Robert Young plays Dr. Marcus Welby, a dedicated family physician who made house calls a priority in life. From week to week Welby is tasked with some of the most devastating disorders and serious situations an M.D. can face, but confronts them with a fierce honesty and dedicated compassion that makes him a virtual superhero with a stethoscope.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our revival of this classic drama, which will conclude its run on Friday, Aug. 26. Watch for the wonderful return of the beloved family series, Little House on the Prairie on Thursday, Sept. 1 at 4pm ET/1pm PT.

But he can’t do it alone. Enter Dr. Steven Kiley, portrayed by the strapping and very new James Brolin in his first regular television role. As any doctor will tell you, looks can be deceiving. The show mixes up the common formula, with the older and wiser Welby embracing the unorthodox treatments while the young gun, Kiley, has the straitlaced approach. The chemistry is electric, and the results were positively award-winning, as both actors earned Emmys for their roles.
