What the heck, I'm watching the old ones on 20 yr old VHS.

Sci-Fi has been the pits for a long time, I'm glad to see it.

What about the old stuff?

There's 26 seasons of Oldskool Who in the BBC archives.* You're lucky if you can find anything other than Tom Baker (fourth doctor) on PBS or BBC America (and the BBCA Who is seriously {edited|eviscerated}- there's lots of Who available to the enthusiasts - would it hurt 'em that much to get it on the air?

Yeah, some of it's Bad, but a lot of it's pretty damned good.

* More like ~26. Several Hartnell and Troughton episodes are missing.

Again. SCI-FI and BBC miss the mark

First, calling the recent resurrection of Doctor Who the first series and noting an option for series two is sacrilege and spits on the work done by thousands of individuals over more than thirty years. THAT was the first series. This is just the latest continuation.

Second, there should have been a deal for the entirety of the series from Hartnell onward.

Third, SCI-FI knows as much about science fiction as USA Network does and it constantly shows with their killing of Farscape, stuntcasting on SG-1, showing The Flinstones, and so forth.

I'll be very resistant to applauding this until SCI-FI shows they can stick with anything longer than it takes for them to be distracted by something shiny like a child with ADD.
