Dr. Katz

Ben: Hey Dad, you're missing this. Dr. Katz: (from the bathroom) You're missing this.

Dr. Katz: I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna go to the bathroom, and when I come back, I'm trusting you not to change the station. Ben: How long are you gonna be? Dr. Katz: I'll be back for the next commercial. Ben: Well take your time. What are you gonna do, one or two? Dr. Katz: I actually was thinking of doing a combo.

Ben: Do you know what the average number of hours people watch TV a day is? Dr. Katz: No, I don't. Ben: Like three-and-a-half hours a day. And I watch ... Dr. Katz: How much do you watch? Ben: I watch considerably more.

Laura: Did you know that most of those nature shows are actually taped in front of a live audience? Dr. Katz: No, I didn't. Laura: They sweeten it up. Dr. Katz: Ha, that's funny. You're in good form today, Laura. Laura: Oh, shut up!

Ben: Do you think TV affects the - influences the way people behave, Dad? Dr. Katz: Yes, I do. Ben: What about me? Do you think I'm a product of what I watch? Dr. Katz: I do. In fact, remember your favorite show when you were a kid? You know which one I'm talking about? Ben: Which one? Dr. Katz: I'm a Big Fat Slug.

Dr. Katz: (on phone) Ben, is that the TV I hear in the background? Ben: Well Dad, it's on, but that doesn't mean I'm watching it. It's just on for atmosphere. Dr. Katz: And then when you're not looking at it, what are you looking at? Ben: My tummy.

Dr. Katz: What do you mean you're in denial about being in therapy? Caroline: I just convinced myself that there's a friend that I see once a week, and that I lend him 150 dollars.

Caroline: Dr. Katz ready? Laura: Uh, no, he's not. Caroline: Okay, you having a good day? Laura: Could you sit over there? Caroline: You know, bossy pants, maybe this isn't the best job for you -- working with people all the time.
