Au contraire, I'm a die-hard-in-the-wool fan. I just happen to hate all things to do with the new series and its sinful, blasphemous ways.

Okay, that's a slight exaggeration. But only a slight one.

I think I may have to agree with you. While I think it's a good enough to watch, I can't say I think it's great. I used to like each different Doctor, now he's just...annoying. Why have the Doctor act as though he's overdosed on Prozac? And the inside of the Tardis is more spooky than most places they visit! I still think Antony Stuwart-Head would have made a better doctor!

Well, as everyone knows I totally disagree, but I don't want to start a fight about it. I love the new series and the classic series. Both are imperfect and a lot of fun, just like the Doctor.

But like I said, I don't want to argue about it. Just a comment that I think it's odd that people who love DW feel they have to fight about whether the New Series is worthy or not.

Yeah, I know. In any case, I'm just happy that it's back - and doing so well! It's just little things for me. Like not having the Doctors face shown in the opening titles. Silly things like that. But sometimes shows must move on.
Funny enough I feel the same as you do about Enterprise. I adore it. I can't understand why it seems to annoy people so much!

Oh, hey. That's not quite so. You guys got Touching Evil over there at least five years before we saw it here, and then, it was starting with Series III. :evil:

And how about The Young Ones? Eight. Years.

He was exaggerating slightly... we do get some decent comedy series first. Besides the Young Ones, I'm pretty certain we were the first people to see Blackadder (although that also made us the first to see the first season of it....not fun - except the episode where he became archbishop), the office, and Red Dwarf - though Red Dwarf tends to be pretty hit-and-miss.

People need to learn not to take me completely seriously, right off the bat. If I'm really serious, it will be pretty obvious (I hope.)

On the other hand ...

Hmm...I can't remember the first episode I saw, but it must've been in the early-mid '80s sometime....I'm gonna guess that it was something like "Four to Doomsday", or somesuch. My favourite episode at the moment being "Pyramids".

Well, thread title change required now. Past tense, or present, not future.

Cool. Show. I just saw the first two episodes. Cool. That's all I can say right now.

MWAHAHAHAH! The invasion has begun in earnest!
