"Doctor Who" spin-off "The Sarah Jane Adventures" makes its Sci Fi Channel debut tonight.

The show is decidedly aimed at a younger audience, with the idea that families would watch together. This probably won't appeal to the fan who only kind of likes Doctor Who but really digs Torchwood because of its "more adult" themes. Sarah Jane goes in the other direction with its 13 year old protagonists and toned down action. There is little violence, the monsters aren't quite as convincing as those The Doctor faces and things are a bit more simple and tidy than the other two shows in the "Whoniverse."
