My Grandson, the Doctor was a Singaporean English-language sitcom.[1] It starred Nicholas Lee, Jacintha Abisheganaden, Michelle Goh, Susan Quah, Neo Swee Lin, Jasmin Samat Simon and Koh Chieng Mun.[2] [3]
For his performance in the series, Samat won the Best Actor award for the comedy/light entertainment category at the Asian Television Awards in 1997.[4]
Carol Leong of The New Paper wrote that "Devotees of TCS sitcoms will enjoy the faintly absurd scenarios, the local humour and the sight of Jacintha playing it matronly."[5]
Ong Sor Fern of The Straits Times wrote that the series has an "annoying share of well-educated actors trying to speak street English", and is "much too insipid to inspire many memories."[6]
