Just thought, wow, isn’t it funny? So many! (None of them women, though!) Let me mention the name of the TV series and link to some info on that. Here are these grumpy yet lovable TV doctors!
Becker Actor: Ted Danson playing a white atheist doctor, and a smoker, working in The Bronx. The two nurses he’s got are great. And then there’s some more interesting characters at the diner where they meet.
Northern Exposure Actor: Rob Morrow playing a New Yorker who’s sent to Nowhere Land to set up his doctor’s office. Some secondary actors are very interesting, at least, unknown prototypes in Spain! They include two Indian characters, his nurse and a very handsome boy who is mad about movies! Then there’s an ex astronaut, and a woman pilot whose boyfriends keep dying, and an anarchist old lady who is really witty! You should watch it some day. It’s kind of different for us in Spain.
House - well, you probably know about this one. Funnily enough, the main character, Hugh Laurie, is British, so if you’ve got him in the British TV series he took part in “A bit of Fry & Laurie“, you’ll be able to compare his accents, because in “House” he uses a US American accent! Watch this wonderful YouTube interview on US TV!
All of them are mavericks and grumpy as hell!

The 6 episodes of this documentary are about the development of human intelligence from 0 to 2 years old. We cannot get the DVD yet because it’s only for Region 1 (America), but Canal+ showed it years ago and then you can find it on the Net.
The episodes are: To Walk, To Talk, To Relate, To Belong, To Feel, To Think.
At Talking People there are some activities for the episode “To Belong”
