Wouldn't say I hate it. I just get more drawn to shows with ongoing stories. The X-Files standalone episodes were usually pretty good but I always preferred the ones dealing with the conspiracy.

I think part of it is that I don't feel much reason to watch every week if it is going to be all wrapped up in the hour. I stopped watching House, not because it's a bad show, but because I already watch so much and each episode was pretty much the same. Yeah the draw of the show is him but that can only keep me entertained for so long.

Lie To Me is the most recent, and I think only show now, that I watch that is standalone. So far so good.
