"The conceit of Doogie Howser was that it was a teenager struggling with the juxtaposition of an adult work load and adolescent feelings," he says. "Even if you put a new kid in there, he’d just be a guy going to work every fourth day and pontificating. I think there are better ideas."

Disney+ developing a female-led reboot of Doogie Howser, M.D. (https://deadline.com/2020/04/doogie-howser-series-reboot-doogie-kealoha-md-female-lead-disney-plus-kourtney-kang-1202903651/)

Doogie Kealoha, M.D., from former How I Met Your Mother writer and executive producer Kourtney Kang, is the latest past TV show to get a Disney+ reboot, following Lizzie McGuire and High School Musical. Doogie Kealoha, M.D. revolves around a 16-year-old half-Asian, half-white female doctor in Hawaii. Kang previously tapped her experience growing up mixed-race in an NBC comedy pilot. The lead character reflects Hawaii-born Kang’s own background. Acclaimed TV producers Steven Bochco and David E. Kelley created the original Doogie Howser, starring Neil Patrick Harris, airing for four seasons from 1989 to 1993.

Well, it looks like Neil is wrong on that, there is a new reboot coming but the reboot looks awful
