Doogie Howser, M.D.

Doogie Howser, M.D. was a television series starring Neil Patrick Harris as a pre-teen whose genius intellect allowed him to finish high school in nine weeks, graduate Princeton University at age 10, and finish medical school two years later, making him the youngest licensed doctor in the country at age twelve. The series ran on ABC for four seasons, from 1989 to 1993.
