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.
