..

Also even series 5 which had all that extra time still failed on the promise of a Moffat run DW, the episodes were nothing special just ranging from good to decent and the arc was a load of bunk, with the final episode of the series being a bunch of nonsense..

And sadly the bunch of nonsense thing became a stable of the Moffat era to where now we have the moon as a space dragons egg (a dragon that can poop out a egg bigger than itself just after being born no less), magic trees of no consequence (the earth should of been devastated and the human population should of had a big percentage cut out of it), sleep eye monsters, Clara being responsible for everything the Doctor ever did (yes that's an exaggeration ) the iconic Tardis sound is just because the Doctor leaves the breaks on (and so does every time lord apparently), arc after arc that make no sense and peter out in a very un-climatic way, a Mother and Father who don't care that they didn't get to raise their daughter, sonic shades, a secret Doctor, the Tardis as a woman, Time War rendered to nothing, Galifrey is back and it no big deal... and so on and so on (I could keep going for ages)
But could you go on for four and a half billion years?

My husband and I were great fans of the original series it was our childhood fav when it rebooted we loved it couldn't wait for each episode then something happened, it changed into something else and we stopped watching a few episodes into Matt smiths series, we tried to come back when he left but couldn't pick up the on going stories it had completely morphed into an on going story line you needed to have followed through previous series.
So from just not liking one actor they lost two viewers for ever.

It also used to be as I said a childhood fav but I won't let our 9 year old watch it as it's no longer really family viewing.

Another potential viewer lost.

There may be many other reasons people have stopped watching but these were our personal reasons.

Have I lost interest? No. Do I get as much as an emotional buzz or am I as eager for the next episode as i was circa 7-10 years ago? Nope. But then, as others have said I watch way less TV than I did back then too.

Agreed the whole television watching thing has evolved in a way no-one thought of when if you missed an episode you missed it, full stop, until video was invented...having said that, I surprised myself watching the Christmas Special when the theme started and I thought 'great to have it back!'.
