Supernatural and House :/ and I LOVE HOUSE :'( Oh and Heroes.
Also, I have seen every episode :/
Well, the series was supposed to end at what is the best point of the series: the fight between Goku and Frieza. Afterwards, it is kinda just filler though the Cell Saga was quite good. The whole Buu thing was just stupid though. That is the point where the series is just getting shitty and we all only watch because it is DBZ DAMNIT ._.sketch_zeppelin said:

I gave up on Flash Forward after about 5 episodes, I tried to like it, I really did, it just never caught my interest.
Rescue Me, my roommate and I bought the first two seasons and we watched them in 2 sittings. He bought Season 3 and started watching it, but I never bothered to catch up with him. A shame because I LOVE Dennis Leary.
30 Rock. GREAT show, probably one of the funniest on TV, but same with Rescue Me I just got behind and never bothered to catch back up.

Cowboy Bebop - It's so clearly about foreign relations and international issues in our real time that it takes away from the show. I dont want to watch an space traveling bounty hunter to hear about the whale hunter tv show turned into some strange mole rat fiasco.. I'm blowing it out of proportion to the point where im making mistakes describing it but basically, the writers did a pretty bad job at hiding the source for their materials in a "fantasy" show.
Doctor Who - Fuck off Matt Smith (and The Moff's appoach to the character in general is miles away from mine.
Caprica. I adore BSG with all my heart and soul and just started on a watch thru of all seasons. I would bleed for that show. Caprica left me cold and indifferent (sorry TV producers, the antics of teeny twerps don't interest me one bit.)
Lost. I thought from the second season that while they had some nice ideas going on there were going to write themselves in to one big fat hole that would be cheezy to get out of.

ARRRGGH! Season 2 of that show is basically any T.V. drama except the main character kills a random person every other episode, which is a shame because season 1 was nothing short of brilliant.
I used to love boondocks. I thought it was great. It seemed thoughtful and intelligent like it was trying to give a real commentary on our enviorment as a whole and perhaps persuade things to change a bit. And for a bit there I likened myself to huey. He felt like a smart kid surrounded by a mass of people who were lost in there own ignorance. But as the show went on the character was just consisently cynical and sometimes unreasonably so. And everyone besides him didn't change either they were all massive sterotypes and even normal people who weren't stereotypes were stereotypes for comedic effect.
The part that burns me is that if the show was mindless I could deal with that. Cause it is funny at many moments. But the show from the start and especially during the comics seemed to imply it was more than cheap gags and one dimensional characters. Turns out I was wrong. It's no better than most things on BET. Perhaps worse because it's the same and yet intends to be arrogant and mock and critize it's equals.

I gave up on The Simpsons and Family Guy a long time ago (the simpsons moreso). For the simpsons I just stopped watching because they just don't have the gag writers using any subtlty or realism anymore, it's just overly a bit retarded, not like the old seasons, where the comedy came from the small nuances of the characters and really clever writing.
Desperate Housewives, House, Grey's Anatomy, Lost... All of them after one season (except House, which held my interest for two).
The Simpsons has heavily stagnated as well. It lost its spark (in my opinion) after Season 11 or 12. Mind you, the movie is one of the funniest films I've ever seen.

- V, for reasons unknown. I just stopped watching it, maybe I'll pick it up again later.
- Naruto. It just keeps going on and on and on and on and on, it just wore me out.
- Heroes. Started out well, quickly grew stale and over-complicated.
- Lost. Same as above.
You shouldn't dismiss it on the first 15 minutes though, that doesn't show what the show is all about.
As for SG:U, for some reason I stick through that too. I don't know why as it's truly awful. The characters are awful, the shovelled-in space drama is awful, it's all awful. Yet I keep watching...

That's the great thing about Battlestar: character development. Of course the crew starts out as a happy-go-lucky bunch, they've never been in a war. But how they change during the course of the show is remarkable well done. As for the robo-chick...well, yeah that ís fan-service I'll give you that.PeppersResort said:

Weeeell The Big Three (Discovery Channel, National Geographic and Animal Planet) still broadcast some good stuff from time to time, even though they too are slowly tainted by some common TV problems. Especially DC is heavy on the stupid reality crap nowadays. Damned shame, I remember when they focussed on brilliant shows like Time Team...good times. *sniff*SimuLord said:
I couldn't get into Atlantis for the same reason. If I can't connect with the characters (not saying relate, that's another matter entirely) I don't really care about it. Atlantis had that problem, SG1 really spoiled me.Aurora219 said:

Not all anime is plagued by filler, but I would comment that the anime that receives typically universal acclaim has a definite start and end lined out before they set out to make it, and typically ends in either 20ish or 50ish episodes.delta4062 said:
On topic though? I gave up on TV in general a while ago.
Big Bang Theory, I just couldn't deal with the way they portray geeks etc.
We're all apparently socially awkward and have an "Illness".
