Some of the episodes were really good. I never cared much for Joan Watson and even less when she always dressed as a man and wanted to adopt a child. So I went from a huge to dropping it at the end of the fifth season.
I think I stopped watching after the fourth adoption epi in a row.
The show had enough problems due to the program scheduling wienie fairies at CBS.
Started great but jumped the shark around season 3-4. The usual PC leaking and Cross dressing Watson was an aggravating distraction.
When it was good, it was good. When it was bad, it was very bad. Dropped it a while back.
