A Salute to My Youth and Doogie Howser, MD

I admit it – I had the BIGGEST crush on NPH’s character Doogie Howser when I was a kid. He was everything 13-year old me wanted in a boy. He was brainy, cute, and had a computer (which I could only dream about for another 10 years).

Two decades later, I am still a fan of Neil Patrick Harris. I adore How I Met Your Mother. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was a definite highlight of 2008. It’s only right, that things have come full circle.

In Saturday night’s Digital Short, NPH and the entire SNL cast paid tribute to Doogie Howser, MD in an elaborate orchestral rendition of the theme song. For a brief moment, I recaptured my youth, and giggled like a 13-year old. In case you missed it, here’s the clip:

Brilliance!  Thanks for the trip down memory lane, NPH and SNL!  You made my weekend.
