Vintage Geek: Doogie Howser, Blogger

At the risk of dating myself, I'm just going to put it out there that I was a huge Doogie Howser, MD fan. In fact, I couldn't have been more ecstatic a few years ago when Neil Patrick Harris made a triumphant comeback with Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, which of course led to his awesome role as Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. I watch NPH on HIMYM — a slick, chic geek with his iPhone — and then I remember that this is not the first time he's showcased his onscreen geekiness.

As Doogie Howser, MD, the boy genius-turned-doctor, NPH sat at his ancient IBM PC and tapped out his thoughts daily. That's right, everybody: Doogie was a blogger! Or at least, a blogger in its first form. If Doogie Howser were on TV today, he would have found Blogger and set up shop (with fitsugar on his RSS Reader, of course). So here's to you, Doogie, our beloved old school geek!

    I love NPH! He is hysterical on How I Met Your Mother. And I think it's great that he is one of the few actors who is willing to come out of the closet and openly admit he is gay. I wish more actors would do that, then it wouldn't be such a big deal.

    now that i think back to the show - you're SOO Right about that. i wouldn't have even thought about the fact that he was one of the first - in the early days of blogging capabilities - when blogging wasn't even a word yet!

    I had such a huge crush on Doogie. I think he was probably one of my first crushes actually. I was like 8 and I just thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. lol.

    Whenever I hear the Doogie theme music it makes me smile.
