I never was able to get into the original run of the series (1963-1989), but when the Doctor returned in 2005 it definitely caught my interest. The ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) was more my speed, and it probably helped that his new companion, Rose, was played by the very sexy Billie Piper (who also starred in Secret Diary of a Call Girl),

If you're just now looking to check it out, my suggestion would be to start where I did with the first episode of the 9th Doctor (plus "Doctor Who Explained"), then go forward through the series with the 10th (David Tennant) and 11th (Matt Smith) Doctors to get ready for the Christmas broadcast when 11 will regenerate into the 12th Doctor.

It's not for everyone, so you may not like it after all, but if you do wind up getting hooked you'll have something besides fantasy football, hockey and GTA to post about.

By the way, here's my favorite GTA comment:
