   Hey, it could still happen! When they revived Roseanne, they ignored the   
   ridiculous last years. A DW revival could ignore the ridiculous last   
   Doctors.

   That sounds about right. As well as being overly sexed up, it also   
   somehow manages to be childish. It's a family show at its core, but   
   families include teenagers and parents. It shouldn't be *just* for   
   people whose minds aren't fully developed.   
      
   Don't forget that this critique is coming from someone currently   
   marathoning My Little Pony. :\
