I've only ever seen the newest two seasons and a handful of old school episodes.
The Ninth Doctor's season was vastly superior. The over-arc of Bad Wolf was sublime, I loved Rose in that season, and The Parting of the Ways comes damn close to being the finest hour of television I have ever seen. Father's Day was one of my favorites. The Empty Child was such a creepy villain. "Mommy? Is that you, Mommy?" Gah!
I liked Ten's season less. Rose really, really grated in this season and I was glad to see her gone. Fear Her was terrible and the fine episode of Love & Monsters was horribly ruined by the last five minutes. "We still have a sex life"
But the Satan episodes were nice and creepy, even if some parts of it didn't make sense. I loved the old scifi tropes, like body swapping and alternate universes. The alternate universe/Cybermen episodes were great, especially in the last few episodes when the Daleks showed up and they started snarking at each other. "This is not war, it is pest control" :rockon: And Rose left! And you can't forget School Reunion, my personal favorite.
So, overall the first season I saw was more consistently good and the season arc worked better. The second season's worst moments were worse than the first season's worst moments, but some of its individual episodes were phenomenal.
