The most geeky television sci-fi show

I was surprised that you guys did not mention the most geek acclaimed sci-fi television show in Monday night's discussion. It's "Doctor Who," of course!

As a general rule, I hate all things British. The food, Monty Python, you name it. For whatever reason, I absolutely love the new Doctor Who series. They just completed season two this month. I'm not sure why I like it, since I don't like any hour-long sci-fi shows. Perhaps it is because I watched the low-budget show as a youngster when it aired on PBS. Whatever the reason, it's a show that no true geek misses!

And to show just how good it is... even the wife has become hooked! I put those odds at about a million to one!

    I agree that did a fine job of updating "Dr. Who." I remember those PBS pledge drives well. :)

    I hope the new replacements for the Dr. and his sidekick do well but I'm not holding my breath.

    Colin, have you seen the second season yet, or just what's been shown on the Sci-Fi Network?

    The new doctor seems to perform his job admirably. His new companion had a red-shirt role in the last part of the second season, and we'll have to see how well she works out.

    The New Doctor rocks the house, if you're up to David Tennant that is. The other guy was sucky.

    I'll miss Rose. Billie Piper did a great job. The new Doctor, David Tennant, is actually quite good. Hopefully the new sidekick will do just as good a job.

    We get the CBC (Canada) on our cable system. I watched season 1 on that network. There was only a delay of about two days compared to the BBC. For some crazy reason, CBC isn't airing season 2 until the fall. So it was off to bittorrent for me!

    Man I need to get a better internet connection so I can get bittorrenting, I didn't know Billie Piper was leaving, I waiting every week for the ABC like a sucker. I developed a crush on David Tennant in Casanova, did you get that mini series in Canada? It was good.

    Unfortunately, I'm stuck with the Sci-Fi Channel version. I understand they edit out approx. 10 minutes to make room for commercials. That makes it even worse.

    I don't actually watch they show. I have friends trying to indoctrinate me. I was given the latest episode shown (I THINK it was. Don't harm me if I'm wrong) in Australia-land tonight on a recorded DVD. My quick jumping through to ensure all was working leads me to believe it was a Christmas ep. I have only previously seen the 'last-dalek' episode. The Doctor amused me in that.
    I think they said season 2 is showing, but I honestly didn't care and wasn't paying a shred of attention.

    I also usually dislike British shows. I Like Monty Python (as the exception), but can't stand Black-adder (as an example of generic dislike).

    How can anyone not like Monty Python?

    Rampant a lot of people don't get it. This is because they are dumb.

    The funny thing is that I love the Michael Palin's travel shows. But a song about SPAM... not for me.
