95. I do watch it.....
I'm not as in love with it as a lot of people seem to be. It has had some great, great episodes no doubt about it. And it's definitely my sense of humor and I get all the references. I couldn't put my finger on why it just doesn't do it for me as much as the other shows that night on NBC do, and someone on another board summed it up in a way that completely explained it for me: "That show is just too far up it's own ass any more for me to not get annoyed by it more than I'm amused by it."

That about sums it up. It's just become too enamored of it's own cleverness and everything is meta at the expense of the quality of the show or any kind of narrative.
