Like most Americans, my first real exposure to the Doctor Who series was PBS's showing of the Tom Baker era. I got to see a few other of the doctors as they ran (reran) some of the older ones, and some of the docters after Tom.
For me it was all about the companions, and I was smitten with Sarah Jane, so my favorite Doctors are Jon Pertwee, and Tom Baker. Never cared too much for Romana, and Adric was the Jimmy Olsen of Doctor Who.
I've watched the two Doctors in the recent series return that the SciFi Channel has shown so far. Can't say they hold the same magic that the older series did. I never warmed up to Rose and never really saw her as a legitimate romantic partner to either of her doctors. I wasn't sorry to see her go.
I do believe that SciFi is planning to air the next series sometime this year, but haven't heard exactly when that might be.
Doctor Who is okay, but it ain't no Lois and Clark.
