: I've been making the same mistake for the past two "2nd season" episodes. Because I enjoy this show as much as I do, I find myself with extremely high expectations before each episode begins. As the show starts, I feel a little disappointed. I start to focus on what I believe is wrong instead of enjoying what is right. Last Friday's "Vitas Mortis" was no exception.Just a short note to say that I, too, start to focus on the things I'm thinking that are wrong rather than enjoying the episode. If anyone else has this problem, the best way I know of to deal with it is to tape the show and then re-watch the episode. If I see the episode again, I will usually be able to "get into" it more and most of the time I'll end up really liking it, or at least accepting it.
The first time I saw Mind the Baby, I almost hated it (especially since I had just re-watched Family Ties.) The second time, I felt it wasn't really that bad, and by the third time (this time with my Mom)I actually liked it. I now the episode can't actually get better, after all it doesn't change, but I was more accepting of it as I watched.
So that's my advice to anyone who's interested. You should try it out if you can.

P.S. That's how I got through Star Wars - Episode 1 if anyone cares. Worked there, too.
