Just the fact that, unlike the "consistent" MacGyver and other clones of
its genre, there is actually something *completely different* to
anticipate each week!  Sure, it's a hit-and-miss proposition, but to me
it's a lot better than the same old "white bread" every time!
P.S. Despite your implying the contrary, I've found most of the episodes
     I've seen definitely worth "waiting for" ("waiting for" what?
     I don't stand in line to watch the show :-).
