Y'all want to know why I never ever ever ever ever get into the "biggest thing on television"? Because to me it seems everytime something comes along that everyone gets all excited over and start squirting fun-time tears from their eyes, something has already decided to slink onto the screen and demand your time. I can remember way back when when Buffy was the big thing, then it was 24, then Lost etc. etc. It seems to be that attempting to put any time and effort into keeping up with a series will inevitably become pointless as the programmes steadily loses it's viewing figures and gradually slips into mediocraty.
In short, I really can't be bothered to deal with these serial-type dramas. Can you?
P.S. Doctor Who doesn't count, since it's awesome and has David "I-would-even-though-I'm-straight" Tennant.
