Oh I first tried it via Sci-Fi marathons in 2002 when episodes were shown in completely random orders, so I know exactly how you feel.

And while not a SyFy original production but rather an import, Continuum is definitely a Canadian sci-fi show well worth people's time.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's where the former show gets its English name from (the German title literally translates as Our Mothers, Our Fathers.)

Dude watching TV is exactly like donating to charity, but instead of donating money, you're donating time… and often money.

Well on the one hand Louie tried his hand at a cable multi-cam (haven't seen it but it does have its defenders) and on the other hand there are some pretty talented people on network comedies…

…I did like Donald Glover since derrickcomedy.

The incidental music (that is the music played during episodes) gets better as the show goes on, particularly when Guy Gross starts regularly writing them.

Precisely. And with the more 'quality' sitcoms today tending without laugh tracks more often than with laugh tracks, that stigma persists.

Yep. (I originally included part of the post here praising them for recognizing Prisoners of War, but then I realized it was a bit long.)

Well you already said Babylon 5.

I guess it's the extremely dark lighting that made it feel largely Hannibalesque.

Oh, those laughs were partly faked. Sort of - they'd artificially insert laughs that were recorded for the show, but it's still what is called a 'sweetener.'
Ken Levine wrote a great blog about it:

I have three shows here. The first is Generation War, about which I can say considerable good - it's not perfect and I understand people's issues with it, but it's an incredible achievement, a Band of Brothers-esque German miniseries from the other side of the war.

Though if HBO did renewals solely on the basis of this website, Enlightened would have a third season.

In one way, watching Star Trek is a bit like being Alexander the Great.

I just had no idea there were Beauty and the Beast fans. When I was voting I couldn't get over the fact it was even nominated, the reviews were so toxic.

You thought I was dead? Well so did the President's enemies.

Goe-ter-dam-er-ung.

Who regardless of your opinion (which is quite widely held, particularly here, and exhaustively argued for) had many fans who liked her, is all I'm saying.

True. But audience perspective is the thing, since we're talking about sitcom death fakeouts.
