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.

Absolutely. And I wish I had your enlightened attitude to all eras/producers/etc, but I'm just a big moaner really... ;D

What, that old show? Pffft. I mean, you watch stuff that used to be in black and white? ^_^

(This is the closest I have to a Doctor Who icon, by the way.)

*Applause* I agree with every word!

I don't believe in Classic Who and New Who, though I use the terms sometime.

Yes indeed. I saw a great clip with Steven Moffat where he said there's no such thing as the Eleventh Doctor; there's just the Doctor. It's been the same show about the same character since 1963, and that's what's so fundamentally amazing about it.

That's a great video in the link, by the way -- hadn't seen it before. Oh, and I forgot to be shocked that this your favorite show. Shocked! Shocked I say!

Timelash rocked! (But I totally know what you mean.)

This. YES.

And, yes, I like it all.
And, again... This. YES!! Give me any era, every doctor, even the spin-offs... I love the whole of it.
