View Full Version : What shows did you like and then start hating after a while
liane49 06-04-2013, 11:42 AM Happy Days I watched it for a long time but then it got to me and I forget why.
Seventh Heaven I watched it for a long time but then the kids grew up and they weren't as cute, they added new charators I hated, some old ones left, every week they would "preach" to you about some message and I hated that
Golden Girls I still watched it until the end but it wasn't as funny becasue it was the same old charactors with the same old jokes.

Agreed.
Everyone says season two and three are gold, but I stopped watching after a few episodes into season two. The show just got really bad.

treky 06-05-2013, 12:00 AM HAPPY DAYS-I used to watch it all the time when I was growing up, I even used to watch the daytime reruns on ABC. I didn't even mind when it became "the Fonzie show" and they added that ANNYOYING live audience and changed the Cunninghams living room with no explanation.
But I look at it now and I think "I actually used to like this ****???"
PrettyinPink55 06-05-2013, 12:15 AM I totally agree with 7th Heaven. The show was unwatchable in its last seasons.
EmoJoe 06-05-2013, 12:41 AM Agreed.

Different strokes! I can see why the concept-y stuff turned people off, but personally I think Season 2 is one of the best TV seasons of all-time.
Umm anyway, Glee is the one that comes to mind for me. It was always kind of silly, but Season 1 was a pretty fun musical drama-comedy that didn't take itself too seriously. Then in Season 2 they decided they wanted to be the MOST IMPORTANT SHOW ON TELEVISION and it got laughably bad.

I stopped watching Glee after the first season. It just got too over-hyped, too over-the-top, and too larger-than-life. Plus, I didn't like the inconsistency in the storylines.
cherryade 06-05-2013, 02:18 AM I thought the best version of Community was late season 1 and season 2. Season 3 was very hit-and-miss, especially towards the end (although "Remedial Chaos Theory" is the best episode of the series), and I didn't bother watching season 4 after hearing bad things. I have a lot of faith in season 5, though.
I loved Parks and Recreation until season 4, which completely lost its charm and I gave up on it.
The Office was bad after season 5, and became increasingly unwatchable after Carrell left. Its ending was a mercy killing.
Scrubs peaked during its first two seasons, but became awful after season 5. Season 8, the last "proper" season, was great and solved most of the shows problems.
The Simpsons was great until season 9 and has been mostly awful since then.
Futurama was nowhere near as good after it was revived, although "Prisoner of Benda" is probably my favourite Futurama episode.
I loved the first 6 series of Red Dwarf but not much of what followed.
I agree with others about Glee, although Nip/Tuck was even worse.

As sad as I am to admit it, I agree with you. I still have half of this season sitting on my DVR and I'm in no rush to watch it. :/
EmoJoe 06-05-2013, 11:51 PM I love Parks and Rec, but this season was just not good. Seasons 2-3 were the best and some of the best TV I've ever seen. Season 4 was a step down, but still pretty great. But the show just completely lost its luster this season...like they don't know where to go anymore. I'm hoping things pick up next year.
Yong Fang 06-06-2013, 05:48 AM The current NBC show Revolution was interested for a short while, because I like dystopian type stories. I really enjoyed the fight scenes. It also had Giancarlo Esposito who was the bad guy Gus on Breaking Bad. But after a time, I woke up and thought how stupid this show is. The story itself is stupid. Nothing can just STOP electricity and fuel driven engines. That is ridiculous, unless it was from an alien source (which it could be, who knows).
The lead female actor is really sexy with beautiful hair. That's the problem! The "good" characters have been living this caveman life for several years and are now roaming about the countryside with no sanitation or clean shelter. The characters however have clean clothes and are groomed with makeup. Fail.
My second choice is the original three seasons of Arrested Development. First season was hilarious!!!!! The second season was so-so, and the third season was so bad that I do not think I watched the last episode. Lost my interest, bad, convoluted.
UMFaninMD 06-07-2013, 07:02 PM Everybody Loves Raymond. It became more mean-spirited and it wasn't necessary.
jimpickens 06-08-2013, 01:30 AM Happy Days first three seasons were good but after that with the live studio audience and the over the top acting and plots I said **** it although I did started watching on and off again during the 80s.
Hee Haw loved the network and early pre network years when it was still about country music but as the series progressed it became more like your typical dime a dozen variety show and had lost allot of the charm it had earlier especially when Buck Owens left and half the original cast either quit or died.
Married With Children
Mork And Mindy nothing but a TV version of Robin Williams stand up act.
Sons Of Anarchy way too much soap opera bull**** and is now apparently a place where washed up actors can revive their careers.
bmasters9 06-08-2013, 04:50 AM What's Happening!! was pretty good in its first 2/3 of the run, but I then bought #3, and I had to get rid of it. #3 really was as awful as it was said it was.
Gertie1999 06-09-2013, 02:52 PM Really any shows I watched to much of.
tvfan25 06-10-2013, 10:12 PM Happy Days was good until Richie got married and left, then they brought in the character of KC, and also Ted McGinley and Billy Warlock. Also, The Fonz started wearing cream colored jackets and became a teacher?? Come on, he's the Fonz. He needs the leather jacket!
Loves Old Tv 06-12-2013, 09:26 AM HAPPY DAYS-I used to watch it all the time when I was growing up, I even used to watch the daytime reruns on ABC. I didn't even mind when it became "the Fonzie show" and they added that ANNYOYING live audience and changed the Cunninghams living room with no explanation.

