TAB: On Ratings

   What regular readers there are too this site may notice I tend to give
   many things a "good" rating, so I thought I should give a number of
   reasons why this is.
     * I reserve the "great" rating for stuff that holds up it's
       greatness on a rewatching. So some of the good stuff is on the
       road to greatness.
     * I primarily review things right after watching them. I'm not going
       to bother watching a bad, or merely okay, show, so they don't get
       reviewed.
     * I'm pretty good at picking shows that appeal to me, and I tend to
       use other
       people's reviews to weed out shows that I don't think will be very
       good.

   Now, what good are my reviews, then? Well, as I watch more new stuff,
   I'll probably give some bad reviews. But until then, I think even my
   good reviews will help people deterimine if a show will appeal to
   them.

   Anyway, that's my current thinking on the subject. If you have an
   opinion, let me know about it in the comments.
