Am I too young for this, or did this become popular during my 2 1/2 year stint in Korea?  I'm usually pretty up to date on stuff but I'm completely lost on this one.
It started in 1963.

Did you blink? ;D

These are not the nerds you're looking for...

Move along.

I dunno - Doctor Who has been on TV longer than I've been watching TV, and I'm 48. They stopped making new episodes for a while (during which most Americans watched Tom Baker episodes over and over) then the BBC "rebooted" the series very successfully 5 years ago. There are now zillions of watchers who don't even know it goes back farther than that.

It was on AFN when I lived in Germany a third of a century ago, and on AFNK when my wife was in Korea at the same time, alongside 2 year-old episodes of M*A*S*H and Saturday mornings of Crusader Rabbit from the '50's.

Maybe you did blink. Maybe it's just that you're not quite as pathetic a nerd as some of us. "Popular" is a relative term. When I was in band in high school, playing Dungeons and Dragons during long boring stretches (defined as when the team was on the field or court playing) was "popular"...

I was in a medical staff meeting a while back when our new general surgeon was talking about an in-office procedure and describing the pertinent anatomical landmarks.

Apparently, I'm exactly the wrong age.

Those a few years older or younger than I just looked puzzled, while those about my age hissed and groaned when I made a pass with my hand and said "these are not the 'rrhoids you're looking for."
