It's always been derivative, and other shows have derived its ideas. Transmat, anyone?

Also it's been going for over half a century so overarching storylines have never been a part of it. It was a Saturday tea-time show, no-one thought it was going to last as long as it did. Would have to be one heck of an overarching storyline to take all that in.

Still, each to her own!

Not entirely true - the early series were a different format entirely, where you would have a serial and the plot would span a number of episodes.

Yeah but there still (generally) wasn't an overarching plot across serials. It's just that the basic unit of a Doctor Who story was a single serial, rather than a single episode. Arguably, modern Who is actually much more serialized than the average old!Who series. Even having overarching Big Bads and call-backs the way that RTD!era Who did was outside the norm for most of classic Who's run, with a few relatively late exceptions like the Key Of Time season and the E-Space season.

It's also interesting to note that a lot of the most aggressively serialized eras in both have been very controversial (to say the least) - Trial Of A Time Lord is widely hated and Moffat's seasons 6 and 7 are definitely not, like, universally loved.
