I''''m a big fan and have been weathering the changes quite well. The show instantly captured my attention. I''''m not sure why. I do like the American/Canadian thing, and the multi-cultural aspect to the city.

The show has never held my attention. The changes are the biggest mistake the writers have ever made, and thats saying something.
