We had taken the kids to London right Before the Eccleston series was hitting BBC America. So we got wrapped up in seeing on TV the familiar sights we had just seen, just kind of cool. And it turned out to be pretty good show, and just got better with Tennant.
Then they started jumping the shark a bit, and when Doug Smith took over, we just couldn't watch anymore really. He has moments but just didn't Work for me. In fairness, following Tennant was like following Jordan. I am sure my daughter is still in lOve with him.
Never have watched the old ones, more than just to Laugh at how bad they are. Even as a scifi loving kid with nothing else on (before the days of cable) and nothing else to do, I couldn't bring myselF to watch those.

Eccleston was my first Doctor. Haven't caught up on the new Doctor enough to figure him out.
A few months ago I started watching the classics.
Love me some Baker.

Question:
Where does the War Doctor fit in all of this? Should John Hurt be in the ranks of the rest?

Everyone thinks we named our kids after Ozzie & Harriet, but we really named our daughter after Harriet Jones, Prime Minister and we named our son Oswin. My kids also have a cousin named River but I think his name was inspired after Phoenix and not Dr. Song.
When I was young and watching it on PBS with my mother, Tom Baker was the Doctor. I remember enjoying it back then, but not sure why. I'm enjoying the revival series quite a bit. David Tennant and Matt Smith are the ones my daughter enjoyed the most. She's not sold yet on Peter Capaldi (she's 12, so I think the young/cute factor for those two played a lot into it), but I think he's great and thoroughly enjoyed this past season.
Yeah, the new Doctor definitely wasn't cast for the younger crowd, but so far I love what he's done. He still needs a decent companion to call his own though, pretty disappointed they kept Clara on for another season.
