To be fair, I only said it approached Gaiman's work when it was at it's best (Which it does in my opinion).
Honestly, even then it's more or less hanging around the stadium as opposed to being in the ballpark.
I do agree that there is alot of wasted potential her (I'm hoping season six improves, because season 5's ending left alot to be desired in my opion)
In the hands of a more capable writing staff (ie: one that includes me, and possibly David Milch) and a better network, it could've been legendary. The preminse is excellent, and the characters and relationships are there.
I can't say if the flaws are the fault of the writing staff, or due to executive meddling (Though the episode about the necromancer working on a movie set makes me suspect the latter).
