Still is! Weeknights, 10-11pm; Sundays 7-10pm. Dr. Scott lives on, even a year after his death. The station even has a larger than normal bug in the upper left corner just for this show...it reads kDOCtv.

KDOC has always been a little different. The station started in a converted furniture store across from Disneyland in 1982, and was home to Wally George, the Poorman, Request Video with Richard Blade (among others), and a host of truly strange and often downright silly low-budget shows. It was also the home of horse racing recap shows for almost two decades.
