My problem with American shows is their insistence on milking the cash out of them.

Often you'll get a good series which is great for the first few seasons... but then when the show starts making money the producers try to extend it's lifespan which usually results in the writers running out of ideas which of course results in the quality of the show going downhill.

A good example is Lost.

Shows are best when they are planned from beginning to end with the end being final. (My favourite TV series ever would have to be Babylon 5)
