Have you ever watched a TV episode that it was so bad or you had some negative view of it that you decided to drop the show in that moment? If that's the case, what episode is and why you dropped it.

I was a sometimes Seinfeld watcher, but the episode where they spent the entire show looking for their car in a parking lot was so awful I stopped watching. I can't believe some people consider that their favorite episode. Sometimes I'll watch a few minutes in reruns. The good thing about Seinfeld is that you can watch 5 minutes and turn it off, not feeling like you're missing something.

Happy Days after the shark show that did it for me

When The Simpsons had the episode "Blame it on Lisa".

Not because Riotour disliked the ep or a few Cariocas (people of Rio de Janerio) hated it as well since it showed many stereotypes...but it was a copy of "Bart vs. Australia"! The Australians hated that ep as well, but instead of Bart getting in trouble, it was Lisa...but she did it for a good cause. That...and there was no recognition of hidden gem culture unlike other Simpsons shows! Why wasn't there mention of Jose Carioca? It would be a good Easter Egg!...

And Season 15 of Family Guy was unfunny! The season had more Peter Griffin episodes than Stewie and Brian episodes! There wasn't even a "Road to ________" episode! And with Adam West gone...I won't watch any ep until May of 2018!

For me, I stopped watching the Cosby Show when the male bashing got too much. That episode where Denise and Sondra decided to be ridiculous over strippers at a bachelor party that Denise told her husband to have. Seh and Sondra were idiots and it got worst when Sondra made a rude comment to her husband Alvin. Cliff and Claire came in and wisely did not get into their conversation as stupid as it was.

What made me stopped was that episode of the men being pregnant. Within five minutes I turned the channel and never went back to it.

Lol, there are so many after the pilot. Last example: Fargo.

Not a sitcom. But I stopped watching E/R after they killed off the character of Dr. Mark Green, he was about my favorite character on the show and it just wasn't worth watching after that. He died from brain cancer.

I was a big fan of the Simpsons when I was younger, I watched it religiously but the one episode that made me stop watching it altogether was a Christmas episode. Me being a Christian, was very offended by what Bart said. "Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Santa Claus." After that episode I never went back.

Funny, that's what stopped me watching TV altogether. :lol:

The Cosby Show - I probably lost interest when little Olivia was added to the show.

Kevin Can Wait - first episode

2 Broke Girls - probably during the second season

The Great Indoors - second episode

Powerless - first episode

Well...I stopped The Simpsons after Season 13...you have more strength than I...and I don't care for "Simpson Bible Stories"...which came-out in Season 10.

This was the Cosby show?
I never watched it. It seems to have had some really absurd episodes.

I stopped watching about a year after that. It wasn't the same show any more.

This reminds me of another thread in which someone says that the Lucille Ball character is selfish, spoiled, whiny , demanding and unlikable.
It is taking the context of show out of context.

The Cosby Show - Don't know the episode title. It was the one where Rudy (or maybe it was Olivia) had a dream. In it Olivia was a spoiled brat and painted some kiddy mural on the living room wall and got all they attention. It was my excuse I guess to tune out on the show since I did not like the addition of Olivia, Rudy was bratty, and the older kids were all leaving, I was starting to lose interest anyways.

Roseanne - The episode when Roseanne gave birth to the last kid Jerry.

I never watched Cosby , but what you describe sounds typical of a show Jumping the Shark, new characters added especially if they are children or teens, old characters leaving or changing dramatically from the characters they used to be, especially if they were kids or teens, and the set-up of the household and regular characters' relationships with other regular characters changing.

Happy Days after the shark show that did it for me


Of course that was such a famous episode for being the one that signified the decline of the show that it became the metaphor for all shows that reach that point of having nowhere else to go plot-wise and creative-wise, so they have "Jumped The Shark."
I actually never saw that episode myself. I only heard about it.
Apparently a lot of people were united in thinking it was a stink-o episode.
I think I heard that Fonzie was practicing to water ski at home and to pretend that it was real, he used a toy plastic shark.

What was the actual plot of the entire episode? Was he trying to impress a girl? Did his friends dare him to take up water skiing ?

It was a 2 part episode. Fonzie got the chance to do a screen test in Hollywood, so the whole gang went with him, but when they got there, Ritchie got the screen test instead, and Fonzie was challenged to waterski by a preppy nerd. A shark was sighted so the competion was off, but Fonzie went ahead of it anyways. Ritchie declined the movie contract, but later used his connections to become a screenwriter after he left the Army.

There was one funny line. Ritchie said to Fonzie,

" If you get your legs bitten off, dont come running to me bucko!"

The Middle-The kids grew up. Even Brick is in high school now.

Modern Family-Got too snarky and pretentious, also, the kids grew up.

LA Law because of the episode Lie Harder. It totally broke my heart seeing that young boy being returned to the state by his adopted parents.

And Bill Cosby is a victim of a male bashing ambulance chasing attorney.

I am also a Christian. What's really worse is Family Guy's take on the Bible. Where Jesus rebelled against Joseph and called his father asking if he would come live with him and God in bed with a woman. Also The Newlywed Game parody of Joseph and Mary. It even offended Bob Eubanks so much that he figured out what was going on and he took his money back. He chose not to be associated with the episode
