We don't have a TV, but when I can catch it, I watch the Simpsons and Doctor Who. Those two shows ROCK!!! And there's loads of clips from them on YouTube and all, so I can watch the old episodes as well.

Well, Rose was great. I've never watched anything that had me more emotional than "Doomsday"... *sniffles*
And Martha's pretty good...I think she seems a good match for the Doctor, and I think she realizes that she's not just being brought along to replace Rose. She's curious about Rose, and she wants to find out things like Rose did....there might be some conflict over that in future episodes...I dunno, but as she seems pretty attracted to the Doctor already (how typical *sigh*) she might feel jealous that Rose will always be able to get betweeen her and him. Or maybe that's too Rose-ish, as Rose could be jealous - "School Reunion", now that was funny, seeing her and Sarah Jane fighting! - but I think they're both good.
It's a question like whether David Tennant is better than Christopher Eccleston. My little brothers all prefer Tennant cos he's funnier, but Eccleston was funny as well. He was happily rude, and Tennant's unconsciously rude...and a lot more gobby.
I'll have to see whether there's any really great episodes with Martha in before I make up my mind over that question. Though "The Shakespearean Code" was one of the best ones I've seen so far. Shakey is such a flirt! ROFL! You know the sonnet he starts saying to Martha at the end? I've got that in my English GCSE, so when it came on I was all like, "Hey! I know that!"
Oh dear, now I've rambled you all to death. Bad Twit, down Twit, back in your padded cell.

I really agree with you in the Martha/Rose comparison. They're both good in different ways.
As to which Doctor is better, I prefer David Tennant, which is surprising, as when I saw him first at the end of The Parting of the Ways, and we saw that grin, it was like "urgh!"
But, having gotten used to him, he's proving quite a good Doctor.
And yes, the Shakespeare one was brilliant!
Shakespeare: "To be or not to be. That is the question"
Doctor: "You should use that."
Shakespeare: [shrugs] "Hmm, 's a bit pretentious."
*snort* *goes off into hysterical laughing fit*
Ahem.
Well, yes, I suppose we need to give Martha a whole series before we can really pass judgement.
Wow, I'm a Doctor Who nerd! Whoo!
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.
Yep, it's great with the Doctor quoting Shakespeare all the time and S. is going "I could use that!" And all those Harry Potter references creeping in, LOL!
What's Tennant's accent like as Barty Crouch Jr? I haven't seen GOF (if it comes to that, I haven't seen any HP films as I don't think they're that great).
Y'know, the official term for a Doctor Who fan is a "Whovian."
"TV makes sense. It has logic, structure, rules, and likeable leading men. In life, we have this. We have you." -Abed Nadir
Ooh, Whovian. Sounds funny! From what I remember, Tennant's accent is his English DW accent in GOF, but, as he only has about four or five lines, it's hard to recall. I do seem to remember him having a slight twang, with some form of regional dialect, but I may be wrong. In any case, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have his natural Scottish accent.

Shows Still Running American Idol The Dresden Files (Is it still running? Well, actually, I mostly like Murphy and also that really cute vampire queen, whatever her name was.)
Heroes Life on the D-List Last Comic Standing (And for once, it looks like I actually won't hate the host this season. AWESOME!)
Lost Painkiller Jane (I like Jane's cute butch-ish best friend)
Survivor Traveler I think that's it. Probably. I mean, I watch other shows, but those are the ones I really enjoy. Even though Painkiller Jane's writers suck.
Cancelled Shows (Guaranteed to be a much longer list!)
Alias Angel Australia's Next Top Model (Still running in Australia, I think, but not in the US. It's like America's Next Top Model, but these girls don't ever sensor their thoughts, and they know how to throw down!)
Average Joe The Book of Daniel Buffy the Vampire Slayer Celebrity Mole (Screw the regular Mole, I want to see the C-listers trying to decipher the most ridiculously difficult "clues" in history to determine who is screwing up their chance to win the money for a charity of their choice!)
Charmed Commander in Chief Daria Dark Angel Flavor of Love (Well, mostly just seeing the clip of Pumkin spitting on New York and New York grabbing her and... well, you've probably seen it at least once.)
Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency (I'll tell you why. Janice Dickinson = Insanity. Insanity = GREAT TV!)
Jericho Joan of Arcadia Joe Millionaire (This was an evil show. I mean, first you have a bunch of girls fighting for the man of their dreams. But it turns out the man of their dreams is liar and also not rich. Also, he finds out he picked a gold-digging whore. So sad...ly satisfying!)
John Doe Odyssey 5 Rock Star (Even though they never had any actual "rock" stars on the show unless you count Dilana or Storm Large.)
Smith Wonderfalls X-Files And I forgot Daybreak. Someone else said it, so I was reminded. How could they cancel Taye Diggs?
"My form is a filthy type of yours." -the Creature, Frankenstein
And all those Harry Potter references creeping in, LOL!
