_7859

Loved this show


Madbadbat

I know it’s a great show I just can’t look at it for too long


Argular

This show was such a gem. A showcase for late 90s stand up comedy.


tiboldpinkus

never knew this was Sarah Silverman’s sister. but Laura is way better.


trgyou

I had a crush on Laura just like Ben did.


ActiveProgrammer5456

Classic!


wellpaidscientist

YOU shut up and be free!!


waynesangria

The whole goddamn things on YouTube it's amazing I keep shooting myself with laughter it's literally the reason this sub was created


Hollywood_Punk

Gone but it no way forgotten. These clips are still all over the place.


Otherwise-Carpet4444

This made me dizzy


Gutter_Clown

I would kill the see a crossover of this with *Home Movies*


Slyk76

The audible reboot was pretty decent. Too bad didn’t do it too long.


Epwell

This show is unbelievable!!! ❤️ ❤️❤️ The guests on this!!!


tro99viz

Fantastic and completely unforgettable!


Nordeast_Nester

Ever since I found this sub always waited to see this one posted .. indeed greatest show of all time


Accomplished_Pen980

I wish it would come back. For a minute there, Amazon was presenting Dr. Katz as an audible and I listened to every episode, it's so brilliant


Wiserputa52

OMG I loved this show.


Pitiful_Winner2669

Perfect format for comedians to do their material, great side stories. My sister and I LOVED Katz!


Open-Structure-1083

Honestly agree with the title this is one of the greatest shows of all time, and I’ve watched it over and over again. One of those shows when life is shit or I’m feeling like shit I pop in a dvd and just get away


ClownshoesMcGuinty

Excellent show and great writing, with cool guests.


alarmsoundslikewhoop

Dr. Katz! I think I’m falling hard for… Dr. Katz! And even though I know that it ain’t right… every night… it’s me and him in my dreams In my dreams!


waynesangria

It's binge before binge


Agreeable_Code7788

It’s not for everyone - but it was and is for me!


DeepBlue20015

Reboot!


dmc2008

Some of the shows posted on here have surprising runs... You're telling me this was on the air for 7 years?!


Boygunasurf

Not exactly. It was on for about four, then had a special episode a few years later. They’ve also done some live performances which are absolutely excellent. If only they could have gotten Dom Irrera to appear. Those Dom eps were my faves!


ToddPundley

Never noticed it before but Ben Katz really looks like Adam Duritz. Was that on purpose?
