One of the reasons I decided to really give the show a chance was because I saw Tennant on Top Gear and thought he was wonderfully charming. And looks pretty hilarious in a helmet as well. :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732174528471795168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-41675755803012856412008-05-14T13:14:00.000-05:002008-05-14T13:14:00.000-05:00You don't need to watch the old series to apprecia...You don't need to watch the old series to appreciate the new (you might miss out on a couple of jokes/ references, but the new series is structured deliberately keeping in mind that some viewers may never have watched the old show). Any time a creature or character from the old series pops up, who/ what they are is explained in all the detail you need to know, and if you really want to know more, Wikipedia is happy to help you! : )<BR/><BR/>But definitely check out seasons 1-3 of the new series. Seasons 1 and 2 seriously rock (be sure to have tissues handy at all times; some of the episodes are heartbreakers, in the best way possible). Season 3 is a bit weaker, IMO, but still fun. Season 4 may well be the best yet (don't want to say that too loudly; knock wood!). And then you can check out the two spin-off series, Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood.<BR/><BR/>David Tennant is beyond awesome. Check out some of his interviews that are posted at You Tube--IRL he's so funny he'll charm your socks right off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-54992138427042614062008-05-14T01:09:00.000-05:002008-05-14T01:09:00.000-05:00Definitely go back to the beginning (of the 2005 r...Definitely go back to the beginning (of the 2005 revamp, that is) to really get in touch with the deeper emotions involved with the show. I would also suggest watching them on DVD, as the ones on Sci-fi and BBC-A have been slightly messed with; sound is weird, bits have been cut, etc.<BR/><BR/>~Sam Wise<BR/>Founder, Sacramento WhoviansAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10077202219133877437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-85005156827929243572008-05-13T22:50:00.000-05:002008-05-13T22:50:00.000-05:00BBC-America runs the last three seasons of Who, an...BBC-America runs the last three seasons of <I>Who</I>, and they just started up again. You can even catch the shows on demand at their website. So while you can't catch up on all 117 years (it's only 45, honest, and that's not counting the time it was on hiatus from the airwaves) you'll at least have Nu-Who under your belt.Camera Obscurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366304095952901048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-64359086560532297642008-05-13T18:39:00.000-05:002008-05-13T18:39:00.000-05:00You have to watch the first season or a bunch of r...You have to watch the first season or a bunch of references totally won't make sense.<BR/><BR/>Take Torchwood for a test drive too.

When it is on, I will waste a Saturday night watching Torchwood (or as a friend has so lovingly coined it "Touch-wood" (if you saw it, you'd get it, as it is dirty, did I mention Spike makes out with the hottie male lead? SPIKE MAKING OUT WITH A MAN, for real!)) on the BBC America. Granted when I lived near civilization we would watch Sci-Fi Friday night programming and then all convene at the bar and talk about Battlestar or whatever else we wanted to watch. We were cool geeks who went out in public and binge drank over Caprican politics!<BR/><BR/>I miss Christopher Eccleston, as he will always be the Doctor I love the most. I just can't get into Tennant. Then again my brain is currently on overflow with TV shows, and I am saddened to think I might have to refile some favorite episodes of Roseanne to get the new season of Californication in there...Black Eyed Gurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00306629809995376101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-2165643507179806452008-05-13T15:18:00.000-05:002008-05-13T15:18:00.000-05:00I'm a fan of both Eccleston and Tennant.

I too had watched the 70's series and didn't think anything could be as fun as that. After catching up on this new incarnation (I went back and found...er..."free" episodes of season 1 and 2 online) I must admit I really liked Christopher Eccelston to. But David Tennant just HAS IT. Anyway, glad there could be another convert out there! If you get the chance, it's worth renting the first 3 seasons, there is a lot of backstory that's going to come out this season. Enjoy! :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02124020184612470555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-36717907503137252432008-05-13T14:35:00.000-05:002008-05-13T14:35:00.000-05:00Yay!

I'm a relatively new Who fan and I have fallen head over heels for the awesome that is the Doctor. <BR/><BR/>I recommend starting with the beginning of the new series, Christopher Eccleston era, as it gives you the perfect amount of back story without making you feel as though you have 117 years of episodes to catch up on.eightkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761168733598473581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-23872886419130235642008-05-13T13:14:00.000-05:002008-05-13T13:14:00.000-05:00If you're in on Friday nights with Sci-Fi (Like, u...If you're in on Friday nights with Sci-Fi (Like, um, me) then you should check out The Sarah Jane Adventures as well. It's a kids show, but still fun, and a Dr. Who spin-off. The best part is that the main character, Sarah Jane, is a middle aged woman, and her sidekick is a teenage girl. Rock on, women in sci-fi! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
