Three stars is good solid entertainment.
Four stars means you never dreamed television could be this good.

FIREFLY Something has changed on television -- programs are being renewed with far fewer viewers than would have been possible even a few years ago. Star Wars: The Clone Wars has been renewed for a sixth season with about 1.6 million viewers. Supernatural has been renewed for a ninth season with about 2.1 million viewers. The Vampire Diaries has been renewed for a fifth season with about 2.9 million viewers. In contrast, Firefly was cancelled for low ratings with 4.5 million viewers and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was cancelled with more than 5 million viewers.

Doctor Who, Grimm, Revolution, and Game of Thrones return in March.
