Dr. Who

What is there to say about this show. First of all it's British, and every day I'm more an more convinced that British television is better than American television. Second, it's SciFi, which of course I really like. Third, there's it's longevity, seeing it's been around since 1963 (with a 16 year hiatus thrown in there) and it's still going. Fourth, it's it irreverent humor. I mean really what's not to like?

Of course, I do see that there is a big distinction between the classic series and the current series, and even though I do like the current series very much, I still think that the classic series has got it beat. Classic Who was created with low budgets, campy villains and the classic running down corridors. It's just so cheesy that someone in Britain should create a new cheese named Who.

I picked up a VHS copy of the Five Doctors and I absolutely love it. It's a blast even though it does move a little slow some times. The best thing about that show was that there were only four Doctors in Five Doctors, go fig eh?

Rowan Atkinson did an absolutely great spoof of Dr. Who that is funny called the Curse of the Fatal Terror. Rowan Atkinson plays a very good Doctor until he gets killed and regenerates several times in as many minutes. Eventually a female Doctor and The Master get together, but not until the Master gets some Dalek bumps first. Don't worry if it doesn't make sense, it's not supposed to apparently.
