I remembered Dr. Who from PBS, I think, when I was growing up. When it was the guy with the really freaky curly hair and ... a scarf?
This is exactly the extent of my background in Dr. Who.

That's the scarf the guy in college had! I'm glad I remembered it correctly.

I had a Dr Who scarf in college. It was my mom's that she'd knit when she was in college. It was awesome.

But I had no idea it was still a program until people here mentioned it.
Started the weekend after JFK's assasination on BBC, played through 1989, then was brought back in 2005 not as a reboot (like Battlestar Galactica), but as a continuation of the classic series. Oh, and there was a Fox TV-movie in 1996 that has been incorporated into the show's backstory, but it really sucked.

Yeah, that's the one. Didn't that iteration have a really woo-woo spiralling graphic in the opener, too? I know it sort of freaked me out for some reason.
I think you people are the only people I know who watch it. Of course, you people are the majority of people I know, so.
This.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I didn't watch the show, but caught end bits of it as it came on right before Monty Python. I thought Tom Baker was awfully cute. Something about the combination of the hangdog expression and the curly hair and insane scarf was really charming.

Yes! That's the only reason I ever saw it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Since I grew up in the UK, I have to know who Doctor Who is. I forget most of you people are foreigners.
Why would anyone spell my name iTa? Ita I get. I hate it, but I get it. iTa? You're just being difficult.
I'm drinking Mexican Coca Cola with lunch. It still gives me the squeaky teeth feeling that I don't like about Coke. I've been drinking way too much soda recently, even though most of it is purportedly-natural Izze.
