Re: Beginnings

Hi, hrh!

That's funny that we both had the same experience of watching Dr. Who on PBS as kids.  My mom was a bit concerned about the violence in it as well, but luckily she never stopped my brother and me from watching it. She would just say, "Turn it off if it scares you too much."  I remember that the only episodes that really scared me were "The Robots of Death" and anything involving the Daleks--but even so, I never turned the TV off during Dr.  Who.  :)

Have you noticed that AARP seems to be the main sponsor of SJA on Sci Fi?  At least, judging by the number of commercials for AARP, that seems to be the case.  (For non-Yankees reading this messsage, AARP is the American Association of Retired Persons.)  To me, that says that Sci Fi expects Baby Boomers, not kids, to be the main viewing audience for SJA.  It makes sense, since Sarah Jane belongs to the Boomer generation.  I just hope that enough people are actually tuning in to SJA here in the States.  I know that a lot of my friends would love to watch SJA, but they've had to cancel their cable/satellite service b/c they just can't afford it in this economy.  :(  At some point I think I'll have my cable-less friends over to watch the DVD's of SJA...just doing my part to spread the love.  :)

Take care!
