Too bad for Josh Holloway. My wife and I both enjoyed his previous show Intelligence, which only lasted a season (or was it only half a season). It had a continuing story arc as well.
I'm the same way. The auto recording of systems today and the ability to watch something on demand makes following shows easier. But I am not dedicated enough to work at all to "keep up" with some TV show. If I want to be distracted, I want Good Vs. bad. I want a beginning a plot and an end.
NCIS used to be a GREAT show. It's getting hard to follow any more if you don't know the story from other episodes.
This is what killed off the Disney hour on Sunday evenings years ago. Who wants to watch a show when you might not be around to see every episode for some reason or other?
Havent seen Halloway since Lost. Sawyer was my favorite character. Was hilarious.
