  It uses no bad language but higher vocabulary as to not talk down to kids. Special effects are terrible but costumes were excellent and always some monster for the Doctor to save the universe from. I recommend the Tom Baker years as the Doctor. He was the longest running and most popular. Episodes with the Daleks as villains were most popular.

  It was the longest running science fiction series in history from ~1960-1989.

    They are on DVD and tape and while a tv series were usually set-up as 3-6 half hour installments - so on tape they are put together so they're like a film with a running time of 1.5 hours to 2.5. Then it's off to save yet another planet from another villain.

    this excellent film IMO will appeal to children of various ages,
    including older ones in their second and third childhoods. Great
    effects, good story and great multi-character performances by
    Tony Randall. And not to forget the ever-lovely Barbara Eden! - AH.

  Look up Ray Harryhausen, master of stop-motion and other special effects in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
  

  • Ray Harryhausen   (Open in New Window)

  Jason and the Argonauts (1963). I still jump when the skeletons come up from out of the earth.

    I just received "Them" and "Creature from the Black Lagoon" from Amazon.

    And I've noticed the image qualities of these old black & white films are quite sharp and clear on DVD's.
