So we are about 5 episodes in to season 1. Does it get less...cheesy? Right now it's like a bunch of mini ScyFy channel movies. :::ducks to avoid things being thrown at me::::

It TOTALLY gets better.  I felt exactly the same about season 1*.   I'm getting ready to binge watch Season 8 on Netflix. 

*assuming you mean the most modern set of seasons

[krisandgrace]

The first episode is the worst. I think some people never get past that but it gets soooo much better!

[2curlydogs]

Yes. In a few more episodes they start introducing the major story arc for the season.

Have you met the Daleks yet?

Listen lady, each Doctor is SPECIAL!!!!!

[IIOY]

If you continue to struggle, go watch the David Tennant episodes, get yourself hooked, then go watch the other doctors and appreciate the madness.

Look at my scrubs!!!

[ChillyMcFreeze]

It gets so much better. Really, stick with it!

[KateAggie]

Ok...we just watched the Dalek episode. It was like a cheap, mean R2D2 with new feelings. That moved slower than my 8 year old getting out the door to soccer, yet caught everyone. This is not making me hopeful...

PS - Read that they are bring River back for a Christmas special.  Dying to see how she reacts to grumpy grandad.  

[panicked]

Eccleston for lyfe!!!!!!!!!! I really loved him as the doctor.

Wait until you get to "Empty Child".   That's the episode that sold it for me.  Plus?  

CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS.

Yes... That's pretty much the beginning of goodness.

Plus, you have to wait till Rose is gone. She's important and yadda yadda yadda, but I hate her and the episodes without her (ESPECIALLY THE ONES WITH MARTHA JONES) are the bestest

Captain Jack is the shizzniss!
Torchwood is another great show.
Donna is the BEST companion EVER

I love Doctor Who, but the Daleks are lame. I'm always disappointed to see a Dalek episode as the other Doctor Who villains are way better. The show improves very gradually but gets to awesome. You may want to watch Blink. If you don't like that one,you probably won't like the show.

[Deleted]

It does get better, but it remains cheesy. I forced my way through season 1, then enjoyed seasons 2-5, then just got bored of the whole thing lol.

I had to quote and bold,  because OMG I AM SO EXCITED! River was/is my favorite and it will be interesting to see when they place her.

Did you see this skit from the Catherine Tate show:

[Deleted]

I bring a Doctor Who lunch box to work everyday. I've made friends in my building because of it.

[Dumbledork]

Imma let you all finish this Doctor lovefest, but Amy and Rory were the best companions of all time. 

And even dumb Clara knows that Eleven is the best.

[meshaliuknits]

Missing Dr Who and Firefly is where I loose my geek street cred. They're those things that I MEAN to watch, but never quite get around to.

[taratru]

Ugh. Dooonnnnnna. No likey. I wish Amy and Rory would have been with Doctor 10.

[pixy0stix]

Torchwood fucked me up. I'm not sure if I could handle Dr. Who if it's like Torchwood.

Oh yes, the threatening salt and pepper shakers who couldn't navigate stairs originally. I laugh at some of these alien villains too because I never watched as a kid. I don't find them or the cyber men all that intimidating. But they come up with other baddies that are actually (at least somewhat) intimidating. 

Promise me that you'll watch up to "Blink". Hands down the best episode in the series imho. If you still think it's all too cheesy, then you have my permission to stop watching.

Doctor Who is much lighter than Torchwood.  Torchwood is like Doctor Who's older emo cousin.  Doctor Who is much more family oriented and Torchwood is definitely adult television.

[AJL]

It totally gets better.
Doctor Ten IS the best Doctor.
Keep on watching.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

Amy and Rory for LYFE. Donna can suck it. I hated her.

Ten and Eleven, I cannot choose.
