Sorry Trekkies, this fact is set to stun: Doctor Who is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as not only the longest running sci-fi television show, but the most successful in terms of ratings. This relic represents the golden era of Who featuring the first six actors to portray the good doctor. I watched quite a few of the Tom Baker era episodes as a child and I usually had no idea what was going on and it actually kinda frightened me. But I particularly enjoyed the opening and closing theme song which has to be the hardest hitting television theme ever, especially when combined with the mind altering visuals. Knight Rider comes in a close second.
