We watched the first two West Wing episodes and that was more than enough of that.

Praise for pre-Sopranos tv dramas has to be understood in context, I guess? (Not that we yet understand the appeal of that show, but perhaps it was pre-Sopranos too, in its way.)

But Battlestar Galactica similarly lost us at hello...as did 24, Deadwood, Carnivale, Arrested Development, CSI, House, Dexter etc. Possibly we stopped too early, but how much of a chance should you give some tv show? What's a good rule.

What's a good rule for books, while I'm asking? 100 pages?

I think Deadwood's worth it for Swearengen for the first two seasons.

Michael Emerson has a new show coming in the fall.
