Quote: David Bussell @ September 2 2008, 4:33 PM BSTI disagree. I'm talking about a show as a whole. Does it suddenly go from being shite to great if the last half has a good bit in it?
Not necessarily. But if you turn off after 10 minutes, then you're unlikely to tune in for even one minute of the rest of the series. And that may have been the only bad 10 minutes in the whole 3 hours. Which means you may very well have missed an excellent programme due to your stubborn refusal to watch something if you don't like it.
Quote: chipolata @ September 2 2008, 4:58 PM BSTAs for Aaron's contention that you can't really pass judgement on something until you've watched the whole series - nonsense. Life's too short to waste watching entire series of substandard shows.
I said a FULL and FAIR judgement, IIRC. Not no judgement at all.
