Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme produced by the BBC. As of 23 October 2022,[update] 871 episodes of Doctor Who have aired, concluding the thirteenth series. This includes one television movie and multiple specials, and encompasses 300 stories over 39 seasons, starting in 1963. Additionally, four charity specials and two animated serials have also been aired. The programme's high episode count has resulted in Doctor Who holding the world record for the highest number of episodes of a science-fiction programme.[1]

Due to the BBC's 1970s junking policy, 97 episodes of Doctor Who from the 1960s are no longer known to exist. As a result, 26 serials are currently incomplete, with one or more episodes represented only by audio, which in many cases is in addition to clips or still frames. For commercial release, some episodes have been reconstructed using off-air audio recordings, paired to surviving visuals or newly commissioned animation.
The first incarnation of the Doctor was portrayed by William Hartnell. During Hartnell's tenure, the episodes were a mixture of stories set on Earth of the future with extraterrestrial influence, on alien planets, and in historical events without extraterrestrial influence, such as Marco Polo, one of the lost serials. In his last story, The Tenth Planet, the Doctor gradually grew weaker to the point of collapsing at the end of the fourth episode, leading to his regeneration.
The Smugglers and The Tenth Planet were the last serials to star the First Doctor, his regeneration to the Second occurring in the latter. It is also notable as the season with the most missing episodes, with not one serial existing in its entirety.
The Second Doctor was portrayed by Patrick Troughton, whose serials were more action-oriented than those of his predecessor. Additionally, after The Highlanders, stories moved away from the purely historical ones that featured during William Hartnell's tenure; instead, any historical tales also included a science fiction element. Patrick Troughton retained the role until the last episode of The War Games when members of the Doctor's race, the Time Lords, put him on trial for breaking the laws of time. The Doctor was forced to regenerate and thereafter exiled on Earth.
All serials in this season continue directly one after the other, tracing one single problematic voyage of the TARDIS crew. Despite the continuity, each serial is considered its own standalone story. This season also introduced the character of Harry Sullivan portrayed by Ian Marter as a companion; this character was intended to undertake action scenes, during the period prior to Tom Baker being cast, when it was unclear how old the actor playing the new Doctor would be.
In a return to the format of early seasons, virtually all serials from Seasons 18 through 20 are linked together, often running directly into each other. Season 18 forms a loose story arc dealing with the theme of entropy. Full Circle, State of Decay, and Warriors' Gate trace the Doctor's adventures in E-Space; they were released in both VHS and DVD boxsets with the umbrella title The E-Space Trilogy. This season saw the departure of Romana and the introduction of companions Adric and Nyssa, and soon-to-be companion, Tegan Jovanka.
The show moved from its traditional once-weekly Saturday broadcast to being broadcast twice-weekly primarily on Monday and Tuesday,[17] although there were regional variations to the schedule. Castrovalva, together with the previous two serials, The Keeper of Traken and Logopolis, form a trilogy involving the return of the Master. They were released on DVD under the banner title New Beginnings. The season marked the final appearance of Adric.[17]
Episodes were broadcast twice weekly on Thursday and Friday evenings, with Resurrection of the Daleks broadcast on two consecutive Wednesday nights in 45-minute, rather than 25-minute, parts. The Caves of Androzani saw the regeneration of the Fifth Doctor, and the season finale The Twin Dilemma was the first story of the Sixth Doctor. The season marked the departure of Tegan Jovanka and Vislor Turlough, as well as the introduction of Nicola Bryant as Peri Brown.
Numerous video games based on the show have been produced. Some of the early games include Konami's arcade game The Simpsons (1991) and Acclaim Entertainment's The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants (1991).[319][320] More modern games include The Simpsons: Road Rage (2001), The Simpsons: Hit & Run (2003) and The Simpsons Game (2007).[321][322][323] Electronic Arts, which produced The Simpsons Game, has owned the exclusive rights to create video games based on the show since 2005.[324] In 2010, they released a game called The Simpsons Arcade for iOS.[325] Another EA-produced mobile game, Tapped Out, was released in 2012 for iOS users, then in 2013 for Android and Kindle users.[326][327][328] Two Simpsons pinball machines have been produced: one that was available briefly after the first season, and another in 2007, both out of production.[329]

Remote ID message will be available to most personal wireless devices within range of the broadcast; however, correlating the serial number or session ID with the registration database will be limited to the FAA and can be made available to authorized law enforcement and national security personnel upon request.
