Regarding Dr Who and being cool to watch, just take a gander at the people who watch it. It's not really 'cool', just popular among nerds.

Did you just call me a nerd? Is that a personal attack?

There are nerds who have no idea they are nerds then there are the "nerds" that try way too hard to be nerds. Those seem to be the ones that are flocking to show. Just my observation.

Hey, full disclosure, I used to watch it as a kid on PBS. The theme song is engrained in my skull forever.

I'm starting to watch the new stuff with my 9yo daughter, just to see what all the fuss is about. So far....meh.

Not a lot of Doctors of any type in Marshall country so it's not all that surprising!
