The City of D...You might give them another shot. <br /><br />The City of Death was written by Douglas Adams under a pseudonym and is fantastic. The Pirate Planet was also written by Adams as is just great goofy fun. Both are the 4th Doctor. <br /><br />The Green Death is an interesting 3rd Doctor story that holds up really well. I mean it has giant man eating maggots with teeth. Good stuff. <br /><br />The Three Doctors is not the best but is worth watching to see how different yet the same the first three Doctors were. My favorite moment is when the 1st Doctor gets frustrated with the Second and Third and calls them "The dandy and the fool."<br /><br />I don't know how long it has been since you have given them a shot, but Riley (who, dear god, is now 15) has watched all of the new series and recently started watching the classics. He enjoys them a lot because he catches little inside jokes that were in the new serials but missed them on his first watch through. He has also said, watching them makes him understand why the Doctor has such an affinity for humans (the Time Lords banished the 3rd Doctor to Earth for several years).

I ...Strangeite - I just never got into classic Who. I know that makes me a terrible fan, but I don't know, just wasn't my schtick. I am a fan of the scarf, though. I actually don't let the girls watch the new ones without pre-watching because they sometimes get pretty scary. Although, in my opinion, the Vashta Nerada and the Weeping Angels are the scariest and they are Brynna's favorites. She it completely nonplussed by the Daleks.

In our househo...Of course that is a parenting win.<br /><br />In our household we don't watch much TV anymore but have discovered that the classic Doctor Who's on Netflix are the perfect family show to watch right before bed. <br /><br />30 minutes long, gripping stories, scary enough to keep the kids enthralled but fx crappy enough not to keep them awake at night. Just perfect. <br /><br />One of these days we will get around to watching the new Doctor but for right now the early Doctors are keeping our family entertained.<br /><br />Plus I love the fact that my 2 year old now randomly mentions the Doctor and the TARDIS. And the fact that my 6 year old can't decide if she wants to be Sarah Jane or Romana for Halloween.
