I grew up on the Baker Who stuff via UHF channel. I'd catch some cool Japanese cartoons, Ultra Man, and then Tom Baker as the Doctor. Absolute classics. To me, it is the best Who.
As for the nuWho era. I thought Ecelston was the best actual Doctor but the better stories came in the Tenant run. The Matt stuff wasn't bad and some of it even great but I have problems with Moffat's style (I hated his Sherlock).
I gave the old guy a chance for 6 episodes and that was enough to push me off the ship for good. No idea if the lady in it now is any good nor do I have any interest in finding out. It's only rerun Who for me if at all.
I agree with the sentiment that few if any newer versions of honored IP are any good at all. Star Wars, Star Trek, comic books & their movies, Terminator, you name it.
