The end result is I just don't watch them.What's the point in never knowing how a story ends?
I know how you feel - the attitude of the tv companies is very confusing - basically they want long running series, with big story arcs, but they also want to be a ratings hit straight away - so basically they want the last season of a popular series straight away - which is never going to happen - and whenever ratings drop they can it.

You've obviously not read some of the books I've read then...
