What tv shows have you given up on/stopped watching?

[Jeeebus]

Curious what tv shows you've said enough is enough, cut your losses, and moved on from. Must have watched more than a couple episodes to qualify.

In recent memory, I'm going to say Fear the Walking Dead. I struggled through first season and tried my hardest to watch a couple episodes of season 2. couple episodes in I abandoned ship.

Somehow I watched entire first season of 24: Legacy. In the unlikely event it gets a second season, I don't see myself wasting more time on it.

 

[Humpy]

I quit watching CHiPs after a few episodes.

 

[IronWing]

All of them.

 

[nakedfrog]

All of them.

 

[nakedfrog]

All of them.

You bastard.

 

[NuclearNed]

Bates Motel, although because Mrs Ned wants to finish it we've started up again.

Marvel Agents of Shield. Sometime around season 3 it started to feel too ridiculous to continue.

 

[Schfifty Five]

Like 80% for me.

Before being married and before having a kid, I'd watch like 10-12 different TV series from sit coms, to animation, to dramas. Now the only shows I consistently watch are GoT and TWD.

Occasionally I'll watch some anime series too, such as OPM and Attack on Titan.

 

[Feneant2]

I give up on most shows I watch but the only one of note that I had supported for years was The Walking Dead. I stopped after the first episode this season and didn't start back up because it's no longer about the dead.

And my wife has finally FINALLY given up on Grey's Anatomy - that show is so stupid, they get more excitement in a single night at that hospital than most Dr's see in 30 years of practicing.

 

[IronWing]

You bastard.

Want to get married?

 

[nakedfrog]

Want to get married?

Fool me once, you can't get fooled again.

 

[cavemanmoron]

All of them.

I agree. I went to Internet only cable in 2002. I watch a very minor amount of TV over the air style,
and some when visiting other Friends homes.

 

[soulcougher73]

Too many to list or even remember. But 2 have been listed in this thread already. Agents of Shield and Fear the Walking Dead.

 

[John Connor]

Sleepy Hallow.

 

[shortylickens]

Im toughing out The Office.

In 7 seasons I have not laughed once, but the characters are amusing.

 

[thebestMAX]

Lost.
Blacklist
Fear TWD.

Im giving up on a lot more shows these days that just seem to go on and on with one mishap and disaster after the other and stupid actions on the parts of the characters with no end or resolution in sight. The 100 is getting there

Stupid comedies also. I like Kevin James but everything he does is the same so no Kevin Can Wait.

Unfortunately for me, once I start something, like a bad book, I have a hard time abandoning it in the middle so I find myself asking more and more, "Why am I watching this?" APB for example.

 

[PottedMeat]

gave up on the walking dead a while ago
blacklist - james spader stopped doing crazy shit for a bit so i completely lost interest


hmm i think i only watch 2-3 tv shows at any given time

 

[ImpulsE69]

Supernatural. Gave up around season 8. It just meandered after season 5 ended (show was great up to then). The show somehow manages to keep going on though. (what season 12 now?)

 

[cbrunny]

I'm so close to giving up Breaking Bad. Man this show is just nothing special. Very mediocre, near end of S2.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Only one I can think of is House of Cards. I've given up sometime around the 3rd season or so, it's just way too dull at this point.

 

[Riverhound777]

I couldn't watch The Walking Dead past season 5. I just became too annoyed by their overly dramatic and dumb decisions.

 

[pete6032]

House of Cards
It's good but it just got a little too far out for my taste.

Bloodlines

Spoiler: Bloodlines Season 1 spoiler

The show just got kind of boring after Danny died

EDIT - also, "given up on" is kind of in the past I think. With Netflix now we can all easily spend a rainy day or two watching an entire season of a show.

 

[Kaido]

I'm so close to giving up Breaking Bad. Man this show is just nothing special. Very mediocre, near end of S2.

Also, minerals.

There's something very wrong with you. Every episode is comedy gold.

 

[slag]

Only one I can think of is House of Cards. I've given up sometime around the 3rd season or so, it's just way too dull at this point.

Me too. it just got.. blah. Same for The Americans, The Flash, etc. All the shows are just.. well, not good anymore. I don't watch any TV except food channel on Sling every so often.

And Don't get me started on Breaking Bad. That show is so horrible, I don't see how people can watch it.

 

[Scarpozzi]

I've given up on watching the news. I'm tired of the daily Trump trainwrecks and drama. His dialogue is so poorly written that his character isn't even believable anymore.
