Doogie Kamealoha, M.D
Doogie Kamealoha,
M.D.’s ‘Connection’ to
the Original Series Is
Either Brilliant or
Completely Insane —
You Decide!
Spoiler alert: We’re about to break down the premiere of Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., now available to stream on Disney+.
If you tuned into the premiere of Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. simply to find out how the Disney+ reboot is connected to Doogie Howser, M.D., may we offer you an Advil? Because surely your mind is blown.
The “connection” is revealed early in Episode 1, after a patient expresses some concern over being treated by 16-year-old Dr. Lahela “Doogie” Kamealoha (played by Andi Mack‘s Peyton Elizabeth Lee).
“Remember Doogie Howser, that show from the ’90s?” Dr. Lee (Young Rock‘s Ronny Chieng) asks the patient. “She’s like a real-life Doogie Howser! That’s why we call her Doogie.”
There’s meta, and then there’s this — an unexpected explanation that even takes one of Lahela’s fellow doctors by surprise. “I never made that connection,” admits Dr. Nakayama (Mapuana Makia), to which Dr. Zeller (UnREAL‘s Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman) replies, “Girl, why did you think we called her Doogie?”
And that nickname isn’t the only similarity Lahela shares with Neil Patrick Harris’ iconic character. They both have a passion for logging their personal life lessons, though Lahela’s vlog is certainly more high-tech than Doogie’s white-text-on-a-blue-screen journal. (Sometimes when I close my eyes late at night… I can still hear the typing.)
Where Was ‘Doogie
Kamealoha M.D.’
Shot? Filming
Locations Revealed
Doogie Howser M.D. launched back in 1989, showing a kid doctor making waves while dealing with the trials of life. The story is back, this time with Lahela “Doogie” Kamealoha, in the central role as a teenage doctor
The story has moved to a far sunnier climate, with Doogie and her family surfing, relaxing and enjoying some spam musubi on the beach in Hawaii.
The filming locations for the new Disney+ series Doogie Kamealoha M.D. are a lot more idyllic than those in the original series. Newsweek spoke to the showrunner Kourtney Kang, who talked through the reason behind filming in these places.
