Disney+ released the opening title sequence for Doogie Kameāloha, M.D., the reboot of the classic late '80s-early '90s series Doogie Howser, M.D.
The sequence features the familiar tune fans of the original show will instantly recognize, albeit played on a ukelele to fit in with the show's Hawaiian setting.
The new 10-episode iteration of Doogie follows a mixed-race 16-year-old named Lahela "Doogie" Kameāloha and is set in modern-day Hawaii. "Doogie, Howser MD is beloved by everyone at our studio, so we knew that if we were going to reinvent it for a new generation, we had to have both the blessing and participation of the Bochcos and a creator with a fresh, new take that made us lean in," 20th Television President Carolyn Cassidy said when the series was ordered. "Kourtney [Kang]’s vision for the character is so inspired, we’ve been dying to collaborate with Melvin and Jake again, and Disney+ is exactly the right home for this idea. We couldn’t be more excited."
The original Doogie Howser, M.D. starred Neil Patrick Harris and ran for four seasons on ABC from 1989-1993. The reboot is written by Kourtney Kang, who executive produces the project with Jake Kasdan, Melvin Mar and Dayna and Jesse Bochco.
Doogie Kameāloha, M.D. stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee in the title role. The series premieres Sept. 8 on Disney+.
