I know next to the nothing about the series, but remember seeing just bits of the old ones and thinking they looked kind of dumb.

I've seen the ones that are available on Netflix, but that's sporadic at best. -- nm - Ender Nov 22, 09:34
they are pretty hard to watch by today's standards even when I started watching the show in the 1980's the stuff from the 60's and 70's were tough to - Remlik Nov 22, 09:11 5
- I watched some in the 70's on PBS. It seemed really cheesy and cheap to me -- nm - amoxy Nov 22, 09:13 4

        You can see the line from that to George Lucas and his Star Wars models... -- nm - landbeck Nov 22, 09:40
I have fond memories of watching those as a kid -- nm - Epiphany Nov 22, 09:02
My daughters went through some of the back catalog on Amazon. They looked more campy than dumb to me. -- nm - landbeck Nov 22, 08:54
BBC is re-airing some, my tv recorder is working overtime -- nm - marcel Nov 22, 08:50
I have seen some of every Doctor. Yes, the tone varies but they are still fun. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 08:46
