Tom Baker was my first and my favorite. I got bored with Tennat and stopped watching the new series. Then when they announced the new guy Matt Smith I started watching again. I've now seen every elventh Doctor episode, so far. Looking forward to the 50th anniversary special and the Christmas special. Going to be very different this year, with the Doctor regenerating at the end. So for new series, Matt Smith is my favorite, so far. I've never liked the whole Time War nonsense. All the Time Lords had to do was go back in time to before Davros, creater of the Daleks was born, kill his granparents before his parents were born. No Davors, no Daleks, no Daleks no Time War.

I no longer have any videos on youtube. I removed them all. Most of what's on YouTube is not original content,. Even if you make a video yourself unless you made every part of it yourself you're probably violating somebody's copyright. I'd guess very few people who recored their own cover version of somebody elses song have written permission to use the song. I know of one very popuar Youtube cover artist who got shut down because he got too well known.

One of my favorite super sentais. I actually prefer the ending theme to the opening though,

I don't understand Youtube's selective copyright enforcement. Thousands (or is it millions?) of clips of copyrighted music and movies and TV shows get posted and are never blocked. I post two clips of 30 year old Japanese super hero opening and ending credits they're immediatly blocked (by Toho). The other clips from Rainbowman were not touched. Was it the music they object to having on Youtube? I also put some clips of Zone Fighter that no problems with but as soon as I included two with Godzilla those were immediatly blocked by Toho. I can't post ANYTHING from Toei without it being blocked. So no Kamen Rider or super sentai clips wiill be on youtube from me. How other people's videos don't get blocked I don't understand. Most of the tokusatsu I like is 30 years old, shouldn't it be out of copyright by now? I wouldn't post anything from Kikaida, Kikaida -01, Kamen Rider V3 or Inazuman because those were actually relesed on DVD in the US a few years ago so their copyrighted in US, again.

The audience for tokusatsu televesion was originally children, specificaly young boys. The shows have gone downhill in my opinion since the 1970s because the sponser, usually Bandai, had gained too much control and they changed who the core audience is, its now young women. The original Kamen Rider ran for 98 episodes. Goranger lasted 84. But Bandai couldn't sell enough toys when the shows didn't change every year so most tokusatsu tv got cut down to just a years worth of episodes On the other hand, a 1970s series could also get cut short if it dropped in the ratings, but later series were always a year no matter the ratings. If you look up the ratings they drop after the original series. The original Kamen Rider had the highest ratings. Goranger has the highest ratings for a sentai. The special effects have gotten better, but plots and acting have gotten worse. I think a large part of the problem is they use younger actors. They actors pretending to be in their 20s in the 1970s were actually in their 30s and had previous acting experience. As for tjhe special effects I'll take black powder explosions and fireballs that you can see the wires holding up over CGI anyday. Sentai means task force, its a military term and the originl sentai were military orginizations, they were also supposed to be international with the series just covering the local Japanese branch. The original Kamen Riders were cyborgs, part human, part machine. I don't know what the current ones are. I find if I like the theme music I'll like the show and if I don't like the music I donn't usually care for the show it came from. I love the 70s theme music. Can't stand the current music.
