90210-this season has been nothing but bad storylines and breaking up popular couples.they should've just ended it last year.

I used to record & watch the soap "The Young & Restless" but gave up watching it, because I got tired of how often they switched partners & then turned around & remarried each other. Good Grief those characters all need therapy.

Glee - because it forgot how to properly tell a story.

I used to love the Simpsons when I was a kid. But as I got a little older, I became less and less interested in the show but still caught an episode now and again. But what totally turned me off is when in an episode Bart said that Christmas was the celebration of Santa Claus' birthday. Me being spiritual with a strong faith in God, took offense to that and haven't watched since and will never watch again.

But that gag wasn't a stab at Christianity; it was meant to illustrate Bart's daftness.

Yeah maybe so, but I still took offense to it. I just get uncomfortable now with watching the show after that. :confused:

CSI - The Grissom/Sara romance was beyond boring and when the show started focusing on the personal lives, I lost all interest. Grissom should have been paired with Lady Heather anyway, she was a much more complex and interesting character.

I gave up watching 30 Rock because of "TRACY MORGAN"

I gave up General Hospital in 2003 because it was ALL mob, ALL gunfire, ALL violence, ALL misogyny - ALL the time. At that same time, I was trying to deal with the sudden and unexpected passing of a dear friend and seeing all that on TV when soaps are supposed to be escapism depressed me further. One day, I said, "That's it" and turned GH off. From the various spoilers and such I've read over the years, I'm not sorry I did.

I gave up watching PASSIONS in 2005, that other soap during the day LOL

I've sort of given up on Family Guy because it's not nearly as funny or entertaining as it once was. Granted if I catch it in a rerun and there's nothing else on I'll watch it but I no longer sit around waiting for new eps.

I gave up As The World Turns in 2006. It was so bland and the stories were terrible. I switched to OLTL and loved it. Until they canned it as well.

Gave up on Family Guy this year.

I stopped watching Supernatural this year. It had a perfect series finale episode at the end of season five... it's now in season seven. I usually stick with shows until the end unless they drag on forever like ER or The Simpsons. I quit Melrose Place and 7th Heaven because so many casting changes toward the ends made them seem like completely different shows than what they began.

To all the people who have quit General Hospital, I've taken about 3 six month breaks in the past but always wind up checking in again. It's incredibly dull right now, but having it on Hulu helps tremendously. I can skim through most episodes in less than 10 minutes.

Happy Days too many unreal situations they were getting into the same with Laverne and Shirley
Mork and Mindy nothing more than a toned down Robin Williams stand up routine
Family Guy once it got renewed and put on Sundays it started to go downhill
South Park still watch it occasionally when there is nothing to watch but the show is for the most part like Family Guy is more interested in trying to push the envelope than coming up with a good story
Mash after a while it got to preachy
All In The Family if Norman Lear spent as much time developing the characters and stories than he did on shock gimmicks the show would really be a classic
Miami Vice after the second season it was clear that they were more concerned with being stylish than with storyline when you look at some of the plots the show had from 86 to 89

That is the same reason I gave up on GH too, but it took me longer, I stopped watching around 2006 or 2007.

Other shows I gave up on:

Ugly Betty--- It became pretty redundant, every episode was the same, and each season ended the same way with Betty picking herself over her men, which were always so clearly out of her league.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: They simply made too many cast changes. It became a bit too trashy for me.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: I had long stopped watching that show before it got canceled.

2 Broke Girls: There is just too many other shows on TV Mondays so I had to drop something.

After being a One Life to Live fanatic for two years, I finally gave up in 2005. I was so tired of them never giving story lines to my favorite couple Michael and Marcie and they were forever "hinting" or "beginning" story lines and they never went anywhere. They would just drop the subject as though viewers wouldn't notice. One dealt with a mysterious illness at the hospital and the other dealt with Marcie's weight issues. They'd done the stuff with Marcie's weight before, but the way they hinted at this second story seemed to be promising. Of course I was very hesitant to stop watching and sure enough right after I did they had a really good storyline on. But someone was kind enough to tape the episodes for me but when I finally watched them, I realized that I wasn't missing much at all.

