I found Tiffany Wells to be more appealing than Kris Munroe on "Charlie's Angels". I only watched snippets of the show, so I don't know the character names, but do know the looks of the chicks. Whichever one Jacquelyn Smith played was the super turn on to us guys, and all the others were pretty much 9/10, except that one that replaced Farrah, who was more of a 7/10 girl next door.

"Dexter" had the right ending. I originally wanted Dexter to escape and reform himself. Other viewers wanted to see him captured, put on trial, and convicted.
He escaped and ended up alone and away from much human influence, good or bad, in the Pacific Northwest wilderness. You're left wondering if he would resume killing with even less compunction than before. I'm not optimistic.

I got so sick of hearing how Lynette on Desperate Housewives was a control freak. She couldn't open he mouth without that label being thrown at her. It's not that she wasn't one, but she wasn't the only one and it was used against her ad nauseum.

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but still here is another one
Each season of Game of Thrones has been a perfect 10\10 season.

The Sopranos is a stronger show than The Wire.

I liked the short-lived TV series Caprica.

I've got some. Now while I never got into a show like Breaking Bad I don't feel comfortable saying it's bad because I only watched like the first 3 episodes to decide it wasn't for me. So I'm just going to go with shows that I've seen every episode of.
The Wire isn't this god-level type show that it somehow gained a reputation for long after it was over. People's praise for it got me to watch it and really, were any of the characters in that show likable? I didn't find myself rooting for any of them. It had some great acting in it but I don't think it did anything revolutionary like people say it did today.
White Collar is/was criminally undervalued. It was a great show on the USA network with amazing actors and one of my favorite TV characters of all time played brilliantly by Matt Bomer in Neal Caffrey. It deserved to last longer than it did. It was given a 6 episode final season and that sucked as it deserved better. However at the same time I'm glad they at least got the chance to wrap up the main characters story's despite it being rushed at the end.
Rules of Engagement is/was also very undervalued and under appreciated. One of the few half hour comedy sitcoms that constantly gets me back watching reruns. I genuinely enjoyed every single main character on it. Jeff and Adam being the big stand outs though. I will say I skip episodes that are heavy on Liz but they were few and far between. Was a fun show that got 100 episodes yet I never felt like anyone else ever watched it.

Game of Thrones is not good.It's bread-and-butter is shock and frankly it's not that shocking after about two episodes.

Breaking Bad is not that great.
Downton Abbey is nothing more than a bad copy of the 70s show Upstairs, Downstairs.

Downton Abbey was/is madly overrated. Maggie Smith is fun to watch, that's about it. Otherwise, it's humorless, sloppily written, numerous character inconsistencies and plot points that are at times glaringly dumb.
Lost was a confused mess that never had the over-arching storyline the creators claimed. It was obvious early on they were making it up as they went along, throwing in gobbets of supposed esoterica and pop culture effluvia to flatter the audience into thinking what they were watching was far more 'intelligent' than it actually was (the pop/esoterica junk could also be said of 30 Rock, another wildly overrated show that wanted to be seen as more intelligent than it was).
Game of Thrones is schlock that tries to pass itself off as 'serious and important' drama, rooted in an historically accurate representation of the medieval world; it ain't--it's an excuse to watch many, many naked boobies joggling about during 'R' sex scenes, and lots of gratuitous bloodletting, and nothing more.
Breaking Bad started off great; the first season slow buildup of Walter White's character was one of the most impressive things of its kind I've seen a tv series attempt. It arced steadily downwards into cartoon subsequently, and by the end of the last season I'd have preferred to have the ludicrous final episode actually have turned out to have been all Walter's dying dream.

Breaking Bad doesn't make sense.
This mild mannered teacher gets diagnosed with terminal cancer. Builds a meth lab to generate money to leave his family. Lives 5more years.
Downtown Abbey. Kept on killing off the nice people. Maggie Smith and her "wh-what is a week-end? Is the funniest thing ever. That's it. The amount of kindness from the Gentry, while sweet and endearing, was just not THAT true to reality. Sorry. Let's have some sort of historical reality.

- Starz's Spartacus was a great underrated show. Sure, the early episodes were mediocre, but by the mid-point of Season 1, it became a great show with great characters and an interesting story. Many say the series was lost after original star Andy Whitfield had to leave due to tragic circumstances, but I strongly disagree. The last two seasons did him proud.
- Deep Space Nine was the best Star Trek show. Sure, TOS had the iconic characters like Kirk and Spock who have become ingrained in pop culture and The Next Generation had Patrick Stewart's great central performance, but DS9 had more of an epic storyline, more flawed/complex characters and a character arcs which made it a much more compelling show.
- The X-Files's last two seasons with Doggett and Reyes weren't bad. They certainly weren't up to par with the show's glory years, but there were some good episodes. Robert Patrick also put some effort into his episodes unlike David Dukovny, who phoned in most of his appearances in Season 7.
- Chappelle's Show was a mixed bag. For every funny sketch like Black Klansman, Rick James, Prince and Charlie Murphy, there'd be lame unfunny ones like the Love Contract or the one where John Meyer plays guitar and gets the local people to dance based on their ethnicity.
- Entourage started off as fun fluff, but by Season 4, I quickly got tired of it. The characters got more grating and boring with each episode. Even when they had Vinnie Chase addicted to drugs, it felt forced. The 2015 movie was one of the worst films I've ever seen.
- Sons of Anarchy started off great, then quickly lost it. The first two seasons are killer and the central cast all had great chemistry. I loved Ron Perlman as Clay. However, the show got stale by Season 5 with repetitive plotlines, endless classic rock montages and 90 minute episodes. They should have ended it by Season 4 or 5.
- Heroes had a great first season. Sure, you could pick out plot holes and what have you, but I enjoyed the characters and this big world they created. By the second season, they completely fell off the rails and from what I saw of the third season, things didn't improve. I never even bothered with the final season.

They were mostly meant to be anti-heroes who we feel compelled enough to follow from start to finish.

Only reason I stayed watching is because it was only like 5 seasons and I got curious to know what people's big complaint was about Omar.

I love DS9, but the first two seasons are been there done that. The storyline is the best part about it and I love all the characters. I liked Doggett, but I hated Reyes. I enjoyed season 8, but didn't care for season 9. I stopped watching Sons of Anarchy after season 3. I just couldn't get into it anymore. There's way too much forced drama which includes characters acting stupidly just so there can be overdramatic scenes. Yeah the show had an amazing first season and that was it. Some blame the writers strike during season 2, but I just blame bad writing overall. It's like the showrunners just stopped caring. The revival was awful too.

Lord no, not even close. Have you ever read Akenfield: Portrait of an English Village by Ronald Blythe? it gives the real skinny on 'idyllic' rural English life during the Downton period, and it's sobering and at times actually horrifying. If you read this and then try to watch that series, you'll find yourself alternately gagging and bursting into laughter at how untrue to life it is. www.nyrb.com/products/akenfield_portrait_of_an_english_village

I did see a Manor House. The reality PBS show from a couple of years ago with Derek Jacoby narrating.
