YouTube has a number of episodes from this great show, and the picture quality suggests that they're from the restored DVDs sold by Shout Factory.

From IMDB: Edgar Barnes runs a project called Operation Polyglot, to build an ENIAC/UNIVAC-like computer to translate text to multiple languages. But someone is tampering with the machine in off hours. Is it nefarious, or life-saving?

This is an interesting story, but the title is misleading.

The "robot" is a new super-computer, and it's a "doctor" because it's used to analyze data on complex medical problems and calculate the probability of success for certain treatments.

Not exactly mind-blowing science fiction, but it is a well played drama with a good cast.
