1) I suspect that I have been an SF fan since before you were born.
2) I saw the original film at the cinema, and have watched every episode of the show from the pilot onwards.
The show has never been more than entertaining (if you want a truly Great - with a capital "G" - SF show, the current incarnation of "Battlestar Galactica" knocks spots off "Stargate") however, if you read my post (I know that it might be a bit more complex than JK Rowling's prose) you will see that I said that I thought that the current seasons of both shows had been a bit poor. The (un)smiley also indicated that this was disappointing to me.
By the way, whilst I have yet to make my mind up about "Weeds" (what I've seen so far has been merely "OK"), "Nip/Tuck" is a far better show than Stargate,
Alas, quality is no guarantee of an audience. If it was, we wouldn't have to suffer rubbish such as the likes of the various Z list celebrity shows and Big Brother, and shows like Firefly would never have been cancelled.
At least Sky are supporting shows like Nip/Tuck and Deadwood which have quality writing, even if the audiences might not be huge.
