Topic: Doctor Who in America


  
  Doctor Who in America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doctor Who in America refers to the broadcast history of the long running British science fiction television series Doctor Who in the United States.
In 1978, Tom Baker's first four seasons as the Doctor were sold to PBS public broadcasting stations across the United States.
This time, though, Time-Life was ready to have the Doctor poised for American consumption, by having stage and screen actor Howard Da Silva read prerecorded prologues and teasers for the next episode which would inform the viewer as to what was going on.

 Doctor Who — Article: Doctor Who in America
In America, it is thought of as a very weird show, and is often grouped mentally with the likes of Monty Python (partially because British shows are not as prevalent there as here in Australia).
Doctor Who is a recent phenomenon there — it has only been widely shown since 1978 (and even then not on the major networks), and has not had 25-odd years to establish itself.
The true test of the number and vitality of Whovians (Whovians, incidentally, originated as a term through the Doctor Who Fan Club of America — their newsletter is called Whovian Times) in the area came with ‘Doctor’n the TARDIS’.

 America's favorite doctor remembered   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Benjamin Spock, who was born in 1903 and died March 16, truly was a man of the American century.
Maier, who wrote this book with the cooperation but not under the control of Spock and his family, describes a character who is a uniquely American blend of idealism and moralism, a popularizer who distilled Freudian theory into friendly phrases and American colloquialisms.
Most fascinating is the story of Jane Chaney, Spock's spirited first wife, who labored as stenographer, typist, fact-checker, and morale builder through the writing of his famous book, only to find herself eclipsed by his growing fame through the rest of their calamitous marriage.

I rarely visit doctors, I really can’t stand going to the doctor, and because in Canada you can wait a small lifetime to ever have anyone with a medical degree look at what the fuck might be wrong with you, it’s generally not worth the effort.
To say that the doctor did not display his shingle with pride is an understatement, but after spending 90 minutes there, it became more and more obvious as to why.
Then, the doctor went to another exam room to administer a West Nile vaccine, and in the course of doing so, began explaining to the woman that the real root cause of the spread of AIDS could be squarely blamed on one homosexual Pan-Am flight attendant.

Doctor Spock said his work was an effort to help parents trust their own natural abilities in caring for their children.
Doctor Spock considered his mother, Mildred Spock, to be the major influence on his personal and professional life.
Some people said Doctor Spock’s teachings were to blame for the way young people in the nineteen sixties and seventies rebelled against the rules of society.

 Feedback — Doctor Who — Who in America   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
When the Beeb priced old episodes out of everyone’s hands, the outlets who had carried it (the PBS stations, and then later cable’s Sci-Fi Channel) were forced to drop it.
There aren’t enough devoted Who fans who are willing to be late for work and school five days a week to keep it on the air here.
The impression we get in America because of all this is that, yes, the BBC is proud of Doctor Who, but also embarrassed by it, and they try and kill it after it builds some audience.
