Am I the only one who watched the premiere of Doctor Whol on SciFi?
I really liked it, but it's been so long since I've seen the original I've forgotten most of it. |

Pippa, you're actually managing to make we wish I had a television. Maybe I should go lie down until the feeling passes.

Oh, you temptress, you.
So, it was good? Did it pick up with the latest incarnation of the Doctor or are they starting over again with #1?

I liked it, but I was really tired (drugged up and with a bad cold) and fell asleep during the second episode.
I didn't love it, but I did enjoy it. |

Oh, don't tell DH that Dr. Who is back on TV, he really will be wishing for cable then! He loves Dr. Who.

I never did see the first episode of the original series, so I'm not sure.
Never mind. Quick check of TWOP says he's the ninth, but it gives you enough info that you can jump in. |

ok, I want to TiVo this for honey. Can someone give me the info on when it airs usually or if they are airing these more than once so he can catch up. He LOVED Dr Who as a kid. |

Fridays at 9 are first runs.  You can check SciFi.com for repeats, but mine is only set for first-runs, so I have no idea when they might repeat. |

Don't thank me; thank the eejits at SciFi. The only reason I know it's on at 9 is because it's in the middle of what I like to call the "shit sandwich" of the two Stargate series, both of which need to be sent to the glue factory.  |

evoketv.com is a good place to keep track of this stuff.
And, I want a TiVo. |

JP, I finally gave in. The best thing about it is when the kids are up and I can't hear something I wanted to see (like a news feature), I can just hit record and go back to it. No hunting for a tape, etc.
Although it's hilarious until it gets to know you. Tivolicious keeps changing the channel on me to tape silliness I'd never want to watch. Like things with Bobby Flay. Silly Tivolicious. |

#9 lasted only a season? He only gets 12 incarnations, they're going to use them up pretty quickly at this rate.
Of course, it's science fiction. Something could happen so he could go back to the start of his incarnations, couldn't it? I mean, it's only been on since, what? The early 60s?

I heard they're interested in having a new Doctor every season. So, yeah, they're going to have to get around that 12 incarnation thing.
But he's the last Time Lord now, all the others having been killed in the Time War, so maybe he gets extra lives.

That's how the season started, Bridgette, with The Doctor as the only Time Lord left. | |
