TWD has been entertaining enough so long as you didn't expect too much.  Now they are just milking the cash cow and season after season goes by with basically nothing happening in the way of moving toward a conclusion or finale.

Gilligan's Island is honestly a much better comparison, on multiple levels.

Well, it is based off of the comics, which haven't ended (at least I don't think they have, I quit reading around issue 60ish). So it's not like Lost where they supposedly had an ending planned and were headed there, or MASH where you know eventually the war ends. This is more like a Doctor Who, where you have an arc that plays out over a season or two, then it moves on.

Unfortunately, they don't have as much depth as their source material, so it's getting to be more about filling up time.
