Well, I could, because I wasn&#8217;t allowed to watch that show back then. We were a PBS only type of family. This probably explains my bizarre fascination with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/?p=770\">Captain Vegetable<\/a>. But, you know, I was somewhat aware of the fact that there was a show called Doogie Howser and then there wasn&#8217;t a show about Doogie Howser and then Neil Patrick Harris pretty much faded into obscurity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Such is the life of a child star.<\/p>\n<p>Hell, most child stars are lucky if they don&#8217;t end up with an unfortunate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/story\/0,2933,183563,00.html\">meth addiction<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But!

(I won&#8217;t admit to liking Doctor Horrible because I can&#8217;t let my sister Christina know that she was right about something.
