Well, some of them DO read message boards like this. But the thing is, there's so much absolute crap that gets said on boards like this (i.e. the people who've set out to hate the show since the beginning, and hijack threads for the sole purpose of finding new and improved ways to bash it), that it's hard to sort through the bashers and see which criticisms/critiques are actually made by people with unbiased viewpoints. If there are any.
And above all, there's the fact that criticisms are so subjective anyway -- I mean, look at the divided opinions about LBB, just for one thing. Some people love her, some dislike her, some barely notice her. Can you imagine being on the creative team of a show and looking through a message board like this, and trying to find consistent opinions about ANYTHING?

Dear Ken,
I'm in pieces. Why the cold shoulder?
