Animal Practice is a sitcom that airs on NBC and premiered in 2012. The show revolves around Dr. George Coleman, played by Justin Kirk, who is a skilled veterinarian with a passion for caring for animals. He is the owner of Crane Animal Hospital, which is one of the best veterinary clinics in New York City.

Dr. Coleman is a charismatic, charming, and talented veterinarian who pushes the boundaries of veterinary medicine to the limits. His unconventional methods often get him into trouble with his colleagues and authorities, but he always manages to save the day. The show follows Dr. Coleman as he treats both exotic and domestic animals with his unique and quirky style.

The show has a core cast of characters who work at Crane Animal Hospital, including Dr. Doug Jackson, played by Tyler Labine, who is Dr. Coleman's best friend and the resident clown of the clinic. Dr. Yamamoto, played by Bobby Lee, is a shy and socially awkward veterinarian who often gets tongue-tied around Dr. Rizzo, played by Joanna Garcia Swisher, who is a tough and ambitious veterinarian who has a strong opinion about everything. Dr. Angela, played by Betsy Sodaro, is an animal handler who works at the clinic and is always eager to help out.

Other recurring characters include Mr. K, played by Kym Whitley, who is the receptionist at the clinic, and Dr. Leiter, played by Amy Huberman, who is a rival veterinarian who is always trying to one-up Dr. Coleman.

Throughout the series, Dr. Coleman faces a variety of challenges and obstacles. For instance, in one episode, a cheetah cub is brought to the clinic with a life-threatening illness, and Dr. Coleman has to work around the clock to save the animal. In another episode, a celebrity client brings in her pet horse, and Dr. Coleman has to deal with paparazzi and a demanding owner.

The show features a lot of animal interactions that are sure to appeal to animal lovers. From dogs and cats to monkeys and snakes, Animal Practice covers a wide variety of animals, each with its own unique story. The show also features a lot of physical comedy, especially from Tyler Labine's character Dr. Doug Jackson, who often finds himself in ridiculous situations.

In addition to the animal stories, the show also focuses on the relationships between the characters. Dr. Coleman is something of a ladies' man, and the show explores his romantic interests and struggles to find love. There are also tensions between the veterinarians at the clinic, as each has a strong personality that can sometimes clash with the others.

Animal Practice was generally well-received by critics, who praised the show's heart and humor. Justin Kirk's performance as Dr. George Coleman was singled out for particular praise, with many reviewers noting his charisma and comedic timing. The show was canceled after just one season, however, due to low ratings.

In conclusion, Animal Practice is a fun and lighthearted sitcom that offers a unique take on the medical drama genre. The show's focus on animal stories and relationships between the characters makes it a great choice for animal lovers and fans of character-driven comedies. Despite only airing for one season, the show remains a favorite of many viewers and is well worth checking out for those who haven't seen it before.

Animal Practice is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (9 episodes). The series first aired on August 12, 2012.
