When you goto netflix, type in doctor who, it will come up first the 'reboot' and then under that seperate will say Classic Doctor Who. Start with season one of the top link, the one that says 2005.

Thanks!!! I planned on watching it on Netflix because of Subtitles. :D

I guess if I wanted to, I could Google the series to see when he meets sara jane and k-9 again, and the few things like that, to watch those few shows.

Hi Poeia,

Sounds like you're not just a fan, but an addict. :lol: I know that a lot of people follow the show and actors to this extent. This is why I thought I might like the show. :D

Adding:

I'm addicted to Supernatural right now. I was so addicted to Fringe that I watched the whole thing twice... but that was only 5 Seasons. :)

I'm not. I just started watching the reboot a couple of months ago which is why it's top of mind. I watched Eccelston, Tennant (his series and his specials), half a season of Torchwood and half a season of Matt Smith.

I went through a similar addiction to Buffy/Angel last year despite never having watched them while they were on. (Sexy vampires? You must be kidding me. I won't watch that.)

I do get hooked on shows with a great actor/actress in the central part even if the supporting cast has some talent gaps. As a result, the closest I come to being an addict, to excluding [H]ouse which is a given, is Elementary right now (despite the gorgeous Lucy Liu's thespic abilities.)

I've never watched Doctor Who, but all you fans made me curious. I read up briefly about it. Sounds like I'd like it if I can get past the British Accents with Subtitles (I have a hearing loss). Does one have to start with Season 1 Episode 1 the Original Series to understand what's going on? Could I start with the new Doctor (where ever that is), or should I go all the way back?

Never ask a fan if you can start with the new series, just a bit of FYI.;)
That will get you a lecture every time :lol:.

That said you will want to see the first ever episode. The older set can get slow in the new age of watching tv hype. Fun to watch how it was done non the less. Suggestion have a hand full for each and every series season. blow through the newer seasons 1-4. And slow up at 5-7.
key words:
Dalek, Cyberman, Weeping Angel, Ood, Tadrus, and Rive Song. Just to get you started
Don't worry too much over the words bad wolf unless your hooked and feel like fallowing yet another awesome show spin off.

yes you can, also sarah jane (rip) had a spin off show from doctor who as did K-9. Sarah Jane came back for a episode and unfortunatley died not too long after. It was a happy moment.

Tried Supernatural. Giggled a lot.

Watching a series TWICE is addicted? Are you joking?
Can you recite whole scenes from memory? If not, you are not even addict-adjacent.

True addicts do things like transcribe episodes.

Then, if the original people who organize the transcriptions drop out, take over, thereby ending up transcribing about have of the 8 seasons by themselves and organizing the rest of them.

All I have is time in the late evenings, so I think I'll do just that. Like I said, I'm not really concerned about catching up. If I get that way, I'll deal with it. Won't have any time for spinoffs, though. :lol:

Wait! What????? Subtitles?? Really?? :what:

Dude, it's in ENGLISH man! :D

I have a hearing loss. I need subtitles, especially when there are accents. :(

I think you're describing a Junkie. :lol:

No, I guess I'm not a true addict, then. But watching Fringe a second time was great, knowing where things were coming from and going to. :)

VG. Sorry. I did not know that. My apologies, no offense was intended. Was meant as a gentle, fun ribbing.
