When I was a kid, Dr. Who was good, campy fun. The shows were real kitschy at times and obviously produced on a shoe string budget. But the actors who portrayed Dr. Who back in the day - especially IMHO Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker - and the Companions made the show fun and exciting for kids.
Now, well, the show looks cleaner and sharper than ever, but the writings seems so typically politically correct, preachy, pro-gay (yeah, I’m serious), and it’s lost all its campy fun.
Just my opinion. Others here love the new show.
I never really watched Dr. Who but did catch it a few times, and I do believe you are right. Somehow these guys don’t understand a shoe-string budget can be appealing, it makes one feel somehow closer to the guys, like ‘hey, they’re one of us’.
When the money finally hits the showbiz guys, what will happen to this slick new show?
Best part about Dr. Who is the theme, IMHO.
