If someone would rather watch The Waterboy than the most recent episode of your show, even though she absolutely worshiped your last show, you have gone terribly wrong somewhere.
If someone who *almost* unironically loves the wholly ridiculous Jericho and still religiously watches ancient, creaky ER because she just can’t bring herself to stop finds your show has become so ridiculously implausible that she’s considering not watching anymore, you too, have made a huge mistake.
This is a summer of disappointment for the obsessive television fan. At least there was the really awesome episode of the Closer with a three-way brawl between a funeral, a murder investigation, and a wedding. The teaser and first act of that episode were absolutely inspired.
Yeah, this is as bored as my TiVos have been since I got them. Bad summer, alas.
