    Yeah, you thing *that* was crap? They released another trailer a few months back that was even more 'Power Rangers' OTT.

    "Every time there's a bad smell, blame it on the dog." Pretty much sums up my opinion of this entire series.

    They should've used "wacky lump" instead of zany dash.
    I'd watch it, if it had a wacky lump of Ghostbusters.
    But only the one with Forest Tucker and Larry Storch and the gorilla, Tracy.

    Not only the video starts looking like a fake SNL trailer it only gets worse by the time it starts using the same music from the star trek trailer, I was kind expecting that by the end Kirk would show up and kick K9 out.

    As Jack Burton would say: I've been all over this wide world of ours, and I've seen a lot of things so let me give you a little advice. The next time some producer slams you're favorite ass down in a comfy chair and asks you if you want to see something "Zany," you just do what old Dr Emilio Lizardo does. Do I want to see something you would describe as "Zany?" No.

    Im confused!!! I heard that a full CGI cartoon for K9 was in the works. But now I see this tripe instead. Its co-owned or something, eh!!?? And why the hell does he sound like a dodgy childrens presenter. Let him snort a line of coke and he's 95% there! Ohhhh someone kill it quickly...please!

    This is going to be amazingly awful. I like how his memory is wiped, so he doesnt mention Dr Who (and then get sued by the BBC), and how he looks different (so they dont get sued by the BBC). I wonder when 'The Physician' will make an appearance. Or 'Captain Jack Darkness'. Or 'the Balecks. Or 'The Robot Men'. I could go on....

    it must be noted.. other than "K-9"(that is NOT K9!) this actually has nothing to do with Doctor Who at all.

    thank god.

    Doctor Who's Next Top Companion: 15 young, model-slim, doe-eyed beauties compete to become 11's next twoo wuv, er, companion. Weekly challenges (screaming, fainting, getting into scrapes to drive the story) test their mettle as awkward plot devices! A panel of celebrity judges (Kylie Minogue, Richard Dawkins, David Hasselhoff) will decide at the end of each show which one get exterminated.

    I've got a few more ideas for them to try out:

    Tardis Total Makeover - each week, the Tardis visits a castle or space station in need of a facelift - use a celeb to "interview" the Tardis about the current work being done and have snappy conversations back and forth with the owner(s)

    Sonic Screwdriver Garage - each week a different vehicle is instantly repaired - the best part is that the show will only last 30 seconds, thus allowing SyFy to run the series and still give us 29.5 minutes of the same commercials for Warehouse 13, Movie of the Week, and Male Enhancement Product.
