Yuri Z, M.D.

Yes, TCM is showing the sweeping communist revolution drama Doctor Zhivago this evening. I have seen a few hours at a time of this movie, but I’ve never made it through the whole thing. But you know, this movie is about a sensitive doctor who cares deeply about people in a time of political upheaval, and as such he is a heroic character. And since Obamacare is such a deeply divisive issue here in America, and it’s supported by the liberal Hollywood establishment, why not create a new medical drama TV show with a caring character helping all the repressed uninsured in America, and call it: “Yuri Z, M.D.”?

Yes, it’s Doctor Zhivago in California! And he’ll treat anyone for anything, so long as they’re uninsured! Plus, he’s married to a rich Republican woman who despises and derides the poor, and although that’s where he gets the money to run his clinic, he hates her and falls in love with a young rabble-rousing socialist nurse who pushes for all liberal causes. And despite all his good works, he still gets victimized by the local Democratic government establishment because he’s rich. So essentially it would be Doctor Zhivago in a current American climate of political division and revolutionary anti-government sentiment. And I’ll bet it would be a hit, too!

You know you want to see it: Call your local TV provider and demand Yuri Z, M.D.!
