Does anyone here like the show Doctor Who? I got into it when I didn't have cable. It plays on PBS in my area. I kind of wish I'd gotten into the show earlier. It really is a great show.

Apparently nobody here does -__-
I have followed the rebooted series up to series 4 so far.
I have been watching the Pertwee era online as the third doctor. He kicks ass LITERALLY. The storyline "Inferno" was one of the best I have seen. At the time parents bitched some of the Pertwee era was "too scary'
None of the other Doctor's ever incorporated Verusian Kung fu. Why the hell not I say??

THE UK version was perfect, until David Tennant left and a new actor came in. Ugg.

I stopped watching when Tennant left. Not out of protest. But because Doctor Who is only shown on BBC America now. I don't have that channel.

I hated Tennant my least favorite doctor. What a joke really, emo, crying over companions, love struck. Horrible episodes like Fear her, Love and Monsters, those 2008 specials were all crap except Waters of Mars. Series 2 was literal crap with New Earth which was a joke. Gridlock which made a mockery of the Macra from Troughton's period. Rose coming back every 5 seconds was crap.. End of time . . .a LARGE joke with the worst regeneration sequence of ALL TIME. "I don't want to go" was BS and was a direct slap in the face to past regenerations of humility! John Simm was a miscast for the Master, he was like your screwed up Uncle which was a joke compared to Delgado and Ainley.
Smith has been more alien (Better) and my main complaint has been too many arcs and too much River Song.
My favorite Season so far is the 1970 season and favorite story is Inferno. So dark and amazing and on youtube!
My favorite Doctors in order:
Jon Pertwee Patrick Troughton William Hartnell Tom Baker Colin Baker McCoy Smith Davison McGann Eccleston Tennant

I finally listened/completed the Big Finish audio "Sirens of Time" starring the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Doctor. Pretty good with Colin Baker standing out the most. A lot of these stories are better than the show itself especially the Colin Baker Sixth Doctor audios.

The first half of season 33 was interesting so far. Asylum of the Daleks a big improvement from Victory from a season ago and anything is better than that steaming hog mess that was "Evolution of the Daleks/manhattan" crap from a few seasons past. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship was an overall fun romp. A Town called Mercy I liked it quite a bit exploring the Doctor's darker side. The Power of Three was a steaming steam of rotten tomatoes, only thing good was the Brig's daughter! Angels Take Manhattan was interesting with a great musical score and atmosphere but had some irritating things like the Status of Liberty being a weeping angel which was crap. Can't wait for the Christmas special titled "The Snowmen!"

Season 33 was not too bad. Much better than season 32 the River Song show was what that was. The second half was better than the first half. Loved "Cold War" and "Nightmare in Silver". The finale was pretty good setting us up for the 50th anniversary. Hide was good too. Two worst was power of three which was crap. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship is a worthy runner up. Bring on November!

My gf started watching this a couple of weeks ago and much to my surprise, I'm enjoying it a lot so far. It's the season with Christopher Eccleston as the doctor and I'm only 3 episodes in, but it's pretty good. Looking forward to checking more out.

Season 27 where you are starting off with is okay. Rose is garbage, End of the word is crap. Unquiet Dead, EmptyChild/Doctor Dances and Dalek and the finale are the best. The rest the season is forgettable
