So, let me get this straight.....

I have been watching Dr. Who on Sci-fi channel and though it has, like, a bazillion seasons, this is the first time I have ever been able to see it. So, what, they change Doctors (or bodies?) every season or something? The season finale was terrific even if I did miss a few eps along the way but I was rather fond of  this Doctor, even if  he is the only one I have ever seen. This just makes me sad. It sortof reminds me of how I felt at the end of season one on B5, only worse. I'm not so sure I want to get attached to another one.

Total Bummer!!!!!

Yep. The actor decided he did not want to be "typcast?" Is that the word i'm looking for???

The original series went through quite a few Dr's!

I've yet to see either season. Saturday night at 7pm is not a good time for me to get hooked to a new series.

I don't watch "Doctor Who", but I wouldn't like it either if a character I liked was changing his shirt and his actor every year. Would be weird.

Dr. Who is quite the odd show in that it has changed its lead actor at least 10 times yet it is still around.

They don't change the Dr. every season or so just when the lead guy wants to leave. I think it is a very imaginative way for a show to go on. The rest of the characters usually stay the same.

Just in case you are interested in a bit of history on Dr. Who here is a great site http://www.physics.mun.ca/~sps/tv.html

Most actors stayed between 2-4 years. The actor to stay the longest was Tom Baker. He stayed for 7 years (1974-81). I have seen a lot of eps with Tom Baker and Colin Baker (who are not related). I have only seen bit and pieces of the other doctors.

It has a very fascinating history covering the last 43 years. I just love the show. : )
