Series where you only watched 1 season

[Henrik Knudsen]

Stopped caring about "The Walking Dead" in season 2 as well. It makes the same mistake as GoT and opens up too many storylines and characters. It should have focused on Ricks Group, it did that well.

"Homeland" I never even finished season 1, what a shitload of anti-muslim propaganda in my eyes. And mind you, I'm not a Muslim.

"24" I only watched season 1. Not for any direct hate reasons, but it seemed a good place to stop. Might have watched some random episodes of the following seasons but not whole seasons.

House was old after one season.

Lost disappeared up it's own ass and didn't even try to make sense.

 

[Gone Rampant]

Got Alias season 1 at Gamestop once when I was getting Buffy Season 2. Was boring, so I didn't bother to watch the other few seasons.

 

[DugMachine]

The Office. I actually liked what I saw but I got busy and stopped watching and now I'm just too lazy to pick it up again.

 

[00slash00]

i know this is blasphemy but, arrested development. i recently watched all of season 1 because the new season was coming out and everything talked about how amazing the show is. i just couldnt get in to it

 

[Frezzato]

I only finished the first season of Primeval. I liked the show, but[...]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.

Yipes! Spoilers, man! Spoilers! I've seen three seasons though, and you're right, but [SPOILERS!].

The show came out in 2007. If you haven't seen it in the last six years, you obviously can't care that much about being spoiled.

That's true, but users here seem to be discovering stuff well after the fact. That might be mostly anime and games though. Yeah, in retrospect I probably wouldn't care about spoiling Primeval, but not for its age; I'd care more about not spoiling shows like Sherlock and Black Mirror.

 

[antigodoflife]

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

^^^ This

Also, Angel and that season is incidentally Season 5. None of the other seasons do it for me, I'd watch an episode here and there and it's just so BORING! but Season 5, watched it all the way through religiously.

 

[FoolKiller]

Walking Dead.

*hides behind anti-fanboy shield*

...can I come out? Is it safe?

I liked the first.. half? 2 thirds? of the first season, but when the show introduced the whole 'best friend is sleeping with wife' plot I just lost interest. I'm watching a zombie show, I don't want some bold&beautiful-style melodrama jammed between the survival horror >.>

I lost interest in series 3. The should rename the show to "Exactly what not to do in a post apocalyptic zombie filled world"

They are only getting progressively stupider. It's a shame since it started out well.

That's because its now severely different from the comics. Those are some good stories.

If I like a season of a show, then I'll make it past the first season but it usually doesn't make it through two.

Also, I drop shows where they insert a teenaged pregnancy into the main characters lives because its such a game changer that the writing sucks after that ie. My Wife and Kids, and Everwood

24

when around 22:30 everyone and everything abandoned common sense and logic so that the DRAMA!! knob could be cranked to 11. kthxbai.
re: TWD. I felt the same like ^ but I made my peace with it. I have accepted that my disbelief is suspended with a verrry thin thread, but it has gotten its act together enough for me to be likeable.

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

My Little Pony. I really couldn't stand it

sorry!

On the other hand, Batman: The Brave and the Bold is the best series ever and I love aquaman and that's all i have to say about that.

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.

I, personally, loved SGU. I watched all the stargates in order, and while of the three it's definitely the least awesome, it's still pretty damn awesome. I do agree,however, that it was unfair to the SG fans, as it wasn't stargatey enough to be stargate, but on its own, I'd count it as a pretty good Sci-fi.

OT: I'm gonna be very unoriginal here and say firefly.
all those feels.

Honestly I was mostly just underwhelmed by the show. It was the way one of the show creators, Brad Wright, treated the old fans that pissed me off the most. Before the show aired there was alot of negtive stuff said about the show by old fans due to the change in tone. Brad Wright came out and said that they did not need the old fans because the show was so good it would find new and better fans. Then when it tanked in the raitings and was cancaled he came out and said this

(direct quote)
'I don?t think if we, for any reason, go away, it is an issue necessarily of the quality of the product that we?ve been making. I think getting moved on the schedule has hurt us. And the fact that some of the fans that liked SG-1 and Atlantis were so angry that they have deliberately hurt us, which is unfortunate.'

How did we hurt him or the show? Did we go into people's homes and force them not to watch the show? Did we use our magic superpowers to alter the ratings? No. We simply did not watch. We were told that we should not watch. we were told we did not need to watch because the show was sooooooooo good they did not need the old fans.

But no it was all our fault.

 

[DudeistBelieve]

Walking Dead.

At certain point I think I realized they were just writing the series as they went along, and I don't care for that.

 

[Raikas]

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

These two are my answer as well. I liked them enough at the time, but didn't care enough to try to follow them beyond that (lucky for me, given for what I've heard for people who stuck with them a little longer).


I'd have a much longer list if the question were half a season though!

 

[BloatedGuppy]

A few I can think off offhand...it's pretty rare for me to quit a show once I'm even slightly involved. I also tend to cherry pick pretty decent shows.

SHOWS I QUIT AFTER 1 SEASON, OR DURING THE FIRST SEASON, OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER ONE EPISODE

1. Heroes. Got most of the way through season one, realized it was god awful, stopped immediately.

2. Firefly. Pft.

3. Venture Bros. I don't find "funny voices" particularly hilarious.

SHOWS I QUIT WATCHING, BUT MADE IT PAST 1 SEASON

1. Dexter. Quit after season 2. Series abandoned its premise, IMO, turned the protagonist into a sympathetic vigilante instead of the (far more interesting and ballsy) sociopath he started out as. Also got increasingly far fetched. I hear it rallied in later seasons.

2. Lost. Quit watching Lost mid-way through season 3, eventually returned and finished out the series.

3. House. Seen one episode, you've seen em all.

4. CSI. Seen one episode, you've seen em all.

5. The Killing. Started out as a promising "realistic" look at a murder investigation, turned into a stupid red-herring laden whodunit. Currently giving S3 a chance. S2 remains unwatched.

6. Community. Departure of Harmon was the death of everything good or funny on that show.

SHOWS I AM CONSIDERING QUITTING

Walking Dead. It's just not very good.

 

[Dangit2019]

I thought this was supposed to be a grounded setting, not comicbook land

The irony of this statement is too much to bear.

OT: 24. I kept trying to get past the first season (hell, my parents own the whole series), but I could never stick with it.

Yes, I know it's based on a comicbook, but that doesn't mean it has turn into something like Resident Evil with talking computers and selfdestructing lab facilities. Especially after it made it clear it wasn't going for the "fantastical", but for a somber and grounded portrayal.
