I decided to do this after watching the "Assignment: Earth" episode the other day. I realized something while watching and I'm hoping one of you knows the answer.
>gruff, eccentric, humanoid with magic little device that can do almost anything
>attractive female companion
>access to high tech that is almost magical
>ability to travel instantly from place to place using something disguised as a normal, everyday object the vault
>being on the spot and trying to fix things before they go horribly, horribly wrong
My question: Is Gary Seven a ripoff of the Doctor?
>"Assignment: Earth" air date: March 29, 1968
>First Doctor Who episode air date: November 23, 1963
I think a certain couple of buggers (Gene Roddenberry and Art Wallace) must have seen some footage of Doctor Who at some point and decided to Americanize it.
Anyone know if I'm right?
