Wow, the cultural differences in your post abound...
But, as I think said somewhere else, it isn't culturally acceptable for
an adult to admit they watch sci-fi so it is always described as a kid's

some respects is more kid oriented than Doctor Who, not as convoluted.
This blows my mind, because an online friend's husband is going to the UK
for a Ph'd in Science Fiction Studies at the Center for Sci-Fi Studies in
Cambridge. We don't have that here. So...
