Mr. Gold is my absolute favorite character! (On the other hand, Rumplestiltskin chews up the scenery so much that it's very hard to take him seriously.) Mmm, I think I'm going to have to rewatch The Full Monty.
I personally love long arcs and shows that reward consistent watching and re-watching. Buffy, Battlestar Galactica, The West Wing. Of course, when it's done badly, without enough attention to established canon, it gets very frustrating (as when The X-Files and House went downhill).
The dialogue really does bum me out sometimes, I have to say. I hate it when I know exactly what cheesy line the characters are going to deliver before they do it.
I don't have DVR, or tv at all, actually, so I'll be waiting for a while. But I don't mind. I'm currently catching up on last season's Game of Thrones and have three entire seasons of Torchwood to watch after that.
