…which shows do you still like? I was thinking about this as I watch a (taped) episode of e.r. from this season. I still love this show. I don’t really care who’s on it, the cast memembers have always been wonderful, and none of them leaving has ever made me think “I don’t want to watch any more.” It helps that Carter has been my favorite character since the first episode, though. Anyone have others that come to mind?
Law and Order - Even though there are now, like, 24 L&O spin-offs, even though there isn’t anyone recognizable from the original series, even though people who once played victims on the show are now lead charachters, it’s one of my favorites.
MAS*H did pretty well after Wayne Rogers and McLean Stevenson left. It died when Larry Linville left though.
I liked Cheers better with Rebecca, instead of Diane.
Even though I am the only one on these boards that liked ST:Voyager, I’ll say that 7of9 was a much more interesting character than Kes.
I hate Voyager, but i’ll second that…
And i like Mike as much as Joel (let the flaming begin…)
In ST:TNG, I felt that bringing Dr. Pulaski in improved the show. The crew had been getting along way too well; I felt they were all about to break into a group hug or something.
Which leads us to L.A. Law, which was never as consistently good once Mikey left, but had some neat characters later in the run (Tommy, Zoe, Dr. Pulaski).

P.S. I agree about 7 of 9.
And ST:TOS improved vastly, if briefly, once Anonymous Helmsmen #1 & #2 were replaced by Sulu (hotcha!) & Chekov.
You didn’t like Mr. Kyle or Space Sperviceman Kevin Riley?
