About Matt Lincoln

  • Released on September 24, 1970
  • Comedy

Matt Lincoln is a television medical drama which was aired by ABC as part of its 1970-71 lineup.

Matt Lincoln starred Vince Edwards as Dr. Matt Lincoln, a psychiatrist who had founded a telephone hotline for troubled teenagers. He also operated a free walk-in clinic to help the needy with their mental health concerns, in addition to a private practice which apparently paid the bills for the other two endeavors. The focus of the program centered around the helpline, where he was assisted by Tag and Jimmy, two "hip" young blacks; Ann, an attractive young white woman, and Kevin, a somewhat cynical police officer.

The show's theme tune, "Hey, Who Really Cares" was written by Oliver Nelson and Linda Perhacs, and a full version of the song appears on Perhacs' legendary album Parallelograms.

Unlike Edwards' previous medical drama, Matt Lincoln never developed much of an audience and was cancelled at midseason.
