I love it. It's a test to the manager's skills to play in another league for a bit, and it's also a chance for teams to play who haven't faced each other in a long time. And it gives a chance for cross town rivals in Chicago, LA, New York, and Texas to play each other.
I love it.
I do think they should tweak the scheduling around a bit and do away with the forced rivalries. (Why do the Padres play the Mariners every year?) but I still like it.

Interleague play is a nice break from ordinary, but I hate that the DH rule is applied for games at American League teams. It puts National League teams at a disadvantage to give 4 plate appearances to the likes of Mark Sweeney for three straight games.
I think it's fine as is
Marshall: MILSWANCAs?
Ted: Wait, I can get this. Mothers I'd like to sleep with and never call again.

I would like more of it, but I do think though to enhance fans knowledge of the other league pitchers should hit in the AL parks, and DH's in the National League parts... that way those fans can see a David Ortiz, Jim Thome, Travis Hafner to name a few

I think they should have one or two more series for interleague.
On a side note, I moved this into the polls forum to show it on the front page this could have some good discussion.
