Dr Who?
I was delighted to read that Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) is showing Dr. Who. A fan since early childhood, I watched the very first episode ever shown. My imagination was captured and I continued to watch as the Doctor morphed into various reincarnations more or less liked than the previous one.

The Daleks were special. I could do a pretty good impersonation of their electronic voice. Many kids ran around with toilet plungers making odd sounds.

I remember my younger brother and sister hiding behind the sofa when the monsters appeared. Searching through the OPB site I came across a link to Wikipedia that actually has an article on the phrase "behind the sofa", that originated from terified kids watching Dr. Who.

America is only up to the ninth Doctor, played by Christopher Ecclestone.

So Thursday nights find me eagerly awaiting Dr. Who once again although, this time at the later time of 10pm. There is also a half-hour 'making of' show that follows.

Unfortunately, I do not have a sofa to hide behind when the monsters appear....
