TV Shows You've Given Up On.

Heroes ....

Season 1 was special, it really was. Characters were given TIME ... time to grow, time to make us care.

I can't believe they can't fine someone to just say STOP ... 'we are doing this all wrong' ...

Its a damn shame.

Alright, I have another one:

Important Things with Demetri Martin.

 

[Sawyer]

Alright, I have another one:

Important Things with Demetri Martin.

Didnt that just start, though?

Didnt that just start, though?

The whole thing isn't as funny as his stand up. The recycled jokes of his having a card with 'buttons' on them which are now no longer funny.... just the overall style of the show gets annoying.

Add me to the group who gave up on Monk and Smallville. I quit the former about 2 seasons ago because of how monotonous it became, with every episode being primarily about how Monk would freak out about some random thing instead of about intelligent mysteries. I quit the latter around season 3 or 4 because, frankly, it's a terrible, terrible show that squanders the crap out of the Superman mythos and pretty much goes nowhere except for big bursts of plot progression in its season premieres and finales. I kept watching just those episodes for another season, but pretty soon I couldn't even be bothered to do that.

The Simpsons: Stopped watching newer episodes around season 12. I still watch earlier seasons almost on a daily basis, but I haven't bothered making the effort to watch a new episode in years.

X-Files: Watched consistently until season 7. Skipped a few episodes here and there, and then completely stopped following the show during season 9. I've since gone back and watched season 9, but during it's initial run I think the only episode I watched was the series finale.

Twin Peaks: Loved the first season, and the first half of the second season... but once the Laura Palmer plotline was resolved I lost interest fast.


I almost ditched 24 after last season, but this season has been good enough to keep me watching.

 

[Go Web Go!]

The Simpsons. Surprised it wasn't mentioned prior to the last post.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It was.

 

[Immortalfire]

Heroes: the season finale of season one just killed any interest of the show for me.

Flash Gordon: Love the character, thought the show would be great, but instead ended up being a show about some guy named Flash Gordon who could travel from Earth to Mongo and back again with no ill effects, and fought a villian called Ming that wasn't chinese. Horrible.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Started off with a bang with Season 1, then went downhill from there.

 

[Obi-Ron]

Family Guy

For a second there I thought I was the only one.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Now I remeber some shows I totally stopped watching;

Terminator, after season 1, I wanted to make it through the first season, but for every really interesting episode there were 3-4 horrible ones, so gone.

Knight Rider, I tried I really did, but the show was just way too horrible

My Own Worst Enemy, the constant ads during the Olympics got me to start watching, but the show just wasn't going anywhere.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Mad Men.

Sad but true..

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

House M.D. - It was a matter of stopping while I was ahead. The season four finale was so good that I realized that there was little-to-no chance it would get any better and opted to walk. That, and there was just no way I could buy that Wilson would forgive House - which we all knew was going to happen eventually.

Grey's Anatomy - The ghost of Denny (a character that's been harped on to the point that I literally groaned every time he either appeared or referred to), the abrupt firing of Brooke Smith's Dr. Hahn, the fact that Katherine Heigl's ungratefulness (i.e. whining to the press of having "nothing to do" which itself was BS) was rewarded by the showrunners and the down-right horrible treatment of T.R. Knight's George (the "everyman" character) this past season led me to walk. The first two seasons were great and it looked like they were getting their act together at the end of the fourth year. But the show's turned into "some ol ********" as Spill calls it.

Flash Forward... After only two episodes.

Does anybody else physically cringe when someone says 'What did you see in your flashforward?'

 

[Matt]

Family Guy, My Name is Earl, Sarah Connor Chronicles, and V is getting close.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I've only seen the pilot of V but I thought it was pretty promising...

Some of these finished a while ago but here goes:

Heroes - About half way through S2.
BSG - Shortly after the Pegasus 2-parter in S2.
Prison Break - Halfway through S2.
Smallville - Been watching an ep here and there since S3, just down hill.
Dollhouse - Watched all S1 and even the first couple of S2 but it's been nothing but a waste of time. Disappointment of note! I just can't watch any more.
Stargate SG1 - Just cheesey, couldn't make it through S1.
Fringe - Just got so annoying I couldn't go on.
NCIS - Somewhere in S2, it's just the same thing over and over. Bad acting too.
Ghost Whisperer - Gave it a couple eps and stopped.
Trauma - Watched the forst ep and knew I couldn't watch more.

Will add more to the list later.

Family Guy, Simpsons, 30 Rock.

(I also watched the first few episodes of Smallville and Heroes when they started, but I gave up on those waaaaaay early, so not sure they count. I'm especially embarrassed I ever watched Smallville.)

LOST - When Michael shot Libby and that other girl I liked. Wasting good characters on pointless character assassination was too much to ask from me.

Funny, them killing off Anna was the reason I kept watching
