So although it's a show of whimsy, be prepared to cry your eyes out too. Although, when you least expect it, the show knows just how to hit you where it hurts. Typically, each episode travels to a new time period or galaxy (often both) where the Doctor and companions of the moment have wild adventures while escaping the evil clutches of the Daleks and Cybermen. ![]() Why you should watch: If you're looking for something a little less intense and more whimsical, Doctor Who is the show for you. Together with his (or her!) human companions, The Doctor regularly saves the world from destruction with his (or her!) quick wit and timey-wimey adventures. What it's about: The Doctor, a humanoid alien of an extinct race called the Time Lords, travels the universe in his (or her!) Tardis, a time-traveling spaceship that takes that shape of a phone booth.
