Doctor Who is the only TV drama I watch, and I'm a year behind on that. Not sure how I'm going to like the new lady Doctor. But then every time there is a new one, it takes some getting used to.

I used to think that back when #3 became #4. Say, you watch Gothom? Alfred the butler is played by #3's (John Pertwee) son!
There are Doc's I like and some I didn't so much..
Amy Pond kinda got overdone.
There is still the Dr's daughter running about somewhere (Tennant episode)
As far as a female Doctor goes. It was inevitable...

Never saw Gothom. The sum total of my TV watching is F1, FSU basketball and Doctor Who. My Dish Hopper records all new F1 and Doctor Who. But I have to work to watch Noles Hoops.

It seems like DW has more tear jerkers than it used to. I agree about Amy Pond, but I like River Song. I do forget about the Doctor's daughter. She will show up at some point.

I got my start with old Tom Baker episodes in '83. Been watching ever since. We used to get the show on PBS, and I did see some of the older Doctors too.

Ah yes, remember when there were just 3 channels and if you were real lucky, you were able to get a fuzzy UHF channel

Oh, man. And Johnny Quest was on one of those "fuzzy" channels too!

Remember a "super hero" show from, oh I'd like to say 62 or 63. It was some skinny bumpkin and he took a "pill" (as needed) to become "Mr. Terrific"?

I've only come across a very, very few who remember that one. Single season....Hell, as a kid, I loved it! Something besides Beaver and all the damn westerns.
Still, I did like Wagon Train and a few others. Highway Patrol - 10/4 bye....

Then it was "up to bed." Mom and dad would put on Perry Mason and that spooky fucking Perry Mason theme had me shaking and looking for "something" bad coming...... LMAO!

Aw hell, my age is showing....

i know there are good people out there, trying to raise good kids, and some of them are succeeding, but for every one trying, it seems like there are 9 that just don't give a damn, don't watch their kids, don't want the responsibility, and honestly, aren't responsible enough to supervise themselves, much less a child

From an Assyrian clay tablet c 2800 bce
“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.”
Plato and Socrates complained about them as did Seneca and Peter the Hermit. It’s is a sign of neurodegeneration in the observer

neurodegeneration? possibly, i think it's much more likely that it's accumulated wisdom, and a lifetime of experience. young people always have to find a reason they're right and older people are wrong. then they get to be older people, and realize they've been wrong half their lives. i'll be here waiting for you all to catch up...but i'm old, don't take too long

I lived in the nyc metro area growing up. We had a lot of choices 2 (cbs), 4 (nbc), 5 (?), 7(abc), 9 (local), and 13 (pbs). There were some higher channels later on, but for the most part they didn't come until the late 70's.

Nobody could afford cable, or really even wanted it, even though the basic was like $5/month.
