I've always loved it, or at least liked it as a kid. My dad was a huge fan of the show when he was a kid, having amassed a huge collection of serials on VHS, and he'd used them to get me hooked just in time for the reboot. We'd watch every Saturday night like clockwork. I remember being distraught when The Empty Child aired, ended on a cliffhanger, and my local PBS affiliate waited four months to air the followup episode.
I lost active interest in the show sometime during Matt Smith's run as The Doctor; something about the show's writing around then didn't quite sit right. Everything was becoming about The Doctor, always revolving around him, pulling focus away from whatever a given episode was meant to be about, and all these hints were being dropped, presenting questions to the audience that would ultimately go unanswered.
Also, I thought bringing back the Weeping Angels was stupid, before they were made more powerful upon their return.
