Series where you only watched 1 season

[chuckman1]

So I was thinking about a show I used to watch.
I got bored in the second season and haven't watched since. That show was bleach, it ended up boring to me and lost it's comedic flair. In the first season the stakes were high and the environments and characters interested me. But I got so bored in the second season with the Soul Society I stopped watching.

So have you ever only watched one season and if so why?

 

[Gizmo1990]

Where do I start?

Heroes- you all know why.

Arrow- To me, the whole thing just screms 'we wanted to do batman but were not allowed so here is the next best thing'

Game of Thrones- I have no problem with dark fantasy, where no character is safe and they die every 5 mins but I have to actualy like them and/or give a crap and the chracters in GoT both tv and book I just did not care. I did not dislike them enough to want them dead and did not like them enough to want them to live.

Avatar: The Legend of Korra- Not a single character even comes close to the characters from The Last Airbender for me. The only episode I liked was the one where you get to see Aang in a flashback and see him kicking arse and taking names as an adult.

Stargate Universe- Why the show creators (who were total douche bags to the old fans) desided that making a Battlestar Galactica clone but with worse characters and no bad guy that ever comes close to the cylons was a good idea is beyond me but they did and it crashed and burned.

Game of Thrones. Was forced to watch it, but its a drama, and I dont like dramas, even if its one with a fantasy paint job. Plus the last episode.

Firefly

More properly OT: Gonna keep complaining about this but I got about 6 episodes into Attack on Titan before reading up on the Manga and it becomes retarded so I gave up then.
Also I tried US The Office but I reaaaaaaally hated the early seasons so that's that. Might try again sometime.

Before a couple of days ago I would've said Game of Thrones. Wasn't because I thought it was bad or anything, I was just taking a break, but I'm currently watching the second season just so I can see what's the big fuss with the third season.

Other than that, there's:

Bakuman- It was alright. I like learning about how the manga industry works, but it's a little too... shounen for me. Also, I don't like how they go on and on about how super skilled one mangaka is, and make them sound like they're the greatest, most ingenious manga artist who ever lived. Also, the romance element is questionable. I'm just not motivated to watch the second season.

Spice and Wolf- Again, I thought the first season was okay, but I didn't find the economical stuff as interesting as others do. If the second season tones that down a bit I might consider watching it.

Well there's Firefly, but I love that show.

Supernatural. I just never got into it. In fact I never got past four episodes. It's so boring.

 

[ShinyCharizard]

Both Lost and Prison Break. Prison Break got shit after the prison break and Lost just lost me.

 

[Rose and Thorn]

Probably half the shows I have watched were only the first season. It takes a lot for a show to keep me interested. Sometimes I make it further, but I still end up quiting some around seasons 3-4 if I think that the series has lost direction.

I'll probably have better luck telling you the shows that I kept watching, hehe.

 

[an annoyed writer]

24, because when you've seen one season, you've seen them all! One can only have so much "WHERE'S THE BOMB?!?!?"

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Code Geass. The first season was decent, but with a fair share of problems (such as an over-reliance on deus ex machina's and an abuse of logic). The second season faceplanted within the first episode. I watched it all the way through, but it was clear that the show had gone to shit and they had just decided to pull ideas from their collective assholes.

 

[triggrhappy94]

Fringe.
Once they started getting a way from X-Files stuff and started messing around with the second dimension stuff I decided to check out.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt still hasn't had any word on the next season, has it?

Legend of Korra still hasn't had any news on its next season either.

Most shows I watch I see past the first season, or when the first season is finished I know there is no chance of another season. I hardly watch shows on the TV that I would just stop, and if I'm looking it up online, it is because I want to see it all.

 

[AvsJoe]

Dead Like Me & Masters of Horror spring to mind. The former's first season was brilliant but they never shook things up. By the middle of the second season I just kinda stopped watching; I still enjoyed the episodes but I got bored. I bought the season 2 DVD set a couple of years ago so I could finally finish the series but I've just never had the motivation to watch it. The latter because I couldn't fucking find the season 2 DVD set anywhere!

Hey, did Undergrads ever get that second season?

Firefly

*Sheds a single tear*

 

[Therumancer]

To be honest there aren't many cases where I've watched one season of something and then just immediately dropped it with the second season. Typically if someone has me hooked to begin with I give it a chance for a whole season before I decide to just drop it. I can't think of many cases where I've stopped following something after one season, unless of course that's all they made of it, or I hear ahead of time that they ended the second season on a cliffhanger and didn't get renewed or whatever (at which I point I figure "why bother").

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

Robin Hood. There's probably been a bunch of them, but the relatively recent one. I liked the show, but the series ended well enough for me to leave it on a high note. It was getting sort of old anyway, so I decided to remain ignorant of the later series rather than have the entire show ruined by bad episodes and depressing character deaths.

 

[Darken12]

Recently, I can only think of two instances where I actively ragequit mid-season.

Supernatural, because I had a conflicting schedule and then I forgot about it. Then I tried to catch up on all the seasons I missed and promptly gave up on it again because of the excessive queerbaiting.

The Following, because I heard of this super progressive bisexual triad relationship and I was like "wow! that sounds progressive!" but then it all ended in severed throats and I was like "fuck that noise, I'm not sticking around."

 

[Aris Khandr]

I only finished the first season of Primeval. I liked the show, but when they killed off the lead, it felt like a lot of the direction was lost, and I stopped watching.

I could mention shows like Firefly and Terra Nova, but I don't think they count since they only got one season.

 

[Archangel768]

Gundam Wing
Chrono Crusade
Cowboy Bebop
etc

There's more I can't remember.

 

[Neverhoodian]

Both Lost and Prison Break. Prison Break got shit after the prison break and Lost just lost me.

Never watched Lost, but I agree with Prison Break. First season was a decent thriller drama, with a mysterious conspiracy and plot twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. It all fell apart with the second season however, when they started killing off the more interesting characters and revealed that the truth behind the big conspiracy was very, very stupid.

 

[Callate]

I wish I had only watched one season of Heroes. And Downton Abbey, for that matter.

Another vote for Supernatural, though- my group of friends who gathers to watch things on a weekly basis gave it... Maybe six episodes?... And just gave up. I know it's gone on forever, so I have to assume it finds its groove at some point, but man... Predictable, dull, and unlikable.
