The Practice

1976–1977 · 2 seasons

A gentle, old-fashioned half-hour sitcom that ambles along with mild gags and an avuncular grump at its centre.

Overview: Sitcom about Jules Bedford, a crusty, sometimes grumpy, and somewhat absent-minded old-school doctor with a genuine concern for people.
How it feels: Warm, light, whimsical and earnest. Measured and fine in the background.
About: Work, family, friendship, aging
Content: Mild sexual content. No violence, gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
