  A lot of people seem to disagree with me!

  So I was reading through some of my previous contributions, in particular my TV show reviews and was surprised (or perhaps not actually) to see that many of my reviews have x users disagree with this, or whatever the wording is.

  On reflection I think its quite simple really. People (i.e. the general TV.com masses) overrate (sp) shows massively. For example how often do you see a 10.0 rating for an episode - not a show, but an episode?! Has that episode really reached the pinnacle of perfection?! Has it delivered everything you wanted and more, and there was no conceivable way possible for it to better in any single (no matter how small way) way?! I find that impossible to believe, unless you happen to be someone who considers a slug in your garden cabbage patch to bean orgasmic experience.

  That's why you see mediocre shows, and mediocre episodes rated far above what they should be, with the high rating reviews offering no decent explanation as to how they came to that conclusion. It's a joke, and I think many people are just rating based on the reputation of the show, or even worse perhaps based on what they think will get them x users agree with this ratings.

  And what's more annoying than all that are users who criticise a show rightly so, and then go on to give it a 9.5+ rating!! What on earth is that about?!

  So in conclusion I've decided to perservere and I hope others in a similar situation continue to do so as well. We need some sensible rational voices in this place.

  Peace out.
