Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who?

stinkfish writes "I am a big fan of science fiction, especially good TV science fiction. For some reason Dr. Who is a show I have watched very little of. My question to Slashdot is, whats the best strategy for enjoying this classic show? Looking at the wikipedia page on Dr. who, I see there are 11 Doctors, so is hard to pick a good starting point. If it was just up to me, I would start watching from the very beginning. But I know my wife would not watch a show that dated, though she is a science fiction fan herself and enjoyed a few seasons of Torchwood. So where do I start? Here's an article on this topic; is there more to say?"

Sorry, but if you're not under 14 years old, Dr. Who is not for you. I really is horrible scifi, with trite plots and horrible acting, across the spectrum. It was made for kids in the UK, but somehow when it crossed the pond it was marketed to adults. *shrug*
