It doesn't take itself too seriously, so you don't need a whole lot of deep backstory. Most of the longer-term backstory is pretty camp anyway. ;) At the same time, I think the only reason it and the other UK shows are represented in the top ten is that US shows are between seasons. But that'll help people get a little more perspective - it's a good idea to see media from outside your little corner of the planet sometimes. And US people in particular do eternally need more perspective. We've grabbed last weekend's but won't watch it until we have the finale. For us a big advantage of BT (or a PVR) is not having to wait a week or two after a cliffhanger. ;) Doctor Who is easy to jump into, particularly the 2003+ series (or just the David Tennant ones).

Recently, it's been able to break a lot of Sci-Fi barriers. If you want to start, starting fresh from the 2003 series continuation works very well to catch you up to speed. I don't think anyone has seen all episodes, as a lot of the early episodes were lost and have never been obtained since. Rewards are out for them.

Like me. I don't get into a new series unless I can watch the whole thing from episode 1, and Doctor Who is so long that it's just not really possible. @#YLS#: Doctor Who is probably a good show, but it’s been running for far too long for a lot of people to get into it.

Word of the show is spread among friends and forums and it chopped up versions air on BBC America 6-9 months later. And it's more than just Americans that are into the show. We have a TON of Euros on our forums as well as Aussies (where Top Gear is fairly well known). Your "little" show really gets around. I've seen official estimates that Top Gear is watched by 385 million people worldwide (95% of those people are outside of the UK). @#YLS#:
