The 50 Greatest Local TV Commercials of All Time

Too good to miss out...laughter begins here.

New favorite show

I have to admit something. I've been wrong. Oh so wrong. A couple of friends at work have been going on and on for sometime about the new Dr. Who series, by the BBC, that's on the Sci Fi channel. I've been quick to say how lame Dr. Who is - mostly as a result of limited exposure to the old series that I used to see occassionally on the Canadian channels in Michigan. Looked horrible and lame.

But I've been wrong. Granted, I havent seen the old series, but the new series is AMAZING. My friend Rachel lent me the first season, and I've been watching it every chance I get. What's most grabbed my attention is the creative, tight, witty writing. The effects are still so-so, good for a TV series, but not as good as some. But the writing, and the characters...wow. I won't bore you by analyzing what makes the show so great, only to say that it doesn't take long for you to feel for these characters, to love them, to root for them. Shows that give me characters to love, first and foremost, win me heart and soul. And this show does that.

Watching one episode last night (2 am - boo) called Father's Day, in particular, really touched me. It made me grateful for my own daughters, made me more conscious of my duties as a father, and made me want to grab them, hold them, and never let go. If a TV show can do that, I'd say it's a success. And Dr. Who is that - and more.
