User Reviews

I love this just as much as its revival. If you want a good place to start, try Remembrance of the Daleks. The Mind Robber is the best!

Personally, I think the 60s episodes are amazing. Either way don't expect too much and you'll enjoy Classic Who.

Loved this as a kid but when I tried to watch it w/ my daughter we were laughing so hard. In 1st episode monster was made out of bubble wrap

Grew up watching this all the time! The new seasons seem a little more aimed at a younger audience than the rest, but still good

I came to the series during the Matt Smith years and those three seasons are some of my family’s favorite television ever. Unforgettable!

Classic science fiction, if a little inconsistent at times. Pacing is a bit odd given things today. So that might put off some.

An amazing show that is more fun to laugh at now than to take at face value. Still holds up though.

Great show. He is ultimately a peace keeper

Greatest show of all time, without a doubt

It's incredible how iconic such a low-budget sci-fi can become; it walked before the reboot could run.

Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is a television programme featuring British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. The BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning programme debuted on Channel 4 in 2004. In each episode, Ramsay visits a failing restaurant and acts as a troubleshooter to help improve the establishment in just one week. Ramsay revisits the restaurant a few months later to see how business has fared in his absence. Episodes from series one and two have been re-edited with additional new material as Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Revisited; they featured Ramsay checking up on restaurants a year or more after he attended to them. In October 2009 Ramsay announced that after his four-year contract expired in 2011 he would not continue with Kitchen Nightmares and would instead work on his other shows.

Pinky and the Brain

Pinky and Brain are genetically enhanced laboratory mice who reside in a cage in the Acme Labs research facility. Brain is self-centered and scheming; Pinky is good-natured but feebleminded. In each episode, Brain devises a new plan to take over the world, which ultimately ends in failure, usually due to Pinky's idiocy, the impossibility of Brain's plan, Brain's own arrogance, or just circumstances beyond their control.

Popeye the Sailor

Follows the adventures of the famed spinach-eating sailor man. Popeye is one of the most popular cartoon characters of all time.
