Why do you hate it so much?Jaranja said:I would but Doctor Who is an awful TV show, in my opinion.
Doctor Who is a BBC institution, like Blue Peter, TV wouldn't be the same without it. It's also inherently enjoyable. With a few rare exceptions (*cough*Love and Monsters *cough*) even its worst episodes are at least cheesy fun. At its best (Blink, Empty Child/Doctor Dances) its the quintessential family show. At times it gets a bit too kiddy rather than family, compare Pixar to Disney, but its still at least amusing.
And it gave us Daleks. One of the most iconic villains of sci-fi and something that has remained utterly terrifying for nearly 40 years. Forget Xenomorphs, Terminators, Bugs, Prawns, Reavers, Predators and the rest, Doctor Who makes the monsters to be scared of.
Edit: To summarise: Yes, sometimes it's crap. But that doesn't matter because it's AWESOME.
