I’m with you. I only really care for tv-series with episodes that offer self-contained storylines. Have zero interest in anything serialized. Remember an interesting academic discussion on this several decades ago, reflecting the differences between the tastes of men and women. Supposedly, women looked at ‘life’ as a long, winding, unresolved thread, and men looked at life as a series of singular, individual incidents. Supposedly this explained the female predilection for soap operas. But now serialization is the norm. Which could also conceivably reflect the feminization of the culture. Although I’m not so sure things are so much feminized any more as they are all-out faggoty.

Anyway, the only sci-fi series left that I’m awaiting to arrive on dvd is the old 1950s “Science Fiction Theater,” hosted by Truman Bradley. It’s more ‘science’ than sci-fi, but I still enjoy its dated vibe.

Too many times I became vested in watching a show with the main story line having never been resolved and while one or two subplots would be resolved, two or 3 new ones would be unleashed...........then only to have the show cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons.

Now I wait to watch a show that has a continuing story line from week to week and season to season until I know that it is critically acclaimed and also has what the creator deemed as closure........

Sopranos

Breaking Bad

Lost

Some episodes of Science Fiction Theater are on Youtube. That was a great show.
