I also just recently found this show on the PBS station in Georgia. My mom (an avid Dr. Who fan from the beginning) burned me her discs and gave them to me. So far I am still in season 1 and I am thoroughly enjoying it.
I remember very little from the originals, except the Daleks, K-9, and the Tardis (vague images of what it looked like inside...I rememeber a lot of white)
Guess Tom Baker would be my favorite original series Doctor since he is the one I really remember the best.
I'm sticking with this new show...seems very well written and in keeping with the original series.