Plenty of shows changed sets without explanation. I Dream of Jeannie is the first that comes to mind. They explained the changes in the final season when Jeannie and Tony were getting married, but not the change to the more mod version of Tony's living room when the fourth season began. Tony's bedroom went from double to single door. The kitchen entrance changed from the white swinging door to the very mod etched-glass door and pass-through windows, with the brown coloring. Jeannie's bottle changed from a bar on one side of the living room to a chest on the opposite side. The walls became brown-paneled. All of the furniture changed, too.
At least with the Happy Days set, the reason was well-known. The show was being done before a live audience beginning in season three, so both the Cunningham home and Arnold's sets had to be reduced in size, to fit on one soundstage, in front of an audience of several hundred.
Happy Days season three is, IMHO, one of the best examples of good sitcom quality of that or any era. The stories were consistently good, with only a couple of klinkers. The characters were at their best. Having Fonzie move over the garage was a brilliant plot device to make him a part of the family. Finally seeing Arnold was great, and Pat Morita added a lot to the show. Laverne and Shirley were unveiled and quickly spun off. Ralph became a bigger character. The next couple of seasons were still quite good. As much as I liked Al--and they eventually made him a larger character than Arnold had been--Arnold was much funnier. I was not a big Chachi fan, but when he was still young, it was OK. I did like Lori Beth, as she seemed the kind of girlfriend a guy like Richie would have. As the guys went to college there were still some good episodes, but it was getting harder to maintain the quality, because the characters were no longer the naïve teens who needed to be shown the world by the Fonz. We all know about the show jumping the shark--in this case, literally. The fire at Arnold's also symbolized the passing of the old show. When Richie and Ralph left, so did I. But the live audience was a crucial part of the show's success, and the quality of seasons four through seven was still good, even if not as good as three.
Yong Fang 06-14-2013, 09:46 AM I love Raymond.
I did see an episode of Family Guy yesterday where a joke was about Everybody Loves Raymond, with Raymond loafing on the couch and his wife telling him that his mother insulted her some kind of way, with Raymond stating after nine years he does not care anymore and the wife (who was called Patty instead of Deborah for some reason). Patty/Debra gets mad and smashes a wine bottle and is coming after him.........cue piano lyrics.
MrCleveland 06-14-2013, 03:16 PM The Simpsons-I watched the show between 1997 and 2002, I also watched the syndicated version of "The Simpsons" to make it up. Then when Season 13 showed-up and wasn't going to cancel (and probably won't) I just said **** it.
That 70's Show-The 1st 3 Seasons were fun, then Eric and Donna were starting to have their relationship get serious and I forgot about the show. I'm sure many have turned-off "That 70's Show" when Topher Grace left....
And is it me or does "That 70's Show" have a lot of comparisons of "Happy Days"?
Patty Duke 06-16-2013, 10:23 AM Criminal Minds, NCIS and a few others like it because they just seemed to get old. You knew what to expect.
EmoJoe 06-16-2013, 01:10 PM Oh yeah, I love the first 8 seasons of The Simpsons a lot - maybe the best TV show of all-time. But anything from Season 10 or so on is basically unwatchable.
tlc38tlc38 06-16-2013, 02:41 PM It's not that I dislike any of the shows on my list it's just that I kinda lost interest in the later seasons. I may go back later and try to rewatch them on DVD.
--Hot In Cleveland (never made it past season 1)
--Ellen (once she came out the show went downhill quick. I understand why she did it but for the sake of the show I think her character should've stayed straight.)
--Family Matters (season 9 was down right dumb especially after they replaced Hariette with some dumb broad.)
--The Drew Carey Show (I didn't much care for the episodes after they hooked Drew and Kate up.)
--Hangin' with Mr. Cooper (just the opposite with this show. I hated the first season but seasons 3-5 were good.)
--Laverne & Shirley (once Shirley left I didn't much care for the show, even though it was enjoyable at moment.)
--Law & Order: SVU (it's unwatchable now without Stabler. Benson is awesome but Benson and Stabler are better together.)
--MADtv (every show had at least a few good sketches but after Alex Borstein left I quit watching every week and just caught it every now and then.)
--Unsolved Mysteries (I like Dennis Farina as the new host BUT the new music sucks big ones.)
I'm in the minority here but I actually liked Roseanne's final season.
James28 06-17-2013, 02:40 PM I tried to like South Park as soon as the edited-for-syndication reruns came out, but the combination of the stupid "sliding timescale" and the fact that it is nothing but preachy current events crap made this show unwatchable. Plus it can easily get a child in trouble at school several times. :mad:
I hope this program ends (for real) after Season 20. :wave:
