So that new Doctor Who show that you people love was on before Top Gear...

I watched it and sort of enjoyed it. I resolved to watch more episodes.
Then yesterday I saw that it was on again and I watched it, it was dreadful. Absolutely awful. Again today, so awful I couldn't sit through it.
So I did a little looking and it turns out the 2010 episode was good and the 2005 episodes were dreadful.
How did the show survive considering the abhorrent quality of the show in the beginning?

I think it has something to do with the fact that you think damn near anything is horrible.

it really depends on which episodes you're watching from the 2005 season. actually that can be said about every season of who. it has horrible episodes in every season and a few that are amazingly awesome.

First picked up on this at http://supaswap-news.com/ and good question on how did it survive. I guess the secret is in the re-generation. If ones ont working change it for something else, in this case the lead character!!!!!

Dr. Who is the king of camp. It's been on for 40+ years and is known for it's campiness/cheesiness. I watched them as a kid on PBS and was super excited when they came out with the new series. Same campiness, bigger budgets. If your looking for serious sci-fi, this isn't it.

i just marathoned the whole 2005-2010 episodes. even bad doctor who is still fantastic. it's interesting how the worst companion season ever (3) has 3 of the most brilliant episodes of who. namely blink and the family of blood 2 parter. but season 4 will always be my favorite because donna is my favorite companion and tennant will always be my doctor. it's also interesting how i remembered rose from season 4 and hated her but as soon as i started watching season 1, i loved rose again and doomsday made managed to make me sad despite knowing what happens at the end of season 4. of course as soon as she came back in 4 i was like fffffuuuuuuu i hate rose!

Yes, the first actor to play the role (William Hartnell) was ill, and wanted to leave the series. Somebody had the brilliant idea: "Hey, it's a time machine, right? Then maybe it can make him younger!" and that's pretty much how the first regeneration was handled. Patrick Troughton's Doctor was originally conceived as a younger version of William Hartnell. However, Patrick Troughton played the role with a completely different personality. He decided not to stay in the role for too long, so his replacement was portrayed on-screen as a punishment by the time lords: in addition to being exiled to earth indefinitely, he would have to take on another new appearance, that of Jon Pertwee.
During Pertwee's reign as the Doctor, he met his former mentor, a time lord hermit who had moved to Tibet. In the course of the story, the hermit regenerated, and the regeneration process was described and defined as being a natural ability of the time lord body. When it was time for Pertwee to hand off the role to Tom Baker, the old hermit (now a younger hermit but still a hermit) magically appeared and assisted the Doctor with his regeneration.
Since then, the Doctor has been able to regenerate anywhere, any time that he dies. However, most of his regenerations have taken place either in or very near the TARDIS. Well, the ones that we know about, anyways. Nobody knows how or when the 8th Doctor became the 9th.
When changing Doctors was impossible, too expensive, or too soon, sometimes they'd just give the TARDIS a new console room, or change companions, or add another companion, or update the bad guys, or just re-mix the theme song.
We got all of the above this time around. Matt Smith, Karen and Arthur, new TARDIS, new theme song remix, new TARDIS exterior, new daleks, new everything. I just hope it stays this way for a while, but if there's one thing Doctor Who has taught me it's this: everything changes; sometimes when you least expect it. And there's nothing more useless than a voice lock. And, when in doubt, try reversing the polarity of the neutron flow.
