Dr. Who is shown by the PBS station KTEH in San Jose, CA every night at
7:30.  It used to be on at 6:00 but enough people complained that it
was too early that KTEH moved it.  They showed the 20th anniversary
special the week after it was shown in England because that was the
first night of a pledge period.  They had their most successful pledge
night ever.

They also show a complete story every Saturday night at 11:15.  They
first showed all the Davison episodes that way but those are now on the
regular weeknight schedule.  They are repeating the Baker episodes
on the Saturday night shows.

They have shown all of the Davison episodes up to the end of last season.
I don't know when they plan to start showing the current season.

The San  Francisco PBS station KQED also shows Dr. Who once a week.
I think they're running some Baker epsisodes.  I don't pay much attention
because KTEH does so well for us.

There is also a bookstore here (Books Inc.) that has a large collection
of Dr. Who material.  I think the manager of this store (in Town and Country
Village, San Jose, for any locals reading) must be a fan because the other
stores in the chain do not sell the material.

Seeing all the episodes so close together is certainly different from
waiting a whole week to find out what happens as I used to have to do
in England.  Of course the drawback is that the series is over much
faster.

Now here's a trivia question.  At the end of it's first season on the
BBC Dr. Who was replaced for the Summer by a another SF series which
became rather famous.  What was it?  (It never measured up to Dr. Who.)
