Doc

Dr. Clint "Doc" Cassidy leaves the wide open spaces of Montana to take a job at a community medical clinic in New York City, and the show follows how his small-town habits and faith-based outlook collide with urban life. The series centers on his daily work with patients and co-workers, his role as a steady moral presence, and the family relationships that ripple out from the clinic. Episodes mix medical scenarios with family drama and moments of personal reflection, as Doc balances professional pressures, ethical choices, and the effort to stay true to his values in a very different setting.

Created by Gary R. Johnson and Dave Alan Johnson, Doc premiered on PAX on March 11, 2001 and ran through November 28, 2004. Billy Ray Cyrus headlines as Dr. Clint Cassidy, and though the story is set in New York City, production took place in and around Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The series found a home with viewers who liked family-friendly programming and faith-tinged storytelling, helping PAX reinforce its identity as a network for wholesome shows. It also put a familiar name from music into a leading TV role, and it gave young actors, including Tyler Posey, an early screen credit that some fans notice in retrospect.

Audience response tended to highlight the show's warm tone and moral focus, reflected in a modest user rating around 7.4 out of 10 from a small number of votes. The show consistently returned to themes of compassion, pastoral guidance in an urban environment, and the everyday ethics of medical care, appealing to viewers who preferred earnest, character-driven drama over procedural complexity.

Doc didn't become a major awards contender, and it didn't rack up notable industry trophies, but it sustained multiple seasons on PAX and kept a steady, loyal audience that appreciated its faith-friendly, family-centered approach.
