I wondered that.
Stands on it's own more than the third, I suppose.
The second feels like a bridge between the first and the third.
Bith great films though.
I enjoyed it.
It used to be on TV when I was young, and I enjoyed it.
Years later, I bought it on DVD and watched it all again.
A couple of years ago, it was rerun on TV again so I caught the odd episode, but not religiously.
It's looked date now, but can be nostalgic if you enjoyed it as a kid.
Very sad news.
I used to love The Time Tunnel.
Yes, I enjoyed the first one the most.
But remember enjoying the second one.
I intended to watch it on the 18th as well, but didn't get round to it.
The first film tends to go with little explanation of the villains, thus making them more mysterious and unknown. Often this is seen as scarier in horror movies.
They weren't going for back story in the original. It wasn't until the sequels that we even got to know the real names of the villains.
Consequently, Grandpa got no real explanation other than just being there. I probably prefer it that way. Adds to the sense of confusion and panic in this film.
They're both different. But both good.
Frasier is probably smarter, but does manage to balance highbrow comedy with quite silly comedy and farce.
Cheers is more generic, but the characters are likeable enough for it to work.
If I had to pick a favourite, I'd go with Frasier. I probably watch that more often than Cheers. But not isnulting either.
Why would there be an objection?
He's a Doctor. It's hardly the hugest stretch to work out why somebody would call you; "Doc".
Bear in mind, on their "first" meeting, Doc thought that Marty was somebody trying to play a practical joke on him by pretending to be a time traveller from the future. He may have just assumed Marty was calling him a casual name to imply familiarity as part of the joke.
And it wouldn't really have added anything to the plot for them to have a discussion as to what Doc preferred to be called. It would've slowed down the story, if anything. And they'd already done the; "Hey. Dad. George.... You on the bike" joke with Marty being unsure what to call his dad. And the similar; "You're my mum...." dialogue with Lorraine. Having that confusion a third time might have felt like they were overdoing it.
