The seventh put you off? A lot of the fandom hated the sixth.

I suspect it was the way that Georgia Public Television aired the shows.

18 October 1986: Tom Baker returns for a third run.
28 February 1987: Newly cast seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, and producer John Nathan-Turner meet the travelling Doctor Who USA Tour with Jon Pertwee at Mercer University in Atlanta.
7 March 1987: The special Live from Atlanta airs.
21 March 1987: Tom Baker's run is interrupted for season 22.
23 May 1987: Live from Dixie Trek airs.
12 March 1988: The Trial of a Time Lord airs in its entirety.
26 March 1988: Sylvester McCoy premieres.
23 April 1988: Georgia finally sees the Jon Pertwee stories.
14 May 1988: Doctor Who at Dixie Trek airs.
15 October 1988: Tom Baker returns for a fourth time.
11 March 1989: Sylvester McCoy premieres.
1 September 1990: Jon Pertwee returns.
23 February 1991: Still no William Hartnell, Tom Baker's fifth run begins.
7 September 1991: For one night only William Hartnell airs in Georgia.
8 February 1992: As Tom Baker regenerates, Doctor Who ends for Georgia viewers
I didn't see much but fleeting glimpsings of Colin Baker and Paul McGann.   But I didn't see much there either.
