Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the pilot episode of "Doogie Howser, M.D.", which regular teenage rite of passage did we see not-so-regular Doogie attempting to complete?

Answer: His driver's test

Doogie brought along his mom during his driving test, and ended up encountering a traffic accident. Doogie stopped to help an injured bicyclist, which was when we discovered that this very young boy was a doctor.

2. What was Doogie's girlfriend's name?

Answer: Wanda

Ah, Wanda. Janine was Vinnie's on-again, off-again girlfriend Crystal who doesn't exist. Lisa Dean Ryan played Wanda Plenn.

3. Who played Doogie Howser?

Answer: Neil Patrick Harris

Could any of the others have been convincing at all? His first role was in the film "Clara's Heart". Neil went on to play darker roles in several TV films. He also played Doogie again in an episode of "Roseanne" during a dream sequence. His fame went quiet, though he acted quite a bit, until he played an over the top version of himself in the "Harold and Kumar" movies.

This led to his iconic role in the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother", and also film and theatrical success.

4. What medical emergency required Doogie to perform surgery on Wanda?

Answer: Ruptured appendix

It's what everyone would want in the middle of a date to the drive-in movies: acute appendicitis. Good thing Doogie was a doctor, otherwise Wanda might have been a goner. This was in the third episode, "A Stitch Called Wanda".

5. In the episode called "Use a Slurpy, Go to Jail", what was the name of the boy played by Markus Redmond who tried to rob Vinnie's store at gunpoint?

Answer: Raymond

Raymond was merely a teenager looking for gang glory. Doogie and Vinnie ended up befriending him. Later in the series, Raymond returned from jail and sought employment at Doogie's hospital. Markus was in 71 episodes of the series.

6. How did Vinnie typically enter Doogie's bedroom?

Answer: By climbing a tree and going into a window

Don't you love sitcoms where characters practice breaking and entering? Vinnie could almost always be seen climbing in through Doogie's window.

7. What did Vinnie's dad's business specialize in?

Answer: Shower heads

Vinnie and his dad made a stronger connection when Vinnie created a commercial featuring his dad's shower heads.

8. What disease did Doogie have as a child?

Answer: Leukemia

Doogie's experience with leukemia came up a lot over the course of the series, as it often explained why Doogie was such a good doctor with children.

9. What emergency medical procedure did Doogie and his dad perform while on a fishing trip?

Answer: They drilled a hole in a man's head to drain blood from an injury

They used a regular old home repair drill. The man and his family were on a trip from San Diego. James Sikking played Dr. David Howser.

10. What was the name of Doogie's boss at Eastman Medical Center?

Answer: Dr. Canfield

Dr. Canfield took a big risk by hiring a teenager as a resident, and he often found himself having to discipline Doogie. Lawrence Pressman played Dr. Benjamin Canfield in 97 episodes. He later showed up on "Judging Amy" and "Hart of Dixie".