Thought we had enough crime dramas? Think again. Mindhunter brought cinema-quality visuals and strong character development to the genre, and took us back in crime to the 1970s as police began to track serial killers. Excellent acting and moody writing help make it one of the best Netflix series. Frustratingly, Mindhunter has apparently been put on an indefinite hiatus, so we don't know if or when season 3 will happen.
In the original series finale, Will and Grace had a rift between them and they ended their friendship for 20 years. It wasn't until their grown children met in college that they were able to rekindle their relationship. While it wasn't the worst series finale of all time, it made fans angry. In the redo in 2020, they moved into a bigger house to raise their kids under one roof, an ending that fans loved.
Gossip Girl is another show that is getting a new shot on the air right now. When the original series aired, it was a huge success and fans followed these characters all the way to the season finale. Sadly, it ended up as one of the worst endings in TV history. What went wrong?
For six seasons, the show followed wealthy and elite teens as they navigated scandals all thanks to a mysterious person known as Gossip Girl revealing all their secrets. Then, in the finale, it turned out that Dan was actually Gossip Girl. The problem is that it made no sense based on the six seasons of scandals, and fans rejected this and reacted in anger to the hated finale.
However, it is widely known to have one of the worst series finales of all time. The show used the trope of being all in one character's head, and it turned out nothing that happened was real. It was all the imagination of a young boy on the spectrum named Tommy and the hospital was a construct in a small snow globe that the boy played with as he imagined the stories in his mind.
This led to the House, M.D. series finale where he didn't have to pay for any of the crimes he committed as the show came to a close. In one of the worst endings in TV history, House faked his own death. Then, while everyone attended his funeral and his best friend Wilson admitted that he hated him, he called Wilson to admit he was alive. With Wilson dying, and there being no cure, the two set out together to live out the rest of his days. House not getting what was coming to him and dragging Wilson down with him seemed cruel.
Gilmore Girls is another lovable show that faltered in its season finale that failed to give its character a successful send-off. The show ended with Lorelai and Rory leaving town and everyone's come together to throw them a hasty going-away party.
Luke and Lorelai's relationship is still fuzzy although it's implied they might have gotten back together, and then the episode ends. It was an abrupt finale for most fans, but the Netflix revival helped to quell a lot of the frustration of the original finale.
It's a fun and popular show that usually finished a story a week as Sam helped whoever he was tasked with helping and then moved on to new characters each week. But, the finale tried to state that Sam always had the power to leap home, and the final images are of a title card saying that Sam never made it home, one of the worst endings in TV history.
Season 9 attempted to introduce a slew of new characters and put the characters fans had grown to love in the backseat for the final season. Even worse, the season finale didn't even feel like a final episode, and most fans choose not to rewatch the 9th season.
Furthermore, the show's creator decides to deviate from the action entirely and throw a backdoor pilot into the middle of the season, right at the height of the tension. The pilot itself is interesting enough, but a little out of place at such a critical moment. It also undermines the current cast of characters. Then, of course, there's the finale: essentially, the extinction of the human race. What kind of message are viewers supposed to take away from this? Not only does it not make sense for the characters to support Clarke at this moment, but the finale leaves no room for any kind of hope.
In season 4, Mary returns to her home country of Scotland, which is an interesting story arc, but the show is undeniably darker. Instead of rushing through Mary's life, the series takes its time to expand on what is recorded in history, which is why the series finale comes as such a shock. Until a week before filming wrapped, the creators weren't sure if the series would be renewed or canceled, so they had already filmed a final scene just in case. When the news came, they had no choice but to cut Mary's story short and skip ahead twenty years to her execution. 2ff7e9595c
