I watch and enjoy a lot of network TV. Then there's a lot of it that I really dislike.
I don't mind remakes. When they work (Ugly Betty, The Office), they can be great. If they don't work, I usually just find something else to watch that's on at the same time. Networks like to try remakes because if a show succeeded somewhere else, obviously something about it worked with audiences. I guess I'd rather have a LOM remake than the umpteenth cookie-cutter CSI clone, popular as those may be with other viewers.
