I thought the 1st season was great. Best thing I watched last season, better IMO than the 2nd season of Lost & 5th season of 24.

Drama likes The West Wing and the X-Files lasted so long because you could get a lot of content there, it was more open. X-Files could have a long continuing story line but they did loads and loads of shows which did not connect to main plot. Lost is just one big long story line and not much happens.

Still a lot they can do with Prison Break. Hopefully season 2 will be as good as 1. I read somewhere that they've only planned on 2 seasons.
Lost - yep, getting boring. The whole story is being dragged out, & nothing gets answered, just more questions get posed.
West Wing I agree.
X Files... Used to be one of my favourite shows at first. The 1st few seasons were very good, but it peaked early & went down hill quickly. Problem was the overall story arc, the "conspiracy story". It sucked. They did way too many episodes on that, rather than the decent "monster of the week" type episodes like they'd done in the early days (Squeeze & Tombs are still two of the best XF eps I think). Unlike something like B5, XF appeared to be made up as it went along, I don't think Chris Carter ever had any kind of overall master plan. The whole conspiracy arc just got more & more stupid & convoluted, full of more & more plot holes & contradictions, & more & more of a mess. If he'd done like JMS did with B5, & had a story "bible" & a full arc plotted out, it could've been really good (I like conspiracy type stories, but XF just got stupid as it wasn't done very well). IMO.
