Because, now that it’s finished, it seems to have become somewhat fashionable to bash the preceding five years of the show – spotlighting and picking at its flaws (some of which do exist, no question; don’t think us blind apologists) without really giving fair due to all the things that made it… well, five pretty darned excellent (on the whole) years of television that even the most wide-eyed optimist wouldn’t have expected, a decade earlier, ever to see associated with the name of the series again. So in the interests of balance, selected on a random whim and in no particular order, here are some of those things. Feel free to add your own in the comments, and we’ll tell you whether you’re correct or not.
