Dr. Katz

Pretzelkins

Season 1, Episode 2, Aired 6/4/95

Episode Summary

The first couple episodes had much more random discussion than did the ones that followed. "Pretzelkins" typifies it. The unifying theme is that Katz feels a bit of a malaise in his life. Julie thinks it's because he deals with unhappy people all day long; Stanley thinks he needs a little "you know." Katz asks Ben to drive Grandpa to the urologist, and "remind him to put his pants back on."''''''Ray Romano and Wendy Liebman are the patients this week.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Dr. Katz asks Ben to "bring" his father to the urologist; he should have said "take" his father to the urologist. Edit
- When discussing treating people who are only mildly depressed, Dr. Katz refers to them as "borderline." In psychiatric terms, "borderline" has a very specific meaning (characterized by things such as inappropriate rage, self-injurious behavior, and unstable relationships). It is unlikely that a mental health professional would use that specific term to describe the mildly depressed. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- If the first episode established that Ben is a loser, this episode establishes that Katz is, too, in his own way. Edit

- Laura : We don't have a valet. This is a laundry ticket. Wendy: What are you saying? Laura (smirking): I'm saying this is a laundry ticket. I'm saying, you seem to have given someone your car for a laundry ticket. Wendy: I don't see the humor in that. Laura: Well, it's very subtle. Edit
- (Ben is on the elevator when Laura starts to get in) Ben: Hey, you going up? Laura: Yeah, I thought I would, since we're on the ground floor. Aren't you getting out? Ben: No, I'll stay in. I'll ride up with you. How 'bout that? I'm in no hurry. I got really nothing planned. You remember me, don't you? Laura: Yes, I do. Ben: I'm Ben Katz. ... Dr. Katz's son, Ben Katz. THAT'S WHO I AM! You look well; you look good. You have like a peachy look to you. ... Yeah, you got a good shimmer off your skin, like a shine. You're all shiny. Edit
- Julie: Can somebody see you, even if they're not, like, depressed? Dr. Katz: Borderline? It happens all the time. People come in ...people aren't always depressed when they arrive. Edit
