"Dr. who?" you might ask. And that would be funny.
I am not an expert on the old Dr Who's by any means, but it has come to my attention that a lot of people are unaware of the recent addition of Dr. Who shows on Netflix, even though I did post something about this on my facebook page. Try to keep up, people.

And here is a cool blog post I found that covers the larger issue of access to all/many of the Dr. Who episodes.

2. Luggage with wheels
3. Netflix
That is all.
