Same, I did get my wife to watch, but my friends tend to view it as too low budget or campy.

Also, it is a bit daunting for some to explain the mythos, why the 9th doctor was such a great entry point.


Yeah, when I introduce people to him I tend to skip to the 10th initially as well. I like the 9th but I think they hit their stride later, easier for people to get into. I generally have people skip the first season of Star Trek next gen/ds9 as well, though avoiding the myth arc in the latter. 


I strongly disagree...not only because 9 was absolutely needed to explain the relationship between Rose and the Doctor (and various other plot points) but because it was one of the most consistently wonderful series in the show (post reboot). It was consistent and tightly written, with an overall plot that all came together beautifully at the end.

I don't understand the logic behind skipping 9 and jumping right into 10...If you want to skip the more campy, low budget stuff (and why would you want to skip that?!), skip right to 11...
