Entertainment Weekly recently had a thread on their website that had letters from people breaking up with TV shows as if they were boyfriends. The only TV show that has ever made me feel like a mistreated lover is Lost. Last night was the season premiere and ABM is still into it, but I refuse to get caught up again.
When will there be a payoff with this show? I admit that while I am watching it, the scenes are compelling. However, at the end of every episode I realize that the pretty pictures didn't forward the plot very much. This is the third season and I still have questions about stuff that was introduced in the first season! The story is dragging on too long for me. I feel like I am being jerked around so that they can get the requisite number of episodes for syndication or a DVD box set. There are many other options vying for my entertainment hours; I'm not going to stick around to watch them tie this mess up with a sloppy bow in season five.

I gave up on Lost, too confusing, not enough payout. I may see season 3 once it comes out on DVD. Maybe.
Well put!
It puts me in mind of a British TV sci fi series in the sixties called 'The Prisoner' that had no plot - just mystery - but maybe only so much mystery without plot can be swallowed.
