JFK, tho after most of the Boomers die it will be Dr. Who.

After the millennials die it will be Kennedy again.

Dr Who's a kids show though. The fans are younger than us.

I heard recently a description of the generation being anyone born between Reagan and 9/11, which was what I was going by.

Dr. Who sucks.

Overall no, but parts of it do rather suck, a lot is somewhat average and yet here and there, amongst the classic and the modern, are a few gems.

Americans hate what they dont understand

Given how moronic much of the recent series' of Doctor Who have been (and this is a fan saying this) I think it's unlikely that CdM doesn't understand it.

If I want to watch shitty British television on PBS, I'll stick to Masterpiece Theatre and one of the 3,000 iterations of Wuthering Heights.

Saturday night was 2 Monty Python episodes and the shitburger that is Dr. Who.

Is Wuthering Heights the one where the girl marries the guy?  I have a hard time keeping them separate.

Yup.  After Saturday Night Live was off the air, all that was left of the wasteland of terrestrial television were some informercials, some pre-Sunday churchifying bullshit and Dr. Who.  :shudder:
