I have been a fan of Doctor Who since I climbed out of my crib at (on the word of my mother) fifteen months old.

I remember the climbing out of the crib and walking into the living room bit. I remember the having to reach up to turn the dial on the old UHF/VHF tv in order to get to WMPTs Saturday night airing of the series. I just didn’t know that I was “that” young. I’d thought I was 2.5 – 3 years, but 1.5 years…wow.

Don’t ask me how I “knew” to get up then or anything. I just did…from the first time and each successive Saturday night/Sunday morning since. Which is quite weird considering that the show aired at 11:00/23:00 when I was that age.

Incidentally, WMPT is one of the few remaining Public Television stations in the United States that still airs the original series on a weekly basis.

I know a lot of people knock the old show but I love it. Considering the budgetary and censorship restraints at the time of the shows airing, I consider the programming to be highly good actually. Then again, I am biased. :p

Remember, RTD loved it enough to revive the series, so there’s something good about it.
