Going Retro With Dr. Katz and Comedy Central
The Best of Retro ComedyTV!
As one of the classics of the 1990s, Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist was a groundbreaking show that changed the face of animation and comedy. Premiering in 1995, the series features Jonathan Katz and his patients, endlessly struggling with the complexities of life's problems. Dr Katz proved that cartoons didn't just have to be family TV, but could be intelligent, adult jokes for both children and adults.
Today, Comedy Central is reviving Dr. Katz's all-time classic style of comedy with a reimagined version of the show. With its new animation and zany scripts, Dr. Katz is back and better than ever!
For those of you who are not familiar with the show, Dr. Katz is a cartoon doctor who helps his patients work through their problems. He has an odd yet distinct sense of humor, often punctuated with sound-effects and $5 words. His patients come from all types of backgrounds, both fictional and real, and include eccentric housewives, pompous British actors, and a perpetually frazzled mailman.
The show was created by Tom Snyder, and is based on simple, innovative animation. Some of the characters in the show are shown through basic Illustrator-style illustrations, often using little more than circles, squares, and rectangles. The show also sports more complex animation, featuring fishbowl heads and miniature ceilings. This gives the show an interesting range of visual comedy, perfect for any viewer.
One of the stars of the show is Laura-Ann, a show-stealing patient of Dr. Katz. She's a firm believer in the power of positive thinking, and even carries around a list of her own "positive thinking prescriptions." She's an ideal patient for Dr. Katz's lighthearted brand of therapy.
A Perfect Show for Any Viewer
Dr. Katz is the perfect show for people of all ages. Whether you're a fan of the original or just looking for something new to watch, this show is sure to put a smile on your face. With its clever jokes, spot-on comedy, and zany animation, this reimagined classic definitely deserves a spot on your TV list.
