getting boring

since I'm a TV junkie i was watching every episode till now... just finding myself doing other stuff while it was running. The plot structure is pretty boring, usually nothing unexpected happens, the characters aren't really developed, basically anybody could play anybody in that show. Also its hard to get rid of the feeling having seen one episode and knowing how all other episodes end. Try it and you will know what I mean. The other thing is everything seems to be staged... everybody knows always exactly do to, never a situation that needs any rethinking or develops any other subplot. Once i missed 20 minutes in between... just caught the last 5 minutes and somehow everything was crystal clear and i didn't feel the need to watch the missing 20 minutes.
