Nah -- if you lived in one of the US cities where the Public Broadcasting station carried Tom Baker's episodes in the mid-late 1970s and into the 1980s, you could easily become a fanatic. In Tallahassee, 1981, Dr. Who came on each evening around 6pm (I can't remember for sure). My 2-year-old would come running through the house yelling "Doc-tah Hoo! Doc-tah Hoo!" when he heard the opening theme. The only other show to capture his attention was M*A*S*H. Same behavior, except shouting "Helicopters!"
