The finale of Doogie Howser M.D.

March 24, 1993


TV executives at ABC finally woke up and realized how ridiculous the Steven Bochco/ David E. Kelley series premise was and aired the final episode of Doogie Howser M.D. on this date.

Steven Bochco wanted to to finish the series and write a “final” season, as opposed to ABC’s abrupt cancellation of the show in its fourth season. In it he would have depicted a season-long story arc in which Doogie becomes disillusioned with medicine and in the end, becomes a writer.
