Has Doctor Who The New Series run its course ?

[Mikey]

Just wondering,
Is Doctor Who The New series best days behind it ?
Has the show run its course ?

Some things that's making me think this might be possible.

1. The show is clearly getting worse as time goes by and even hard core New Series fans will admit this.

2. The partial hiatus is really killing the show, imo
Out of sight means out of mind... and Doctor who is REALLY out of mind lately (check the buzz on the net)

3. It seems the toy and collectible market is picking up on this too with less Dr Who items being made.

4. Letting everyone see the NEW Doctor in advance was a horrible mistake ... The best thing i've heard spoken about him is "i'll give him a chance" ... That's not very encouraging considering that's the BEST thing people have to say about him.

What do you think ?

Did the New Series best days already pass ?

Look up in the sky, is it a bird? no is it a plane? no it's DR WHO jumping the shark And the planed DR WHO 90120 will be the last jump of death

Doctor Who jumped the shark many times and it hasn't hurt the show.
A few examples

William Hartnell "regenerates"

Doctor Who is stranded on Earth FOR YEARS -- to keep the budget down

Tom Baker wears a 25 foot long scarf

Enter Davros

Colin Baker

Half Human

etc

I liked the 25 foot scarf But i agree with you on the 3rd DR and 6th DR but the show carried on but this time not even Rose could save the show with the upcoming teenaged DR, Stick the fork in it's done

[AUSSIE-Rebooted-AMM]

well I have been out of the loop for some time. . . .I only saw the 2nd season of Tennant. . .and I don;t think I even finished that season . . .so I am at least a year behind or more. . . .so what is happening? A teenage Doctor??????

[Bionic Joe]

OK the new DR maynot really be a teenager but he looks and will proabley act like one, The teenage DR i mentioned will be the next DR replacing Tennant at the end of this season

[AUSSIE-Rebooted-AMM]

Is this him?

[Nostalgiabuff]

they should have paid Chris Ecclestion(spelling anyone?) whatever he wanted to stay on. He was great as the new doctor. Dave Tenant took a while to grow on me but after Rose left i stopped watching. The new companion was just too annoying. Besides, Rose is hot!!!

[Nostalgiabuff]

ps....Tom Baker is still my favorite Doctor, followed only by Pertwee

He looks like Ashton Kutcher if his face was run over by a truck

David's run was fantastic! i liked him from his first episode. i thought he was an improvement over a ery good Eccelston. is this skip year causing Doctor Who a problem .. YES. especially the fact they announce 4 specials and then 3 of them are at the end of the year instead of spacing them out every 3 months to keep it in peolpe's minds. does matt smith look to young and make me worried? slightly, but we have an ace in the hole... new show runner
STEPHEN MOFFET by far my favorite writer of the new series. if we can keep the repetative stories from RTD gone and since he is they should be as well. i mean 3 times you have a massive dalek army surrounding our heroes and 3 times you have a quick fix to the millions of daleks. just a waste. i'm looking forward to the last 4 specials and the new run in 2010.

[Surfsup]

Yes, it has run it's course with the stale RTD at the helm; he was rapidly making the show a laughing stock. Now we have a man in charge who knows how to captivate viewers and an exciting actor in the role of the Doctor.

I reckon we're in for a real treat and possibly one of the best seasons ever.

I'm finding it more corny and less captivating. It took me a long time to get used to Tenant. I want Eccleston back:-(

I totally agree.
Corny is a great word to descibe a lot of Tennant's run.

I don't have all that much faith in the series getting better just because Moffet is taking over as producer.

Yea, I know he made a few outstanding episodes in the past, but then on the other hand i'm not sure if I want his kind producing on a regular bases.

Will every new episode from now on have a juvenile tag-line ? ... ie, "are you my mommy", "don't blink" and "hey, who turned out the light" etc.

Moffet seems to work best in moderation.
I really can imagine myself getting tired of the Moffet formula very quickly.