Really, that's too bad because OLTL got really good in 2006 and was fantastic really until it's very end. Ron Carvalati came on-board in 07 and turned the show around. It was excellent.

The only real reason I started watching in the first place was because of Matthew Ashford playing Steven Haver in 2004. I never really anticipated watching it after his role ended, but I liked Kathy Brier and Nathaniel Marston so much that I became hooked on it rather quickly. What made me stop was that the writers weren't giving them good story lines. Come to think of it, they weren't giving them hardly any story lines. After that I just kind of lost interest in the whole soap opera thing.

That's ironic, because in around 2006-2007, Marcie and Michale got some very big storylines and were front and center. They were involved in a massive custody battle with Todd Manning and Marcie went on the run and it was fantastic.

Re: GH, seeing all the bombings, killings and shootings made me think, if I wanted to watch all this I'd turn on the news!!!!!!!!

Another problem with a long-running show is that you watch it at the very beginning, you give up on it at one point, and then a few years later, you discover that new episodes of the long-running show are still being produced, and you either get back into the long-running show by rediscovering the first episodes or watching reruns that you missed, or you hope that the long-running show gets cancelled or concludes its run with a grand finale soon.

I gave up watching 30 Rock because of "TRACY MORGAN"

Without sounding racist, he was always a little too "coon" -ish" for me. . .

"Three and a half Men." It was the "Charlie Sheen Show" - without Charlie Sheen.

This season I stopped watching:

How I Met Your Mother--- I just got bored

The Big Bang Theory--- It stopped being interesting

Revenge--- frankly by the end of season 1 I was bored with the show.

I enjoyed these shows the first few years. But then I was busy, or there was too much on. I couldn't record everything.

I've quit watching:

The Big Bang Theory (stopped around the 4th season)
Gossip Girl (stopped during season 2)
Grey's Anatomy (stopped during season 3)
How I Met Your Mother (stopped during season 5)
Law & Order: SVU (stopped watching weekly around season 8)
The Vampire Diaries (stopped during season 3)

This season, I've already stopped watching Revolution. I may eventually catch up on all the episodes if it's picked up for next season.

I more or less gave up watching "Raising Hope". The stories are just too sophmoric, unrealistic and silly. Which is a shame because honestly, I like every actor in this show (even the weird looking long haired guy). Like it's parent show My Name is Earl, they took (well Andy Garcia) a good concept and just went the wrong way with it. It was great the first season (like Earl) then it took the wrong road.

I will peek at it to find Kate Miccuci however. I love her. I like Martha Plimpton, who plays Virginia. Was in several great 1980's Gen X films, fell out for awhile and now on this show. Again, I like the actors and the characters, but the show is insipid, if that makes sense.

I have avoided The Simpsons and Family Guy. The Simpsons because it has been on way, way too long and it hasn't changed, it is not fresh anymore and it is time to close the curtain on this show. Pretty much the same with Family Guy. I will probably in the future go back and watch the episodes, but it is no longer a mainstay in my television viewing.

Law and Order SVU needs to be cancelled because it is tired. No more Stabler. I have been a fan of the L&O franchise since it came out in 1990 and did like L&O:Los Angeles and sorry that it died. L&O Trial by Jury (I think that's the name with Bebe Neuwirth, who I love,) was awesome but cancelled after a year. I just think that the L&O franchise has ran out of gas. I usually watch this now for Marishka Hargitay and Dann Florek, Ice T and Richard Belzer. Again, good actors, but the material is worn.

In September, I sample what I might like, but I am a very shrewd judge and usually give a show I might like 5 or 10 minutes and if I do not like it, will never watch it again. Other shows I will watch a few episodes to garner interest and then lose it and never watch again.

