For the uninitiated: Dr. Katz is a show that ran on Comedy Central from 1995-2002. It's the great predecessor to Home Movies, the excellent Lucy, Daughter of the Devil, and sort of to Bob's Burgers.
The titular Dr. Katz is a therapist for stand-up comedians. All the great alt-comics of the era appear: Emo Phillips, Dave Attell, Ray Romano, etc. They do their act in a normal speaking tone, and Katz chimes in with quips and advice.

That, in itself, is often gold, but often exceeding it are the in-between segments where Katz talks with his son Ben, Friends, and his only employee Laura. It's all improvised.
It's just so good, man. Comfy vibes. Nothing happens in any of the episodes. No one has any goals, no relationships evolve, just friends making each other laugh over lounge jazz.

Anime fans who complain about 'filler' episodes could never. This show is all filler, and I love it so!
 
Vic's video store guy interactions were funny too.
 
Caught my first ever glimpse at this show while seeing it in the dvd section of a thrift store by my aunt's I was looking for the first few family guy seasons but the show's art style caught my eye and I've been wanting to watch it for a LONG while now but forgot until I saw this post! TY for reminding me to start it even though ya' had no way of knowing my insanely specific 3-year old backstory with it!
 
Only knew of it from South Park tbh but I hear it’s pretty good
It's funny, I am the opposite. When I turned 17, I got super into South Park and watched like the entire first ten seasons in a month. I remember the Dr. Katz crossover, but it didn't really strike me as anything more than a wacky early South Park gag.
Years later, I discovered Dr. Katz completely unrelated and went OHHHH when I remembered that bit.
