The humor of the Marx Brothers is so much of the time absolutely timelessly funny

I had been wondering why the final needle drop in the Severance season 2 finale had sounded so familiar, as I hadn’t heard the original version before. Then I remembered it was cause I’d seen it on The Muppet Show

Galidor has been referenced in currently the 4th most trending gaming based YouTube video… what a world we live in

You would never expect all but forgotten early 80s picture book K9 and the Zeta Rescue to feature the Time Lords with these radical, surreal, larger than life redesigns but I kind of vibe with them, there’s an experimental 60s animation feel to them that I really like

I love the 6th Doctor & Peri’s relationship so much, the way they see past the outer fronts that others judge them for and care so deeply for everything the other person is, their bickering becoming just their way of showing that… they make me insane sometimes

ON THIS DAY IN DOCTOR WHO COMICS HISTORY: We begin with 2 1 part Doctor Who Adventures stories- 10th Doctor & Heather adventure “Junk Food” from 2010’s #151, & 12th Doctor & Clara tale “The Wheelers” from 2015’s #361. (1/3)

This whole photoshoot is peak

I don’t want to know how many hours I’ve spent just looking at random Classic Who production photos on Tragical History Tour… one of the best sites ever created

The Sixth Doctor isn’t quite my favorite Doctor, but in a way he really embodies the qualities I like about the character in general. He has quite a few qualities that make him difficult to get along with, but beneath them it’s always clear how driven he is to make things right.

ON THIS DAY IN DOCTOR WHO COMICS HISTORY: The 2nd ever Doctor Who comic story, “The Therovian Quest” featuring the 1st Doctor & his grandchildren John & Gillian, has its first part published in 1965 in TV Comic #684. (1/4)

It’s kinda sad we’re past the age of companions joining the Doctor by entering the TARDIS expecting it to be an actual police box.

ON THIS DAY IN DOCTOR WHO COMICS HISTORY: “The Arkwood Experiments”, the 3rd Doctor’s first ever comic story & the first comic appearance of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, has its Part One published in 1970 in TV Comic #944. (1/4)

I’m glad Doctor Who and the Silurians got a suitably great VHS cover, even if the likeness of Jon Pertwee is a little ropey

ON THIS DAY IN DOCTOR WHO COMICS HISTORY: Pt. 1 of “The Keep”, the 8th Doctor’s 2nd story in Doctor Who Magazine, is published in 1997’s #248. 1986’s #109 contains “Revelation”, featuring the 6th Doctor, Peri, Frobisher, and the Cybermen. (1/2)

Choose your fighter:

Mel & Ace’s interactions in Dragonfire are so entertaining, as much as I’d never want to change what came next on TV I wish we could have had more of them together. And yes I know about the audios before I get a dozen comments about those!

ON THIS DAY IN DOCTOR WHO COMICS HISTORY: 1966 sees two releases: Pt. 1 of The Daleks serial “The Archives of Phryne” in TV Century 21 #52 & the 4th & final part of 1st Doctor, John, & Gillian tale “A Christmas Story” in TV Comic #735. (1/5)

I love all the costumes Barbara Benedetti wears as the Doctor throughout her 4 fan films in the role, but it peaks in her finale, Broken Doors. A really nice mix of the casual blouse and that jacket with epaulets, and an unconventional fit really makes it IMO

I’ve found precious few Star Trek: Deep Space Nine outtakes but Avery Brooks and John DeLancie make one of my favorites from the franchise

ON THIS DAY IN DOCTOR WHO COMICS HISTORY: The 5th Doctor makes his first comics appearance in Pt. 1 of “The Tides of Time”, printed in 1982’s Doctor Who Monthly #61 alongside Sea Devil backup “Devil of the Deep” and a TV Century 21 Dalek strip reprint. (1/5)

Search Out Space is such a charming relic- certainly not something you should go into expecting proper Doctor Who, but it’s fun to see McCoy & Aldred just having such a fun time in an energetic presentation of science facts you should probably know already, but have never learned so entertainingly

Of the many insane things the Doctor Who TV Movie expects you to just go with, this rig the Master is conveniently able to lock the Doctor up in almost flies under the radar, but we shouldn’t be ignoring the insane continuation of the Jesus imagery with the crown of thorns.

ON THIS DAY IN DOCTOR WHO COMICS HISTORY: Doctor Who: A Marvel Monthly #49 is released in 1981, featuring Pt. 1 of 4th Doctor & K9 adventure “The Life Bringer” and the 1 part Dæmon-centric backup “Voyage to the Edge of the Universe”. (1/5)

I really love John Debney’s take on the Doctor Who theme for the TV Movie. Though I tend to prefer arrangements with a bit more “mystery” in them, this one nails the bombast and has some lovely flourishes like how it uses the B section to set up the main key for the A section.

ON THIS DAY IN DOCTOR WHO COMICS HISTORY: Two 10th Doctor comics release on this day in 2010- the 1 part “The Highest Stake” with Heather McCrimmon in Doctor Who Adventures #148 & Pt. 2 of “The Crimson Hand”, the incarnation’s last story in Doctor Who Magazine in #417. (1/3)

Shadow the Hedgehog in a 1994 Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic? More likely than you’d think

One of the first things I’d do in a time machine is go see Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure- I’m always drawn to the weird little corners of franchises like this and this has to be a doozy. I’ve done the audio but I don’t think it can compare.

ON THIS DAY IN DOCTOR WHO COMICS HISTORY: The first appearance of comics-exclusive companion Heather McCrimmon, 1 part 10th Doctor adventure “The Chromosome Connection”, is released in 2009 in Doctor Who Adventures #196. (1/3)

Fun Sulu & Chekhov moment in the Star Trekbbook I’m reading
