Weight Watchers is about the only "popular" diet that really makes sense--eat balanced meals, keep track of what you eat, and exercise. I think its a very good thing for people looking to lose weight. It doesnt promise any magical results, but instead relies on good, solid advice--watch what you eat.

My problem with weight watchers is that they advertise cakes and stuff on their commercial saying "only 6 points!!" and whatnot. If you eat a slice of that cake and deplete 6 of your 21 or whatever points, you're going to have to pretty much starve yourself for the rest of the day, which will in tern slow down your metabolism.
People need to learn the actual values of foods and how they effect their bodies.
I dont eat cake because I understand that, while a small slice might "only" be 350 calories, I understand that all of those calories are made up of simple carbs and fats. I KNOW that if I ate a can of tuna at 100 calories instead, I know that im getting the protein I need to feel FULL.
