So you all chipped in to keep DW on the air? Fair play, US fans

It's such a crying shame that more and more PBS stations are loosing Dr Who. Maryland Public Television just stopped airing Classic Dr Who a month ago after being on for 25 years in the movie format. Making MPT the last PBS station to show Classic whos in the movie format.

[PGMEagle]

I belive MPT is the only remaining PBS station that still airs classic Dr Who's in the Movie format.

The Independent Florida Alligator? Do they print "Alligations" about people? Ha ha ha ha ha... sorry.

Anyway, shows anyone who got annoyed at the BBC talking over end credits how annoying this could *really* be... though recently they've been just as bad in this respect.

As a kid, I would stay in all day (and up all night) to watch these marathons. Our local PBS station even managed to land an interview with the third Doctor. Sadly, PBS doesn't air these anymore -- which is a crime. The only Who you can see on US TV is the new series on the SciFi Channel -- interrupted with crappy commercials.

I saw the new series on WLIW 21 New York City, but sadly, it's only THE FIRST SEASON, luckily, it shows how the episode was made. My favorite? "Dalek". Well, I love that Sci-Fi Channel. It airs Doctor Who and my mom loves the new version of "Battlestar Galactica", and oh! P.S. "Battlestar Galactica" is going to take a year-long break due to the writer's strike, Wait until next year to see the next adventure and see a destroyed Earth 600 years from now. Wait 'til next year! Wait 'til Next year.

"Battlestar Galactica" has now finally come to a close after four seasons (five, or not), they were actually on an Earth destroyed 2,000 years earlier, and the Earth they land on? Ours, in the world of "Battlestar Galactica". Live long and prosper.

What are the current US broadcasters of Doctor Who?

Kinda neat for a PBS station to pick up Star Trek. I wish PBS was more into that sort of thing. Picking up non-educational related programming when convenient (my station used to show the syndie "Wonderful World of Disney" in the 80's). If PBS was more a state-owned broadcaster from Day One, they probably would've been more in that level.

Funny if this station didn't pick up any anime to air there as well (kinda picture ones like Urusei Yatsura being perfect for late Saturday nights).

It's always interesting to see this kind of footage. Thanks for sharing!
