What Is Your Favorite TV Show?

is leaving Dr Who?!?! YAY!!!! (sorry, Satira) ;) But then I'll watch Dr. Who again... I could not stand him!! BUT heard there will be a WOMAN doctor?? should I buy the Christmas episode? Is that the change-over one??? I'm SO not sure there should be a female doctor... I loved the Wife of Dr. Who stories....

my favorite doctor was the FIRST NEW ONE...well and the second one... (got hooked on Broadchurch 3 series stories because of what's his name).

and LOVED the Sarah Jane Chronicles.. collected the DVDs... sad she passed from illness after the series was over...
For some reason I was not a fan of Peter, but I am hoping I will like the new lady. Has she started yet?

As soon as Missy was revealed as The Master, I knew it was in the cards for a female Doctor. I'm not sure about it, I'll have to wait and see.
That's exactly how I felt Rae...knew it was on the cards but I'm still not sure about it. Everyone has a favourite doctor for different reasons. My mum loved Jon Pertwee...I think that those who've only seen the recent series are more invested in the more recent doctors quite naturally.

There are little things in the new shows that do refer back to the older versions...like the Master eating Jellybeans and offering his wife one. I found that humorous as Tom Baker always had the jellybeans in his pocket and offered them to everyone.

Well, come now. Capaldi is Scottish. Soo ... quite naturally, he would be a favorite for me. Of course, David Tennant is also Scottish. How I wish he'd been allowed to use his native accent as the Doctor!

Earl, that's pretty slick. There was once a remake of a movie called the Manchurian Candidate. It had a web page setup for the multinational corporation that was used in the movie. Just for the heck of it, I tried the url and was amazed that it showed up and had biographies of it's corporate officers who, of course, weren't real. Still, for probably 10 to 100 bucks a year (depending upon the provider), it's nice for old time Carly fans AND you keep control of the site.

Keeping control of the site is nice. Ask John McCain who had to listen to Rachel Maddow telling of how she bought his website because his people were lax! Back in the day, Whitehouse.com was a porn site! The government finally snapped it up when the owners of the site didn't renew ownership. (Whitehouse.gov was and still is the proper website for those wishing to look at the white house but I think both will get you there now.)

Ah Doctor Who. :)

My first Doctor was Tom Baker. We got the series in Canada where I lived, but several years after it had been broadcast in the UK. So I was watching his first episodes in about 1980.

I was so excited about Baker’s cameo in Day of the Doctor. As soon as I heard that voice, I was a kid again.

Tennant very quickly became “my” Doctor, though. I was quite sad when he left.

I all but stopped watching during the Matt Smith years. I had high hopes, but...so much of felt like it was done just to spread Whovian Fandom. I don’t think Smith hit his stride till his last series. I liked his restrained, more mature, but slightly mad Doctor.

Capaldi...brilliant, lots of humour and gravitas, but let down by so-so stories, IMHO. By the end of his time I was sold on him. I will miss him, too.

Speaking of “miss”, though Michelle Rodrigues was fun and batty - yet wonderfully menacingly sociopathic - as Missy... I did not like the idea at first. It was obviously a test for how people would react to a female Doctor...and thus it felt too obvious. Ah well. I do think she was marvellous in the role but I never could think of her as having been The Master... she really was her own unique malevolent character, in my eyes.

Which brings us to — oops, I skipped Eccleston. I quite liked him as the first “new” Doctor. Too bad it was so brief for him. Imagine if they’d explored his character over a few series... A missed opportunity but I understand why he quit.

Anyway that brings me to Jodi Whittaker as the newest Doctor. I think (and hope) she’ll be great. I thought she was fantastic in Broadchurch. Her acting has depth and she can be quite funny.

Above all I hope Chris Chibnall writes stories for her that don’t feel like they were written in incomplete bullet points, like the outgoing dude wrote.

In Living Color was crazy funny! So hilariously inappropriate!
If you look closely, besides the young stars who went on to become big stars, two of the fly girls (the dancers) were Rosie Perez (White Men can't Jump) and Jennifer Lopez! It was a funny show for a while.

Man, those 90's dance moves!

@James R. , my kids rant about the bad writing with the last couple of doctors...I do think that both Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi are very capable actors...it's just a pity they didn't get better scripts. I found watching Missy in the last few weeks interesting, she reminded me of a psychopathic Mary Poppins due to the wardrobe. She was quite interesting but like you I didn't really associate her with the master. I'm looking forward to seeing how the female doctor goes...she is as you've mentioned a really good actor and it will be interesting to see how it goes.

Actually, Rosie wasn't actually a Fly girl. She was the show's choreographer and musical director. As such, she had to teach those girls, including J-Lo how to do those moves.

Ah, you're probably right. I seem to remember seeing Rosie as a Fly Girl at least once. A big kick for those of us who watched Soul Train but maybe it's just the memories mixing.

I recently watched the Christmas episode where he changes. He doesn't change until the very end. So if you like the current doctor you will probably want that episode. I don't want to say too much as I don't want to give it away to those who haven't seen it yet.
