Out of the Sci-Fi shows on air at the minute I know it's an Anime but it's one that I recommend to anyone that doesn't want to feel like the writers are treating you like morons.

Youtube video


The second season will be back on air at some point next month.

A very minor drop if any. I dont think a show like Doctor can ever lose its appeal. It reinvents itself. The 50th alone shows it appeal.

Steven Moffat with his poor casting and bad/childish stories aren't helping it either imo.
Steven Moffat with his poor casting? What are you talking about? The stories aren't bad if you compare them to the RTD days.

And the same Steven Moffat and his poor casting and rubbish stories helped take Doctor Who global. A feat RTD never achieved.

Doctor Who has always been a bit global though? And it's not a ratings giant in other countries it just does enough to get by, but Doctor Who could be a ratings hit in America and not lost 2 to 3 million viewers in the UK if Doctor Who actually grew up and actually not make it look like that a kids Sci Fi show is the only thing that the UK can make.

You realise its a family show though right? And it hasn't always been a global hit. It's only recently gone global. In the context of the thread, it hadn't lost its appeal, it's going the complete opposite.

Uh, Doctor Who was getting big in America during the RTD and David Tennant days.

Steven Moffat and Matt Smith took the show on and relished in its growing popularity but it wasn't them that got that ball rolling.

prepare yourself for a fall, Karl

Smith was good, but the writing was not.

I've always thought of Dr Who as a "kids/teenage" show

Well not big fan of this thread, So many of my fav shows been listed lol

Leave Hollyoaks alone, I love the fact that things happen in each episode, (There maybe over the the top) and its' the only fast movie soap at the moment

unlike the other soaps this week, more thing happen in Oaks in first two days, then corrie and EE happen all week put together!

But I do Agree with How I met your mother, should have ended before season 5!
I still watched it now and again!

Not sure about Doctor who when David was on it, watch first scenes of Mat one, I just could not used to being the doctor!

Might get back into, with Doctor, I did miss two series!

I Can't actually think of show, that would to axed, if this posted 2 years ago, I would have said Hollyoaks
