Scandal, The Mindy Project, and American Horror Story, we knew how to quit you.
tlc38tlc38 12-10-2014, 06:37 PM The only show on that list that I watch on TV is "Scandal" and I still very much enjoy it.
I wait until "Revenge" comes out on DVD and watch it then. I've only watched seasons 1-2 so far but I do own season 3 and plan on watching it soon.
robyrob 12-10-2014, 08:05 PM 1. American Horror Story: Freak Show (FX) - never watched past the 3rd episode of the first season. Too stupid.
2. Nashville (ABC) - I thought they already cancelled this? Never watched it.
3. Modern Family (ABC) - I have never managed to watch a complete episode of this show, so I couldn't tell if it has gotten any better or worse.
4. The Blacklist (NBC) - apparently a lot of people are very excited about this show, i am not one of them.
5. New Girl (Fox) - I still watch this show - kind of - but it is really hit-or-miss; some episodes are good, but overall I am not as excited about it (I think I have at least half a dozen episodes piled up on the DVR that I haven't been able to bring myself to watch).
6. The Vampire Diaries (The CW) - I've never seen this show as I am not a 14-year old girl. If that situation ever changes, I may check out an episode.
7. Gotham (Fox) - I was somewhat excited about this show before it premiered, but it has completely blown me away with how awesome it is. Every episode has been gripping and fast paced with lots of action, the characters are deep and dark and even the baddies are likeable. The dialog is realistic, well-written and delivered well. The next batch of episodes can't come soon enough - for me this is one of the best new dramas in the past few years.
8. The Fosters (ABC Family) - I've never watched even a few seconds of this show, the promos make it look idiotic and painful.
9. Scandal (ABC) - this isn't really my type of thing, I hate political dramas.
10. The Mindy Project (Fox) - I gave up on this show after about the 2nd episode of the second season, it was just too much work to try and find a reason to keep watching.
11. American Idol (Fox) - I actually watched the entire first season of Idol, and at the end of it I realized that I really only enjoyed the goofy tryouts at the beginning and everything else was just a stupid popularity contest.
12. Revenge (ABC) - Nope, never had any interest in this show either.
I think it says a lot that almost half the shows on this list are ABC and the other half is basically FOX.
tlc38tlc38 12-10-2014, 08:53 PM ^^^regarding "Scandal": I don't really like political shows either but I got hooked on "Scandal" when I bought the season 1 DVD and caught myself binge watching. Now I never miss an episode...this is the one show that I watch live.
Yong Fang 12-11-2014, 10:48 AM The only show on that list I watch regularly is Modern Family, and although I sometimes call the The Annoying Family, the Rich Family or the 1 percent Family, I still like it and it a regular show to watch during the week.
Sort of surprised that Mindy Kaling's show is in its third season. One of those shows I thought would die at birth which is still on. Never seen it, never had much desire to see it. New Girl has the same vibe to me, young professional female working with other beautiful people. Having lots of sex, or thinking about sex, or sex, or some boyfriend of the week who broke her heart. Pass.
I tried Blacklist because of James Spader. I like James Spader. I think he would be awesome headlining a comedy series, to me, he has a quirky personality and is somewhat eccentric. But I am not into "24" like government agency like series. What made me turn it off was when a child hostage had a bomb strapped on her back with one of those stupid ass huge red digital clocks counting down and which wire do we cut, the red one or the blue one? If they went to the well with that cliche, it ain't getting any better.
Sorry to rain negativity.
I thought American Horror Story was a hit show. Again, to sound like a troll, never been into horror, zombies, the paranormal or any of that, and never have.
Gotham has no Batman in it. I never liked these superhero shows anyway, and hopefully it will be a fad and die out in a year or two from overexposure.
Dyerdv 12-11-2014, 08:29 PM I havent watched most of the shows but im kind of hanging on to The Vampire Diaries and definitely loving Gotham so far :)

Tubehead 12-11-2014, 09:33 PM I still watch Gotham I just seen mostly all the repeats lately they keep repeating the exact same episode I must have seen it last two or three times but I still like Gotham I like Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D I still watch it only time I care if they tie into movie like they did with captain American winter solider or guardians of the galaxy their going to tie into the new The Avengers age of unltron movie .
Mace Dolex 12-12-2014, 04:35 AM With the exception of Modern Family all the other eleven shows are garbage, and yeah I just base my opinions basically because I dont like them without having giving them a try.
With Gotham its ok as of now but they have to pick up the pace a bit and not have it drag for 10 seasons like Smallville.
comedyfreak 12-13-2014, 05:30 AM I gave up on Agents of Shield too boring, slow, and too much Hydra they beat the storyline to death.
Tubehead 12-13-2014, 06:17 AM I highly recommend you guys checking out ARROW IT MY NUMBER ONE Favorite show I also liking the flash is awesome too they just had cross over last week Arrow vs. the flash I highly recommend the flash Tuesdays at 8:00 pm and arrow wensdays at 8:00 pm on cw I brought the first season of arrow for 13 bucks at target I also getting the second season for Christmas I also recommend person of interest and sleepy hollow are two of my favorites I also like stalker I been watching the new nsic new Orleans
king of comedy 12-13-2014, 08:28 AM I love The Flash and I will check out Arrow.
king of comedy 12-13-2014, 08:28 AM Sleepy Hollow is another favorite of mine.
icecream 12-13-2014, 01:46 PM I dropped The Fosters this year, not worth it anymore. I watched seasons 6-9 of American Idol but dropped it when Simon left, haven't missed it at all. Tried parts of the Nashville, Revenge, Gotham, and The Mindy Project pilots, didn't care for any of them. I've seen 3 episodes of Modern Family and parts of others. It's highly overrated and Wednesday counterpart The Middle is much better, I wish their ratings were reversed. The only show on this list I still watch is The Blacklist, I've seen every episode and will continue to watch on Thursdays.
icecream 12-13-2014, 01:49 PM I gave up on Agents of Shield too boring, slow, and too much Hydra they beat the storyline to death.I call it Marvel's Agents of Boring, watched the pilot and no interest in coming back. I won't be watching Agent Carter or any other Marvel show that comes.

I agree about the The Fosters. The first 10 episodes back in the summer of 2013 were great. But since then the show has gone a family drama to the Brandon and Callie show with this "Braillie" shipping relationship crap.
I also agree that The Middle (very underrated) being much better than Modern Family. I will never understand the love and hype over that show. I just find it dull and unfunny.
Other than that, I don't watch anything else on this list.
