Doctor Who

A time-traveling alien, with the power to assume a new body and personality with each incarnation, has adventures going back decades.  Yes, I went through The Simpsons and decided to give Doctor Who a try.  Let’s see how far I get in this show…

The First Doctor

William Hartnell was the First Doctor, when the show was largely meant to be educational or something along those lines.  He’s pompous and superior in a way that makes him the most interesting character on the show.

The Second Doctor

Patrick Troughton took over the role of the Doctor in 1966, leading to a different version of the character than had been played by William Hartnell.  This Doctor was more childishly comical, but much smarter than he lets on when he needed to be.  Troughton arguably was the most important Doctor in the show’s history as his work made the concept of recasting the Doctor every so many years plausible.

The Third Doctor

Jon Pertwee’s time as the Doctor caused some drastic changes.  The show shifted to color, produced less episodes per season, largely kept the Doctor stuck on Earth as an associate adviser to UNIT to save some money, and took on a more action-adventure theme over the broader comedy of the Second Doctor’s era.

The Fourth Doctor

The Fourth Doctor is probably the guy everybody who isn’t a big fan of the show pictures if they have any idea what the Doctor looks like.  Really long scarf, floppy hat, mass of curly hair, all on a tall dude.  Yeah, that’s Tom Baker’s longest-running Doctor.
