...I have never seen that show before. I've heard it mentioned quite often, but never actually watched it.

The Who is pretty cool I guess. The Seeker, Pinball Wizard and a few other songs are really good.

Um, Ewyx? The Who are cool, but I think they meant Dr Who, the TV series.

 

[C95J]

I have never really been that much of a fan to be honest, only watched maybe 2 episodes.

 

[6unn3r]

Do i what?

 

[MasterSplinter]

Yeah The who planted the seed for Progressive metal and made the first rock opera. They are one of my favorite bands of all time.

PS: I know the question is about Dr. Who but i never watched the show so i couldn't care less.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I wouldn't say I was a diehard fan, but when a new series is on I'll clear time in my schedule to make sure I catch each of the new episodes. I don't really bother with repeats of old series' though, I'm not that much of a fan.

 

[_Janny_]

Well I basically saw the entire new series in about two days, so I guess I'm quite the fan. I'm not too fond of the writing on the newer episodes, though.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Never seen it even once.

David Tennant is a very good actor though, to bad he isn't used more often

I liked the series when it had John Pertwee as the doctor when I was very young, but other than that I don't care for it.

 

[JokerboyJordan]

Nope. Ever since Tennant left I boycott the series.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Never seen it and only seen mentions about it on The Escapist. Just makes me think of The Who, rather.

 

[seekeroftruth86]

I think I could get into it more if I had a TV. I saw the first couple episodes of the latest series and I really liked it. Also, as I loyal TV Troper, I have plenty of knowledge about it.

But no TV. A conundrum. Need to get the DVDs I think.

 

[Carnagath]

Never watched it, it's a long series and I'd like to research its past too before I watch the newer ones and no time for that.

 

[ANImaniac89]

Its an OK show that becomes awesome when stoned............ JK (sort of)

 

[Wuvlycuddles]

I love Doctor Who, but not out of choice. You see, one must support any Brittish sci-fi in the hopes that'll encourage more sci fi. Seriously though, i love the new Doctor Whos, the older ones are just a bit of campy fun, not something you can sit through an entire series of, but enough to make me smile like an idiot at all the crappy aliens.

 

[InsaneFool]

For lack of a better option, I selected "Doctor What". I know the show exists, I know what a sonic screwdriver is, I know what a Dalek is...but I cannot say I have ever watched an episode of Doctor Who.

 

[Acidwell]

Yeah its probably one of my favourite tv shows of all time. The new ones are pretty awesome.
