Summary: Great Doctor Who spin-off!
Comment: I wasn't sure I would like this new series because the side-kicks were kids ... so I figured it would be too young for me ... but I was pleasantly surprised!!! I love K-9! I love that some of the Doctor Who monsters made an appearance!! I like how they grew SJ's character in the 1st season. It is a family show ... probably more in line with the scariness of the orignal series ... definitely something you could watch with your kids and enjoy!! If you liked the original Doctor Who you will probably like this series ... it is sort of New Doctor Who Lite. Not quite as scary ... but still VERY well written and acted!!!! This spin-off series seems to be targeted at families and/or younger viewers the Torchwood series seems to be targeted at adults. All three shows are great and a welcome addition to my Original Doctor Who DVDs and video tapes :o) ... Highly recommended!

Summary: Dr. Who & Friends
Comment: I had heard that past members of the Doctor's crew had gone on to have their own shows. It was a delight to find this true and to have a copy of The Sarah Jane Adventures in my Dr. Who library. Sarah has grown older, but then so have I, but K-9 was just the same, good doggie.

Summary: GREAT All Ages Series
Comment: If you're a Doctor Who fan, you know that series is targeted at a family audience (In theory at least, I think it's more for teens and adults.). Sarah Jane is very much for the kids. But for adults, it's still a helluva lot of fun. Smart scripts, talented young actors, the beautiful lady that is Ms. Sladen, and a daft tin dog that everyone loves. Pick this up, it's great for the kids and parents are going to have a good time with it too!

Summary: Not Just Enjoyable for Kids
Comment: I was so happy to see this released on DVD here. I am a 26 year old female with no kids and I adore this series and I am not ashamed at all. Personally I think The Sarah Jane Adventures is a much better series than Torchwood and I find it more consistent in terms of quality than the New Doctor Who series.
Admittedly the 1st two stories (invasion of the Bane and Revenge of the Slitheen) are sort of weak which is why I gave this set 4 stars but as the series progresses the stories definitely improve. I especially enjoyed Eye of the Gorgon and Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?
Another thing I love about this series is the main heroine is a single middle aged woman. That's something you don't see every day.
So if you are just looking for a fun science fiction series with well written characters and stories that don't try to be all dark and edgy then I definitely recommend this.

Summary: A fun spin-off
Comment: From the producers of Dr. Who, this spin-off, starring an older (much older) Sarah Jane (from the 80s version of Dr. Who) is much more keyed toward kids but on its own merit, it is still very engaging and fun. It won't win any awards, but the pace of the series and the tie-ins to Dr. Who make this a decent series to enjoy.
