The West Wing was

I thought it was but couldn't be bothered to check as I knew nobody would be pedantic about it

Lost was good for a while but dragged on so long they might as well have renamed it Total Boll.ocks

I watched that too.
It seemed as though they had a great idea but then the scriptwriters were LOST half way through the plot.
It was a bit of a cop out ending it by making the viewer decide what had actually happened.

Lost by name, lost by nature

It's called spinning something out to make as much money out of a good thing. There's no concept here of writing e.g. a 6 or 12 episode drama and calling it done. Another show Manifest went exactly the same way and it was obvious it was going to do so just a few episodes into it.

I could do the advertising at the start and end of programs but to watch a film or drama which eventually has a break every 5 minutes on commercial tv ruins it for me.

Here's BBC America's schedule today.

Star Trek The Next Generation (episodes continually from 5am to 5pm) then 4 films

Mission To Mars
Apollo 13
Gravity
Moon Landing

I guess it's around the time of year man landed on the moon

It’s like that every night. Totally agree.

Even the lyrics for the One Show shows how banal it all is.

A night of drama and fiction then

Could they not afford to pay any singers who can at least sing all of the letters in the word.

Maybe the license fee should be raised to get some quality participants
