What Pond said!
Also, even back in the cheap, cheesy 60s, Doctor Who was clearly better than the Jetsons: you only need to hear that awesome theme to know that!

/extremely catchy keyboard bit
There's only one catchy keyboard bit you need to know feev, and that's, "diddle-dee-dum, diddle-dee-dum, diddle-dee-dum, oo-wooooooo-oooooooooooooooo." Classic stuff. The fact that they still use it today (but slightly updated, of course) shows just how immortal that tune is. As you know, having watched The Eleventh Hour by now. Right?

It just so happens tomorrow is Doctor Who's 47th anniversary,
Yep, a day I plan to celebrate by watching the first episode broadcast before moving onto some of the greatest stories ever whilst drinking alcohol and eating nachos! (It has to be said though that first ep 'An Unearthly Child' is easily a classic. If you haven't watched that yet, look it up if you can. The broadcasted version, not the unbroadcast pilot, that had a few tiny problems with it, but the one as transmitted is a classic, and one of my favourite opening episodes to a show ever! Full of mystery and wonderful ideas, especially for its time. Shame that not many people watched it the first time - it had the misfortune of being broadcast the day after Kennedy was assassinated.)

Dr WHO
hoooo hoooo hoooo, whaahahhahahah dadaaaaddddaaaaa
Regarding the TARDIS chronicles clip you posted, pablo: that's gotta be one of the most epic things on youtube i've ever seen! Bloody hell, now I'm really in the mood to watch a shedload of Doctor Who! First 13 episodes comprising 3 stories, I've decided: An Unearthly Child, The Daleks, and The Edge of Destruction. Guess which enemy makes their first appearance in the 2nd one?

My pleasure. I spent over an hour on Youtube looking for a good one, since there's such an abundance of them.Regarding the TARDIS chronicles clip you posted, pablo: that's gotta be one of the most epic things on youtube i've ever seen!

An hour? Wow. Have you thought about watching the show yet? I'm telling ya now, Series 5 (the first Matt Smith series that was on this year) is as good a place as any to start.

I'll give it a go one of these days, certainly.
Wow, stiff competition for the Doctors.
Yeah, I must admit, I am surprised at how well The Jetsons is doing. Maybe it's just me, but for a show that's stuck around for over 45 years, been an important part of both British and tv culture in general (you only need to type in "tom baker simpsons" on youtube to see that even in the US, it's got its fans), and is, most surprising of all, more popular than ever, you kinda get the feeling that it should be doing a lot better than this against a saturday morning cartoon, even if it's a Hanna Barbera one. I mean, stiff competition from the Jetsons? Really? Guess that wasn't as big here as everywhere else.

See, to be honest, if you had given me this poll a few years ago, I'd be tempted to vote for the Jetsons. While, yes, it is a cartoon, it was a very entertaining and well-made cartoon. I watched it regularly as a kid, and it wasn't even made when I was around. And, given that Doctor Who is a somewhat cult-show in places outside the UK, I'm not too surprised. I didn't say I wasn't upset, but I'm not as surprised as you think I'd be...
Now, of course, I'll be quite mad if DW doesn't advance. It is an amazing, show, despite not having such a huge following outside the UK.
Well, it has been a long time since I watched it, so maybe I'm not being fair. And I know there's every chance that Doctor Who won't advance if it went up against a big US show like, say, Lost or X Files, but I would prefer it to get past the first round, at least, especially when it's up against a show that hasn't been quite as big a hit as a lot of other shows in this tournament.

Well it can't go up against Lost or The X Files because they're in different decades, so only if they all advance out of their respective decades.
I know, pablo. I'm just being optimistic and thinking it'll get that far, tbh, even when it's gone up against all the other 60s shows out there.

Oh, I will certainly be upset if it doesn't make it past a cartoon show! It's so much better than that...
But, however far it makes it in the tournament, we will know the truth of television, right? It really is the greatest show of all time, right?
Doctor Who
Although I really do like The Jetsons as well. I grew up on that show.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I'm just wondering, for the people who voted for The Jetsons: why do you think it's the better show? Don't worry, i'm not gonna rant and rave about why Doctor Who's more awesome, I'm just interested in how it's so close.
