Premise

The series chronicles freckled, 7-year-old Dottie "Doc" McStuffins who decides she wants to become a doctor like her mother, a pediatrician. She practices for her dream job by fixing toys and dolls. When she activates her magic stethoscope, she can create a variety of

effects, including traveling through time. Her most regular use of it in the TV series is to cause toys, dolls, and stuffed animals to come to life. They are able to move, speak, sing songs, pick up things, hear, see, and smell odors, and she can interact with them. With the help from her 4 stuffed animals: Lambie, Stuffy, Chilly, and Hallie, Doc helps toys recover or "feel better" by giving them check-ups and diagnosing their fictional illnesses with an encyclopedia called "The Big Book of Boo Boos" and another encyclopedia called "The Big Vet Book" for her toy pets when she's a veterinarian. In season 4, the Big Book of Boo Boos and The Big Vet Book go hi-tech in a tablet form. Each 11-minute episode includes original songs. During ending credits in season 1, Doc gives advice to viewers about staying healthy. Seasons 1 and 2 have the original intro for the theme song, but in season 3, the spoken line by Doc at the end of the theme song — including the giggling — was re-recorded with Doc's new voice. In season 3, Doc opens up a veterinary clinic for fixing toy pets in addition to the regular medical services that she provides for the other toys. In season 4, Doc's grandma reveals her own magical stethoscope and teleports her and Doc to McStuffinsville, a magical city populated by living toys, and puts Doc in charge of the McStuffinsville Hospital. In season 5, Doc and her toys put together the McStuffinsville Pet Rescue Team, where they work together to rescue pets in need, led by her plush dragon Stuffy who is a great pet vet. Each episode focuses on Doc and her crew helping another toy in need, and after each check-up, gives each toy advice from anything that has happened to her or other circumstances. In some episodes, a member of Doc's crew ended up being the toy in need and even Doc herself being the patient with the toys caring for her in the same way she had.

Reception

The series received positive reviews and criticisms after its release. Kia Morgan Smith of Cincomom.com said that "It truly warmed my heart and almost brought tears to my eyes when my 8-year-old, Mikaela, saw 'Doc McStuffins' for the first time and said, 'Wow, mommy—she's brown,'" Dr. Myiesha Taylor founding president of Artemis Medical Society said that "This program featuring a little African-American girl and her family is crucial to changing the future of this nation." Taylor also applauded the concept of its portrayal of a young black girl who wishes to follow in the footsteps of her mother as a doctor as the lead character, that inspired her to collect pictures of 131 doctors—all women of color—and publish a collage online under the heading, 'We Are Doc McStuffins.'" The program was also a ratings hit on Disney Junior, with its premiere attracting 1.08 million children ages 2 and up and an average of 918,000 viewers in the same demographic, leading '' AdWeek'' magazine to dub the show an "improbable ratings juggernaut". In 2013, $500 million worth of Doc McStuffins merchandise was sold, something ''

'' writers claimed industry experts said "seems to be setting a record" for a "toy line based on an African-American character". They also said the character had broad appeal and the toys sold well to all demographics. In 2016, news that Disney had yet to formally renew the program for a fifth season resulted in a number of celebrities, including W. Kamau Bell, Jamilah Lemieux and Audra McDonald to appeal Disney to continue the program. Chris Nee, the show's creator, tweeted that she would report immediately if she received any news of the show being picked up, commenting that the writing staff was eager to continue with new stories.
