Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''''Dr. Christian''''' is a radio medical drama series with [[Jean Hersholt]] in the title role. It aired on the  [[Columbia Broadcasting System]] ([[CBS Radio|CBS Radio network]]) from November 7, 1937 to January 6, 1954.<ref name="dunning">((cite book | last=Dunning |first=John |date=1998| title=On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-507678-3 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=EwtRbXNca0oC&dq=%22Dr.+Christian,+light+drama%22&pg=PA202 |pages=202–203|access-date=17 May 2017 ))</ref> Two years after the conclusion of the long-running radio program, the series was adapted for [[Television programming|television]] on 1956 where it aired in [[Broadcast syndication|syndication]] also through CBS  on the [[Ziv Television]] production company until 1957, with a younger "Dr. Mark Christian"  portrayed by [[Macdonald Carey]] as Dr. Paul's nephew.

Hersholt had earlier portrayed the character Dr. John Luke, based on the real-life  [[Allan Roy Dafoe|Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe]], the [[Canada|Canadian]] [[Obstetrics|obstetrician]] who delivered and cared for the famous [[Dionne quintuplets|Dionne Quintuplets]] children, in the [[20th Century Fox]] studios movie [[The Country Doctor (1936 film)|''The Country Doctor'' (1936)]] and its two sequels. He wanted to perform the same role on [[Radio programming|radio]]  but could not get the rights. He decided then to create his character for a new radio program series and since he was also an enthusiast/fan of the [[Hans Christian Andersen]] collections of [[Denmark|Danish]] fairy tales literature, he borrowed that name for his character of the thoughtful, reflective, philosophical character "Dr. Paul Christian".

==Overview==
The program debuted as ''The Vaseline Program: Dr. Christian of River's Bend''.<ref name="frbs">((cite book |last1=Erickson |first1=Hal |title=From Radio to the Big Screen: Hollywood Films Featuring Broadcast Personalities and Programs |date=2014 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=978-1-4766-1558-5 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mCXOAwAAQBAJ&q=%22Joining+the+CBS%22&pg=PA149 |access-date=December 7, 2019 |language=en))</ref> Dr. Christian practiced in the Midwest town of River's End with the assistance of Nurse Judy Price ([[Rosemary DeCamp]], [[Lurene Tuttle]], Kathleen Fitz, [[Helen Claire]]). With the opening theme music of "Rainbow on the River," Dr. Christian was introduced on CBS November 7, 1937, on ''The Vaseline Program'', aka ''Dr. Christian's Office'' and later ''Dr. Christian'', sponsored by Chesebrough Manufacturing Company's [[Vaseline]].

The small-town physician's good humor, innate common sense and scientific training helped drive off a series of villainous types who tried to interfere with the peaceful lifestyle of River's End, as well as dealing with personal problems among his many patients and the majority of those who lived in town. The program was also unique in that, by the mid-1940s, listeners contributed the majority of the scripts (some were "professionally polished" before they were used), and an annual script-writing competition introduced in 1942 was the highlight of every season- top prize: the $2,000 "Dr. Christian Award" {with several $500 "runner-up" prizes}; among the later winners were [[Rod Serling]] and [[Earl Hamner, Jr.]] Produced by Dorothy McCann, the radio series became a popular success, continuing on CBS until January 6, 1954.

Hersholt was so strongly identified with the role that he received mail asking for medical advice.<ref name="dunning" />

There were various spin-offs; Hersholt co-wrote a Dr. Christian novel and made a series of six family films as Christian for [[RKO]] from 1939 to 1941.

==Films==
In release order:
* ''[[Meet Dr. Christian]]'' (1939)
* ''[[The Courageous Dr. Christian]]'' (1940)
* ''[[Dr. Christian Meets the Women]]'' (1940)
* ''[[Remedy for Riches]]'' (1940)
* ''[[Melody for Three]]'' (1941)
* ''[[They Meet Again]]'' (1941)

==Television==
In 1956, the Dr. Christian character made the transition to television in a 39-episode syndicated [[Ziv Television Programs|Ziv Television]] series, scripted by [[Gene Roddenberry]], with [[Macdonald Carey]] as his nephew Dr. Mark Christian. Jean Hersholt appeared for the last time as Dr. Christian in the first episode, officially turning his medical practice over to his nephew. Shortly after filming the episode, Hersholt died on June 2, 1956.

Among the series' guest stars was [[Mason Alan Dinehart]], who played Danny Martin in the 1957 episode entitled "Typhoid". [[Stacy Harris (actor)|Stacy Harris]] appeared in the same segment as Warren.

In the episode "The Sprained Thumb" of the 1950s TV show ''[[The Honeymooners]]'', [[Ralph Kramden]] sarcastically asks [[Trixie Norton]], "Well, Dr. Christian, have you got any more suggestions?"<ref>The Honeymooners - Season Two, Episode One. https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B075SHTQG7/ref=atv_dp
