Editorial Review:
An unusual feature of Dr Katz is the novel animation technique called Squigglevision whereby essentially there is no lateral movement by any of the characters or objects with only lips eyes and the like animated. However the edges of the characters are in a constant state of zigzagging flux and this gives the impression of movement.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097368509344 Manufacturer No: 850934
In its 13 episodes, Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist: Season Two shows that not much has changed in the life of mild-mannered psychologist Dr. Katz (voiced by comic actor Jonathan Katz). His grown-up, loser son, Ben (H. Jon Benjamin), continues to spend his days inching toward one or another imagined destiny, absolutely dependent on his tolerant if frustrated dad, yet resentful that the elder Katz advises him on his idiotic quests to nowhere. Meanwhile, Katz's professional life remains a succession of loony sessions with the likes of Ray Romano, Janeane Garofalo, Joy Behar, Emo Phillips, Steven Wright, and Garry Shandling. Nothing has changed about the appalling work ethic of receptionist Laura (Laura Silverman), who pilfers office supplies, ties up every phone line on personal business, and rebuffs Ben's daily efforts to impress her with one or another claim to his uniqueness.
"Bystander Ben" finds the eponymous goofball quoted in a local newspaper as a fully-identified witness to a crime. Convinced he's riding a wave of media fame, Ben misses the big picture: the yet-to-be-captured criminals can identify him. In "Real Estate," Ben considers finding an apartment of his own, leaving such minor details as a lack of income for later consideration. "Glasses" features Dr. Katz in an unusually narcissistic mode, trying to update his personal appearance with a hip pair of reading glasses that make his face look like it's in a fishbowl. "Drinky the Drunk Guy" is a very funny episode in which Ben confronts his father in the most obnoxious terms about what he perceives as Dr. Katz's drinking problem. "A Journey for the Betterment of People" and "ESP" are also great Ben-centric tales, the former concerning Ben's sudden desire to save prostitutes from a life of exploitation, and the latter about his strong belief that he suddenly has the power to read minds. ("Can you read my mind?" the disgusted Laura asks.) An excellent set. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Dr Katz Professional hilarity
This is without a doubt the funniest and sharpest piece of entertainment to be created for any forum in such a long time,that it deserves a genre defining lounge of it's own.
The interplay between Dr Katz and his son Ben is a show within itself.
All of the patients do what we all do but actually bring it to life,with their observations and views that come straight from their frontal lobes,they are in no way supressed and live the inner life out in the open,which makes for startlingly ... Read More
Rating: - Brilliant, funny, addictive.
At the risk of repeating myself, this series is brilliant, funny and addictive. I think I speak for all of us here (on planet earth at least) when I plaintively ask .......... WHEN is Series three going to be released on DVD?????
Rating: - A Must for Katz Fans - any anyone else with a sense of humor
Is there really any episode of Dr. Katz that does NOT deserve a five-star review? The idea alone - presenting stand-up comedy within a plot - is awesome. But this particular DVD scores big for two reasons: the Ben stories are great (love the witness to crime and saving prostitutes features), and there is finally a decent amount of episodes on here (13). Wonderful, sublte humor: great for anyone who doesn't need canned laughter to know when something is funny.
Rating: - There has got to be more
I now have season 1 and season 2, and love them both. I can remember episodes that are not included on these 2 DVDs so there must be at least one more coming. I hope it's soon.
Rating: - So glad this is on DVD now
Anyone who likes Adult Swim's Home Movies and stand-up comedy will love Dr. Katz. When this show was on Comedy Central, I tapped it and am so glad it finally came out on dvd.
