When did you GIVE UP on your (formerly) Favorite TV shows?

[AnthonyO'Brien]

The Simpsons : Put up with this until the Ke$ha "tick tock" opening. I felt the show was trying to say -"please keep watching our show. Wer'e still hip and with it. Honest!"

and YOU?

Last Sunday's Simpson was funny, poignant and relevant.

I often gave up on a show when it stops being essential viewing AND I miss it restarting a new season. Oh bugga, I'll have to catch up but I never do. I stopped watch the Big Bang Theory this way. It started being more about their relationships and without it being clear to me where the line was drawn, I didn't absolutely have to watch it, so it was lost to me.

I would have stopped watching The Walking Dead in season two, but my wife was still hooked for ages so I stuck with it. There were some masterful episodes, but not enough for both of us to stick with it to this very day. We cut it off at the Grimes pick up at the bridge.

The Walking dead- I just forgot about it...

Doctor Who- I disliked the opener of series 9- at the time I thought it was a rehash of series 6

Grimm- Season 2- it lacked a season arc and nick was pretty vanilla as a character.

Once upon a time- season 4- I can't remember why but I thought the show had too many plates in the air/too repetitive.

Arrow- Once you watch DD you can't go back.

Flash- The first season was the best and the quality slipped. Season 4 and 5 had potential but I lost interest.

Agents of Shield- couldn't care enough about Coulson and the others to watch a whole season/keep up with it.

Supernatural- got bored in season 10.

The Vampire Diaries- characters became too unlikable/plots repetitive etc.

Most of my favorite shows just went off the air or ended. But I used to like Brooklyn 99 but they just kept switching the airing times couldn't keep up. Then I just dropped cable anyway.

Buffy season 6: "Hell's Bells".

I kept watching but that's where I gave up on it. Up until then, every single character in the show was taken to the lowest, bottom of the barrel depression imaginable and the one hopeful couple were Xander and Anya. Then they broke up at the alter. Suddenly, I started laughing which was clearly the opposite of what the intention was but it finally hit me between the eyes like a crowbar that there is nothing left to this show but soap opera tactics. Sure it was always a soap opera but this is where it reached the point where every character, every last one, now has to hit rock bottom. No one can ever be positive. Every last one has to be totally depressed and morbid. That was just the point where the tactic became so obvious and forced that I could no longer take it seriously.

Northern Exposure - final season, after Rob Morrow decided to leave as a full-time cast member and they introduced a bunch of new characters. Dead show walking.

Castle - Last couple of seasons, after creator Andrew Marlowe left the show and it became obvious that nobody wanted to be there anymore. Dead show walking.

How I Met Your Mother - final season, after the writing staff received some sort of collective brain injury and somehow forgot everything about all their characters after 8 seasons.

These were probably my favorite shows when they were on:

"Moonlighting" - David and Maddie got together and Bruce and Cybil hated each other. Dipesto and Booger kept getting their own episodes.

"X-Files" - Duchovny left and they had no idea what to do with the mythology.

"Happy Days" - Richie left, I was getting older and the show kept getting more childish.

Walking Dead. The Negan story ended it for me.

Walking Dead. The Negan story ended it for me.

Pretty much the same here. I was tired of the long one-off episodes, or the ones where they’re basically selling the same story, but from THIS point of view. Just felt like nothing happened.

I slogged through last season of the Flash; finished it well past the finale air date, and haven’t picked it back up. Didn’t even finish Supergirl last season, and barely the season before.

and YOU?

I gave up on the simpsons years ago, when I realized all the plots seemed to be the same, and I couldn’t get through more than half an episode, before turning it off because I didn’t like where the story was going.
As far as shield, I couldn’t make it through season one with it’s hydra plot line, and the fact that I didn’t care about half the team. I’d pop in and out in seasons 2 and four, but it got to the point where I didn’t even care about coulson anymore.

At the very least look up what happens to Garrett at the end of season one on YouTube. Its great.
