Payed torrents !!??? I never payed for my illegal downloads (not that i do any ). I wasn’t necessarily refering to pay per view on the web but also on sattelite/digital TV.
As for Atlantis I find it weaker not only because of the actors (see Amanda Tapping, playing Sam Carter – she’s so faded out in Atlantis compared to her role in SG-1) but also because of the story and the villans (best episode so far was the one where they reuninted agains the Replicators (bad robots from SG-1). And the evolution to better plots in SG-1 is a thing which is great, indicates maturity, stuff getting better .
I’ll check out Primeval but so far i’m watching “Doctor Who”, also a brittish series which i quite enjoy.
And you said it right, it’s all about everybody’s taste, likes and dislikes but the overall “tendency” is NOT a good one!

I agree.Sadly, many good shows ended but there is nothing we can do. For the producers its way more simple to broadcast them on the tv and get money from there, than find other ways to distribute it (payd torrents, pay per view on the web, etc.) The world is built around money, so who ever has them, wins.
It’s not all bad, because there still are some good tv shows left. I think Atlantis its a very good example, despite that it cant be put next to sg1, but that is mainly due to the actors, not the plot imho. Remember that even SG1 had very simple plots in their first seasons.
Lets see, other shows that i think they are worth watching now: Family Guy, The It Crowd (geek comedy), PRIMEVAL – a very very good british SF (my fav at the moment), The Simpons. Surely there are others, but i cant recall them now all. It also depends on what tastes you have.
