This goes for me too. It's what kept me watching the show in spite of it's flaws and finally brought me to the boards.I watched because I loved the characters. I continue watching and read fanfiction because of the unrealized possibiities of J/C.
(Look who's talking...)

It all comes down to the characters, really. If you take them as your own, you do watch all the episodes because of them. That's all there is to it.
What I like about VOY:
1) The OVERALL story (getting home to the Alpha Quadrant) in addition to the story of each individual episode. That's the same reason I like the Dominion War in DS9 (same reason).
2) The ability to explore new species (being the only starship in the quadrant helps)
3) 7 of 9 Seriously though, exploring the Borg was a great idea (IMO). VOY was an opportunity to explore the Borg in their own part of the galaxy.
4) The integration of two crews.

I like Voyager because of the premise and also because the Big Three - Janeway, the Doctor and Seven - to be the most interesting group of characters to appear in Trek.
Continuing the theme: I like it for the characters. In all the other Trek variants, I was indifferent to at least half the crew. In Voyager I liked nearly everyone (sorry, Neelix, but you were almost always annoying).
It had a sense of family that I liked; one which I didn't get from any of the other shows.

I agree and same goes for me too.
Before anyone questions this, I must point out that technically this is true. By original definition, a song has lyrics. Common parlance tends to ignore this.
That technically makes TOS's theme the only Trek theme song, even if the version on the show didn't use the lyrics.
Carry on.
I enjoyed the premise of VOY. I liked the fact that the crew or the main characters are not made up of near perfect personalities. In fact, I would say that VOYAGER's crew was more needed than Picard's crew. Three, I liked their two-part stories more than the other series. Four, I liked their finale more than I did the other series. I liked their holodeck programs more than the others. The series features my favorite Trek episode of all time.
But the main reason I liked VOY so much was the ensemble cast. They were an interesting bunch.
Actually, VOY could be just as heavy as TNG or DS9. I don't know where in the hell it got its reputation for being light. Is it because it wasn't another BSG - true to Ron Moore's overrated heart?

The whole fact that the crew are pretty much warm and cosy 100% of the time on their perfect ship undermines any attempt at gritiness (of which there were few)
Yeah, it could. It's a shame it never really was.
Seeing how most people talk about the guy on this board, I'd say he's pretty much underrated by a lot of people.

Oh, it is? Well, I guess that means my sideswipe doesn't really work then, eh? Damn.You know, if there was one poster here who I could actually believe was Ron Moore, I would say it is you.I'm just throwing this out there.
