I think part of it is that, yeah, we don't really care about the characters so much even though we want to know what happens next. Another factor is that not many other people I know watch and discuss those shows, so there isn't that impetus to watch ASAP. It's the latter that's more important, I think. Because I delay <I>Weeds</I> too, even though I like the characters. But there's no rush, since I don't have specific people I want to talk about it with.
