I don't get why one show needs to change it's main actor every season. It feels like a very hard series to get into.
it isn't every season. Matt smith is on his third and david tennant was on for about 4 or 5. Get your facts straight before assuming mate.
Tennant had three, Smith is on his second. Oh the irony
Technically Tennant had 4 series. (seasons 2-4 and the specials which are basically a half/short season - 4 "double episodes" as it were)
Matt smith is half with through 2, but has signed for a third. And as he was talking about how often the role changes actors, i think we count the third season...
and OT - I dont see a lot of hate for Smith as the Doctor - occasional degrees of "prefered Tennant" but these tend to be Who-nebies anyway. there was a similar issue back in teh day when the Dr first regnerated, and for generations since actually. Everyone gets into the show, and the current Doctor becomes "their doctor", any subsequent ones are just compared to and found wanting. while New who started with Eccleston, he disappeared so quickly that for a lot of people Tennant was their Doctor. And it doesnt matter what Smith does - for a bunch of people "Hes not Tennant".
Personally I love him, unlike Tennant he never seems to be trying to be odd or alien, and thankfully doesnt pout like a lost puppy (also thought Tennant was excellent, aside from those two traits).
Personally still wish McGann had been given a better shake of the stick. He was fantastic as the Doctor (thought the Fox movie was terrible, as was Roberts...).
