My Grandson, the Doctor was a Singaporean sitcom. It was the third Singaporean English sitcom after Under One Roof and Happy Belly, which paved the way for the fourth, fifth and sixth English sitcoms known as Can I Help You?, Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd and Living with Lydia. It starred Nicholas Lee, Jacintha Abisheganaden, Michelle Goh, Susan Quah, Neo Swee Lin, Jasmin Samat Simon and Koh Chieng Mun. The location for this sitcom is mostly based at Geylang Polyclinic, in which the characters as medical doctors and nurses always frequent at their workplace by looking after and attending to their patients at the polyclinic. It also marks the second collaboration between Lee and Koh after their first collaboration in the popular and award-winning Singaporean local sitcom Under One Roof, where they also portrayed son and mother respectively in that sitcom as well, which also ran for 7 seasons from 1995 to 2003. It was also one of the least popular sitcoms in the 1990s besides Happy Belly and Can I Help You?. It also features the creators, producers, directors and scriptwriters from Under One Roof either.
For his performance in the series, Samat won the Best Actor award for the comedy/light entertainment category at the Asian Television Awards in 1997.
Carol Leong of The New Paper wrote that "Devotees of TCS sitcoms will enjoy the faintly absurd scenarios, the local humour and the sight of Jacintha playing it matronly."
Ong Sor Fern of The Straits Times wrote that the series has an "annoying share of well-educated actors trying to speak street English", and is "much too insipid to inspire many memories."
