Though shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice are very popular today, there are few physicians with a better bedside manner than Marcus Welby, MD — as played by the legendary Robert Young.
Doctor Welby is a dedicated doctor who make house calls and his patients a priority in his life. He’s ably aided by Doctor Steven Kiley (James Brolin), a young physician who knows a lot but still has much to learn from his mentor. They’re aided by their friend and loyal secretary/nurse, Consuelo Lopez (Elena Verdugo).
Marcus Welby, MD ran for seven seasons on ABC before the show ended in 1976. Young reprised his beloved role as Doctor Welby for two reunion movies — The Return of Marcus Welby, MD in 1984 and Marcus Welby, MD: A Holiday Affair in 1988. He was joined by Verdugo in the first one as the aging physician finds himself being forced into retirement. In the second TV movie, he finds a second chance at love in Paris.
Mill Creek has released a DVD set of 10 selected episodes from the first season of Marcus Welby, MD. You can purchase the DVD set

i have been a huge fan of robert young since he was in Father Knows Best–and James brolin was an early crush of mine. Would love to win this!
I love this show! Watched it all the time when I was young, and oh, it’s James Brolin who played Dr. Kiley (had such a crush on him). Josh is his son 😉
Elyse » Thanks for catching that. I was thinking James but typed Josh.
I love these old shows like this I wish tvland would play them instead of all the realty shows or newer sitcoms. I wish they would start showing the classics again.
My mom used to watch this show when I was young. I used to think Dr. Kiley on the motorcycle was cool.
Another show before my time, but looks interesting.
First Entry! : )
Loved Marcus Welby…older shows were so much better than the newer shows.
I used to love this show but I would really like to win this for my friends birthday.