I am an American who lives in China who relies on two websites to offer current content. The networks and Hulu disallow content streaming because I live outside the USA (which makes no sense to me and honestly pisses me off.). These sites have lists upon lists of shows and I can go through a list of 200 shows and not like a one. I am a fan of about ten series. How many series are on television now?

Agree on "Revenge". I absolutely loved season 1. There has not been one good episode in season2, so I finally started DVR'ing it, now I just don't bother. They totally went in the wrong direction starting with last season's finale.

A few I have given up on through the years.

Criminal Minds. I really liked this show and I don't like many crime shows but the storylines started to become obvious and all seemed the same.

The Practice. I watched until the last season when it became about the James Spader character and many of the regular cast members were either eliminated or less important.

Happy Days. I liked it a lot but the last few years became stupid and needed to have ended earlier than it did. Fonzie ceased to be the cool guy and became a boring older guy who was uncool but thought he was still cool.

Laverne and Shirley. The last season was unwatchable and without Shirley isn't the same show.

The Andy Griffith Show. The last season became more about Mayberry RFD (which I have never seen)and less about the Andy Griffith Show. This is my mom's favorite show but even she will skip the last season and generally doesn't like the color seasons.

Little House on the Prairie. I was a fanatic about this one until the last few seasons when they started adding kids and had plots that made no sense.

Brady Bunch and Partridge Family. I grouped them together because both of them did the same thing and that was add annoying little kids. Obviously both shows ended the same year and the year they added the kids.

The Practice. I watched until the last season when it became about the James Spader character and many of the regular cast members were either eliminated or less important. The Practice was an excellent show until Spader ruined it. I refused to watch Boston Legal because of him.

Me too. I think he's a good actor and liked him in many things like Pretty in Pink but in the Practice it bothered me. I never watched Boston Legal either.

The Practice was an excellent show until Spader ruined it. I refused to watch Boston Legal because of him.he stunk on the office too

The Office - post-Michael, things just started to go even more downhill than they already were

Laverne & Shirley - California and beyond... still watched, but once Shirley left, could barely make it through an episode

Happy Days - same thing, just fizzled out as cast members left and it became the Fonzie show

Gilmore Girls - about a year or so into Rory being at college, I just stopped caring. Never really liked Logan as a romantic interest for her, so wasn't too invested in that whole storyline

The OC - Post-Marissa death, it just got bad (I know some people say it came back in the final season, but it just wasn't the same show to me)

Weeds - Keep it in Agrestic. I stopped watching shortly after the novelty of the new locale wore off.

How I Met Your Mother - At about the 5th time Ted became "suddenly in love with Robin," I just lost interest.

Glee - When it just plain got bad (sometime in season 2, no particular event triggered it... it just became more incestuous and silly)

I remember that at some point when "Dawson's Creek" moved to Wednesday nights I gave up Beverly Hills, 90210 because it had gotten very boring.

I believe it was seasons 2-3 of Dawson's Creek that aired against Beverly Hills, 90210 on Wednesday nights. Seasons 9-10 are considered the worst by many 90210 fans. I too jumped ship to the Creek. I always followed 90210 during commercial breaks and during Dawson reruns. This was a great time for fans of these shows.

Another series I gave up on in recent years; Heroes. The first season was alright, but never very good. The first few episodes of the second season were so bad, I stopped watching altogether. I would hope that show recovered some what during the final year or so.

i still watch the big bang theory every week but i have noticed that the writing does not seem as sharp this season as in years past even jim parsons as sheldon does not have as many funny lines
I thought the game night episode this season was one of the series' best episodes.

I agree seasons 9-10 (possibly even season 8) are among 90210's worst seasons ever.

But I eventually caught up with all the episodes on DVD.

I stopped watching FRASIER when Niles and Daphne got together. It just wasn't the same after that, ecspecially when they got married and she became pregnent later.
