In light of this week's SciFi debut of the new Who, who here likes Dr. Who?

I used to watch it fanatically as a child, but having seen the original episodes since then, I tend to chuckle.

I haven't seen much about the new series yet, but I'm willing to give it a chance. Does anyone know if it still has the psychadelic spinning and the old theme music (both revamped of course) during the intro?

That'd be sweet!

Supposedly the classic theme is still there.
Reviews in England last year for the new show were pretty good, but many a diehard whooligan didn't like it, just as they hardly ever liked a new doctor.

It always takes a long time to bring die-hard fans around though. Star Trek: TNG is still hated by some die hard trekkies, and yet it has it's own loyal following. As long as Dr. Who still has the fro and scarf I'll be happy.

I was a little scared that you'd tell me otherwise, given that old fasioned police boxes are all but extinct these days. I gotta see it...I was like 5 years old when I fanatically watched Dr. Who. I even remember that it came on 7:00 PM every week night to this day. LOL!

Granted the distorted visions of childhood are often better than the jaded eyes of adulthood, so I doubt It'll really live up to my expectations. None-the-less, I'm there. I'm gonna have to vist the Sci-Fi Channel web site to find out more.

That was entertaining. A bit campy, but what can one expect from the Brits? I'll have to watch a few more, before I can really get a feel for it.

Definitely entertaining.  But maybe not right for the American masses, though I hope it sticks about.
I would really like SciFi to show the old episodes, but do they listen to me? explode:

I used to watch a bit of Doctor Who, but I got into the whole thing too late to catch up with all the various Doctors.  That, and I didn't really grow up in much of a TV-watching household.

I did really like the scarf, however.

The scarf and afro were the defining characteristics of the doctor as far as my childhood memories go.

Yes, definately scarf and afro.  In fact, every Doctor up until now has had some sort of big, poofy hair.  I can't say that I'm on board with the short hair thing.  It's not very much like the Doctor at all.
