Robert Hartley or Frasier Crane--which would you be rather treated by?


Given a choice of the two great TV shrinks, I'd rather be treated by Dr. Hartley. He seems quite discerning, and he has a common touch that wears a lot better than the bookish, superior tone of Dr. Crane.

Definitely Dr Hartley for the same reasons you stated.

Definitely Dr. Hartley. I love Frasier, but his mind was always somewhere else when he was talking to "patients". No matter what the circumstance was at home, Dr. Hartley gave his patients 100%.

reply

Dr Hartley because he seems to care more about his patients. He also has a much better sense of humor...and I'd like to ask him about that wild dream he had where he opened an inn in Vermont.

Ironically, psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane and psychologist Dr. Robert Hartley both have IQ's of 129.

I don't know if Dr. Hartley was a great psychologist but the only thing I would ask Dr. Fraiser Crane would be opera or wine recommendations.

. Ephemeron.

Hartley, because even though he's a psychologist, he's more of regular guy. Not pretentious, like Crane.
