I love this show! I can safely say that it is one of my most favorite as well. There has been so much loss of big characters that were important to the show, but that didn’t keep me from watching. Now in season 15 I’m enjoying watching more than ever. Although I do enjoy going back and watching old seasons the new ones are, in my opinion, just as good. What has kept me watching is the story more than the characters and I think that’s what more people should be looking at.
