Doctor Who: 50+ minutes of environment building and flirting, then the solution to the problem gets solved in 5 minutes with a massive story bit explaining how we logically got to our solution. If it's a two-parter, add an additional hour of environment building.

Star Wars: Why does the Death Star need to be the size of the Moon? Especially with what we know about nukes? How the frick does that thing jump to hyperspace to get across the galaxy? Why did it move slowly around Endor? Why didn't they just blow up Endor instead, likely decimating the moon as well? Also, frick Midichlorians.

Back to the Future II and III: Why was Doc Brown in such a hurry to quickly get from one point in time to another? It's not like they couldn't have waited a few minutes before going back.

American Dad: It's a Family Guy rip off, but 'Murica. Also, the first two seasons where McFarland was pushing a "Republicans have gone too far with patriotism" political message were probably two of the un-funniest seasons of a comedy show ever.

Family Guy: Just a Simpsons rip-off. Also, stopped being funny when they switched to Widescreen/HD. The Empire parody was the actual shark-jump, but it was ironic that every episode since was in HD.

The Simpsons: This show stopped being funny after Season 10 or 11 and while I understand a few more seasons, I have no idea how it's still been going on for this long.

Varsity Blues: Did they all just quit the team after winning district? And were there no assistant coaches?

American Dad puts much more effort into the story as opposed to the parade of gags that makes up Family Guy.

My guess is to support what's needed to house the giant arse laser cannon that destroys planets.

Someone else may be able to answer, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't be able to.

It was at Endor being constructed while under the shield provided by the generator there.

See previous. It would leave an unfinished Death Star vulnerable.

You are being too kind that they even explain how they solve the problem. 90% of new who ends with the doctor waving the stick of lazy writing to solve the final crisis.
