That's the problem; you have NO idea just how good DOCTOR WHO once was.

At the end of the first series, it was already going downhill. When they brought it back, it was NOT good and rapidly went to hell; the writing, the acting, the PC garbage...ALL OF IT!

Oh sure, the technology was better, less "crude", but family UNFRIENDLY, and they did away with the multi-levels, the "in" stuff, which made the original SO great! What you only know is the damned dumbed down crap, served up as worthwhile.

Hell...TORCHWOOD was more multi-leveled, complex, and even with the PC crap and the homosexual stuff, was better written and acted; not to mention the fact that unlike DOCTOR WHO, was NOT meant for kids.

It's amazing how good shows like Dr. Who go downhill when money gets put into it. I remember the last season of Monty Python had extravagant sets and costumes and was not funny. Some of that may have been because John Cleese had left the show but something was lost when it ceased to be a collegiate humor show and became a show-biz bonanza.
