David Tennant as The Doctor
I don't know how excited to be about this, but David Tennant is going to be starring in an American comedy drama. I think it's great that he landed the lead, but knowing how bad the execution of some of our shows are (let's think the American version of "Life on Mars" people) I'd hate to see him fail at this. I know that the show won't fail because of his skill as an actor. It would be due to some other stupidity with the marketing, directing, etc....
OK, so I'll try to be positive and rephrase it all to "WOW!!!! David Tennant is FINALLY coming to an American series and in the LEAD!!! I can't wait to watch!" No news on what he's going to do with his accent. He's got an awesome Scottish accent that I'd love to see him use, but he can do an English accent almost flawlessly. I hope they don't try to make him do an American accent, but if they insist, I'm sure such a talented man will be able to pull it off!
