All the time. Worst special effects ever, though.
Not sure if I'm going to watch the new one on scifi though. Don't want to see it ruined (Again) |

Didn't watch a lot of TV as a kid, but Doctor Who was a special treat. Watched it from behind the couch sometimes.

I never really knew WTF was ever going on in that show... always some weird blob aliens or talking spiders or something. I mostly remember the Tom Baker ones. I only remember seeing the Doctor before Tom Baker every so often and barely any of the others after Tom Baker. Whenever it wasn't him I was always confused as all get out.

I LOVED Dr. Who. I watched it all the time. But if it wasn't Tom Baker I wasn't all that interested.

I used to watch it on occasion. I loved the cheap effects. They were amusing. He always had real babes as side kicks. Not super models, but the cute and well proportioned.

I remember watching it all the time. I was too young to notice the bad special effects though.

You thought Tegan was cute? (She was a side-kick to the replacement for Tom Baker, Peter Davidson - and I found her most un-cute) |

I used to watch it. I know the special effects were pretty amateurish, but the story line was pretty good. |

Have you seen the current one? Doctor Who Rose Tyler... not too shabby at all. Doctor Who's Companions DK... Tegan was nasty. I don't remember Leela... but I wish I did. |

I used to watch it all the time. It was broadcast for years on the local PBS station here in the Philly area (WHYY ch12).
I've seen all the episodes (TWICE) from the first Jon Pertwee (Dr. #3) episode through Sylvester McCoy (Dr. #7). I've seen a few of the earlier B&W William Hartnell and Partick Troughton episodes, too. My favorite Dr. was Peter Davison. I thought his episodes were the best. I liked his companions the best as well. It's been over a dozen years since they were last broadcast here in my viewing area. I've forgotten most of the Dr. Who data and lore I once knew. |

Yep!
Dr. Who was just one of those things when I was a kid....you either were into it or not....The effects were cheesy, but you still got into what they were offering as Sci-Fi. No Expert |

The one SciFi is showing is Official British Dr. Who. Well, at least as official as we can get. Not like that awful US made movie thing. Gha that sucked. |

I definitely remember it.
I did'nt see all that many episodes, and I don't recall usually getting it neither... but it was a cool show. Definitely was enough to scare/creep me out as a kid. Certain things I no longer remember, whichever specific type of aliens, boy they would freak me out pretty good. I'd love to see all the episodes some day. I've never been much of a sci-fi fan but something about Doctor Who was just very cool. And Daleks still kick ass! I look forward to checking out this new series! I don't watch the Sci-fi channel so I did'nt have any idea this was coming. March 17th

 Man... that's hilarious. I lived in Berlin, NJ and that's the station I used to get to watch it on as well. How funny is that.

Actually, the made for TV move of 1996 was a British/Canadian effort. Don't blame the US for that POS. |

It was on PBS from time to time when I was a kid and I remembered liking it.
I recently bought two DVDs (Spearhead Fron Space, Ark in Space) and they were kinda cheezy. Potentially good stories but let down by low production values and bad acting. |

Ah, but who else ever owned a copy of the "Doctoring the Tardis" by the Timelords?

Watched it when I could, but not religiously as it wasn't convenient to watch for some reason. they were fun.
If the DVDs ever get to a reasonable price, might get them and waatch in the right order to follow the story line. |

I never missed a Tom Baker episode, mostly because I had a thing for Romana (Lalla Ward).

I think you're talking about Leela, played by Louise Jameson. She was hot too, but there was something about Lalla Ward that made me crazy. Just too damn cute. |
