good tv has convincing acting, an engaging plot,a set of characters you can empathise with and production values/budget that is sufficiently large to allow for decent special effects if they are needed or at least a set that doesn't wobble.

Quality television has to have all that and also offer something you have never seen before in terms of the concept.Also if it runs for more than about six eps I would expect to see some character development/evolution.

For instance I would say House is good television because of the acting and the writing but at it's core it is really just a medical version of csi. I'd say Firefly was quality tv because it managed to take the Western and sci fi genres mix them up to create a unique show.

That sounds great in theory doesn't it? In practice I am such a telly addict that I'll give almost anything a try ( except reality shows.)lol
