Day 04 - Your favorite show ever

(Because I'm slightly bored with the show that will be my answer to Q3 right now. I won't be tomorrow).

Hmm, my favourite TV show ever? What could that possibly be?

I think it might be this old thing. It's quite well-known and it's one of the longest running shows in the world. Its lead character has been played by 11 different actors (and I love all of them, really and truly). It can be anything it wants, and pretty much has been at some time or another. I know everyone will have their own favourite show, but this is absolutely the most unique TV series there is: love it, hate it, never even seen it, but you've surely got to admit there's nothing else that's anything remotely like it. (Not all of it at once, I mean.)

And I think people might possibly have guessed what my answer would be there. I have other TV obsessions, but they come and go. This one is forever, I think.

And, yes, I like it all. I don't believe in Classic Who and New Who, though I use the terms sometime. I like the 1980s, even Timelash. I love the b&w stuff and can even amuse myself while watching The Sensorites. I have no problems with dodgy 70s CSO. I am a totally hopeless case. I don't even hate any producers. I can grumble about Chris Chibnall, but that's about as far as my disgruntlement goes.

Someone commented the other day about New Who being a reboot and I damn near went through the roof!!

Managed not to, but did point out all the instances when the new show has shown us it's a continuation of the old one...

A reboot?? Well, that's just completely incorrect! There are SO many continuity references . . . your icon, for one. :D

Besides, a reboot implies that something important has changed. For example, the Battlestar Galactica reboot had all sorts of changes, such as making Cylons look like humans. What's changed in Doctor Who? Better special effects does not a reboot make . . .

The moment in my icon was one of the things I mentioned as being proof that it's a continuation.

And I'm still waiting on a reply to my comment that "proves" their argument that it's a reboot (which makes me suspect they have no evidence!)
