I'll add Dr. Who to the list - longest running sci-fi show for kids ever made. Campy cheese it may be but damn it was hilarious fun.
Follow Ups:
I'm a fan of all the various Dr. Who actors but feel that the series was at its peak with Tom Baker. I do love the way each different actor colored the character of Dr. Who to suit their own personalities. Baker and Jon Pertwee are my favorites but all are enjoyable.Sure, it's campy but it's also very entertaining.
Wouldn't you just love to have access to a Tardis for just one day? American phone booths were never as exciting as that classic London phone box!
I agree with you and those two were my favorite Doctors as well - Baker I grew up with and enjoyed his companions even K-9. I did not mind the guy who followed too much either - Peter Davidson. Then it all fell apart.They made a tv movie in the 80's with the guys from the movie Withnail and I. It tanked unfortunately. If they made it today they would need to tke a bit of the camp out and serious it up a bit.
I always wanted one Star Trek: TNG episode to have the Tardis mateiralize on the bridge - Tom Baker to come out and have some quick cameo line - "You haven't seen any daleks Have you?" Or "would you like a Jelly baby?"
They have had Baker's Doctor on the Simpsons in the background a few times with the comic book guy. I was amused. He lives on. I always wanted a robot Dalek but when I was in England they were impossible to find??? Weird - in North Ameica you can get this kind of crap - you'd think in London you could get some Dr. Who memorobilia given how long it was on the telly.
