RSS Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 So, an American's perspective. While I had been aware of the series since I was a small child (my local PBS station aired it after Sesame Street for about a thousand years), I became a fan of the extremely long-running British science fiction series Doctor Who in high school. A creature of habit from way back, I used to watch reruns of Cheers late at night. The station that ran the show also carried Red Sox games back then, and on this particular night, the Sox were on the West Coast, meaning the time zone system conspired against me; and for that matter, the Sox were already down something like 9-0 in the fourth inning. So, seeing no need to put myself through the agony of watching them lose again, I started flipping across channels, which I had to do, because the TV Guide was way on the other side of the room.

Missy Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Another great one, Dan. You can really feel your love for the series coming through. I have the first two season / series on DVD, and I'm so tempted to toss a disc in right now. Alas, I have stuff to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I haven't read it yet, but I just have to say, this article reminds me that the world doesn't have nearly enough Billie Piper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 wow. No joke. I just started watching this last night because netflix has it for streaming. I am freaking hooked. It's funny, and you don't have to be an uber fan to know what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hey Mike, was there an open html tag in the formating somewhere? I noticed that the second half of the article is completely bolded. I've become a huge fan of your style, Dan. Super easy to read, flows well, but still thorough. It's less like you're just writing a review and more like your having a conversation with the reader. Very cool. I've always been on the fence with this series, but I think I'm going to have to cave in and buy it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks again, everyone. Doctor Who is a show that I have a tough time being remotely casual about. My instinct is generally to tie someone to a chair, strap the Clockwork Orange headband on them, and gently guide them through four of five hours. Sure, there might be a restraining order involved when it's said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks for the catch, DW. Everything should be fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
