[<\/strong> \"Neutral\" Mood:<\/strong> Neutral ]<\/strong>
I’ve been watching "The Sarah Jane Adventures".<\/p>\n

Check that- *trying* to watch.<\/p>\n

I’ve been a Doctor Who fan since 1978. I remember that it was basically a kids’ show, flights of fancy across time and space with wondrous monsters and aliens, a funny guy with a scarf who traveled in a blue police box- heck, you all know the story. And you all loved it as well. Right? \"Question\" <\/p>\n

Well, "Sarah Jane" is basically the same deal, only without the police box or the funny guy. Does have Sarah Jane, though, and that’s still not a loss, even after thirty years. Right? \"Question\" But it just doesn’t do it for me. Maybe it’s because it’s still for kids, and I’m older. (*Physically*, anyroad. The emotional factor is still out with the jury.)<\/p>\n

But I don’t think so.<\/p>\n

I think that "Sarah Jane" is suffering from "writer-itis", a writing staff overextended from working on three shows more or less at the same time. Maybe a new staff for it alone might be best. I hear noise from down the whisper-stream that the show’s being retooled for an older audience next series. Don’t know if I entirely want that, either. I think that kids need something to capture their imagination, as DW did for me all those years ago. This could be it.<\/p>\n

So, what happens at the close of the day? I don’t know. Just needed to put this down for the record, and since they give me this wonderful place to rant in, why not?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
