- The Wire# ♥ ♥ ♥ excellent storywriting
- Andromeda# Watched for 4 seasons as it got worse and worse. Babes of the week, ridiculous stories, plot holes by the dozen, out of character writing.... My head hurts just thinking about it.... about a year later I picked it up again and managed to enjoy season 5.
- Firefly# 2nd time watching. Fun.

- 24* some plots are good, some naf. it's 50/50 whether an episode is going to thrill or dissapoint.
- Dexter# unlovable cold characters
- Nip Tuck* blargh - carver plot - nazis etc - what?
- Sex and the city* ugh
- Once and again* got boring
- Doctor Who# Master/end of the world plot was the final straw. Emotional exhaustion. How can they top that?
- Weeds# Using stereotypes for humour gets old fast.
- CSI Miami* I watch this on and off: it's often contrived and silly. Less Horatio would make it more watchable.
