Weekend Discussion Thread: Into the Tardis We Go

Speaking of Dr. Who, alert regular Paul writes:

Hi. How about a weekend discussion thread about favorite “Dr. Who” references on MST3k? “Dr. Who” recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of its debut on television. MST3k just recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its debut. The upcoming “Dr. Who” Christmas special will be airing this month, ushering in the next Doctor. I feel its rather appropriate to include a weekend discussion thread about this. The fan base of MST3k and Dr. Who have a lot in common. Entertainment Weekly once listed “Dr. Who” and MST3k as the No.1 and No. 4 greatest cult TV shows of all time. MST3k and “Dr. Who” fans were regularly engaged in taping episodes near the start of their runs, with early “Dr. Who” fans taping episodes on audio tape as video cassette recording didn’t yet exist, including many episodes whose videotape masters no longer exist or are lost for now, doing their part to preserve them. MST3k fans have been taping episodes since the KTMA days and have made them available through tape trading and the Internet. So with that, I think we should all list our favorite Dr. Who riffs made during the show, even though I haven’t watched much of Dr. Who at all.

My favorite Dr. Who riff is in Overdrawn at the Memory Bank: “Dr. Who…the Hell Cares!”

Simple yet effective riff. What’s yours

Have at it!
