Yes, I just subjected myself to this “classic.” Although I’m a fan of dystopic cinema, the campier the better, this had a hard time holding my attention.

But I did enjoy Deadwood (rented the videos, since I still don’t have a cable connection), as well as Dead Like Me — no relation between them, aside from the obvious. There is something to be said for watching TV on a serial basis rather than all at once. Twin Peaks, for example, doesn’t hold its charm if you’ve got the next episode right there and don’t have to wait for it.

I think I’ve gotten more out of Lost on Television Without Pity than I would have if I’d chosen to endure it live. Ditto for Survivor.
