M y experience was similar. I thought the 3rd and 4th season episodes I saw were interesting, but the 1st season episodes seemed very formulaic.

By the way, AC, there's a lot of programs on TV that have a good idea at the core of them but don't end up as good as most of us think they ought to. Television, more than any other medium, forces so many compromises on the creative process that I'm amazed anything good gets on the air at all. So I'm probably more forgiving of "oh what could have been" shows than you are. Mostly because I have no desire to go write television shows myself.

I was going to ask you about that, but you answered with the fanfiction line.


I do have a question for you, though. If the episodes of this show that you saw were crap, and Buffy is a notch above that, what in your opinion is a good prime-time live action supernatural ghost/monster hunter type of show? I'm not asking to be sarcastic, but to get your honest opinion.
