The Doctor is a half-hour American medical anthology series that aired Sunday evenings on the NBC television network from August 24, 1952, until June 28, 1953,[1] with a total of 44 episodes.[2]

The format had the viewer seeing patients "through the eyes of a general practitioner who makes house calls".[3] Hosted by Warner Anderson, the program revolved around emotional problems. Actors who appeared included Anne Jackson, Ernest Truex, Mildred Natwick, and Lee Marvin.[4] Beulah Bondi and Charles Bronson guest-starred in the episode "The Guest" (1952).[5]

The Doctor replaced The Red Skelton Show on Sunday nights. Its competition included The Web on CBS.[6] The program was produced on film[7] by Marion Parsonnet. Some of the films were made in Hollywood, and others were made in New York.[8] When it went into syndication, it was re-titled The Visitor.[9] Robert Aldrich directed 17 episodes, three of which he also wrote.[2] Rod Serling wrote two episodes.[9]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
