Something like Dr Who is a bit of a special case, though, since it's so variable that you can easily hate one season and love the next..and then hate the one after that, but keep hoping you'll like it again.

Also, you've reminded me to add a note asking people not to complain about other people complaining, just because in my experience people (including me) love to complain about other people complaining, and it could derail the conversation. Also to add a link to Star Wars Fans Hate Star Wars :)

*enjoys the irony of complaining about people complaining about people complaining*
