I have a rule: I won't watch a new show until it has past seven seasons.
I figure if it's lasted seven seasons, it's worth a try.
If, by episode 3, it still sucks, I end it.
Documentaries are like 'treats' to me. I love a good one but so many of them are badly done. I won't watch just anything.
I don't watch tv in general. I have bunny ears - no cable. Haven't had cable since 1998. And I like it that way.
I watch what I want online. I don't see the use of paying twice.
