Are there any shows that you used to enjoy watching, they you just got bored of?? Or the show took a bad turn and you stopped watching??

I used to watch "King of Queens", but now I just cant seem to like it anymore.
IMO, the wife is very annoying.


Another show is "All That", I used to love the show as a kid.
But now watching it, it is unbearable.
But now that I think about it.... the old show wasnt funny either.

"Still Standing" -- I liked it in the first season.... but this year is nowhere as good.

"The Simpsons" -- Mike Scully ruined it; it never recovered. (He's since gone on to inflict his poison pen on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and that jaw-dropping bomb he co-created with his wife last season.)

"Frasier." Creative resurgence? Nope -- still the same stale bread.

i have got bored with fresh prince of bel air

Everybody Loves Raymond- used to love it, now can barely tolerate it

Ed- same deal

Mad About You-loved it when it was on the air, can't be bothered with the reruns

The Cosby Show- needs no explaination

I've drifted in and out and in again with "Frasier."

I dont watch Happy Days anymore. I might catch an episode every once in awhile. I stopped watching Gilmore Girls. I did watch it last night and I was so lost.

Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show - the excessive marketing by Time Warner of their Road Runner service has turned this cartoon into a must-avoid show :thumbsdow

Late Show with David Letterman - just who are the guests booked on his show? :confused:

Saturday Night Live - too offensive for my taste nowadays puke:

The Simpsons - that show has got to go! :mad: I totally agree with the elder George Bush that Americans need to be more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons! :rock:

Tom and Jerry - jumped the shark with the Chuck Jones cartoons in the 1960s IMHO (Todd, is a shark "smilie" possible?)

Two shows come to mind..

Happy Days..Used to love the show..then I
got sick of it..

Full House..Used to love this show too, now it is too cutesy for my taste and N@N is playing it to death...

"Becker"-it was good when Terry Farrel was on it,but now with that blond girl, Chris, the shows gone downhill. I just heard that it won't be back next season. I'm not surprised.

"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"-I used to watch it every week for the first 3 seasons, but then it got too dramatic and a little hard to follow sometimes. After that, I still watched it, but only occasionaly.
To this day, I still don't know what that whole "war with the Dominion" thing was about. And, who or what was the Dominion, anyway?

I thought "Happy Family" was one of the best pilots I've seen in a while, but since them the show has gone downhill.

As much as I've enjoyed the show in the past, I've missed several eps of "Ed." There's too many other shows to watch in its timeslot.

I'll probably get back into the show when it moves back to Fridays, which is where it should have stayed when they put it there briefly last season.

Yes Dear

Still Standing

Frasier

Ed - though like TJL said, when it moves to Friday I may watch it and catch up with the repeats.

Fraiser

King of Queens

Becker - time slot more than anything.

Frasier

Saturday Night Live

I use to watch Malcolm in the Middle but didn't watch any of last season or this season. The show seemed to me to get boring.

That'll never happen.

Happy Days - I loved it when I was younger. I loathe it now.

Leave it to Beaver - At one time, I used to enjoy watching this show. However, constant replay on TV Land has caused me to get sick of it.

8 Simple Rules... - For some reason, I began to lose interest half-way through the first season. However, I did begin to watch it more towards the end of the first season and since then I've tried to catch it as often as possible.

Not as long as FOX is around. I'm convinced their tops executives are run by those execubots from Futurama that roll the dice to determine what shows to produce for the fall lineup. :lol:

Execubot: [Rolls dice] More reality shows!

Queer As Folk - the first season was great, turned too soap opera-esque in season 2

It sounds like you never liked the show in the first place.

I used to like (I take that back, LOVE) the show when it came out back when I was 17 years old. Over the years, however, I grew tired of it. My loss of interest started in 1994 with the Itchy and Scratchyland episode, and my interest was totally gone in 1997. When former President Bush made that statement around 1992 I was more of a Simpsons fan, but I have become far more of a Waltons fan today!

In the words of the late Rosemary Clooney, "Give me the simple life!"

I watched "The Simpsons" once or twice, but I never got into it. Still, Homer Simpson is more bearable than Jessica Simpson. :p

Friends - Love this show but it loses my interest at times
Frasier - Loved it once loathe it now
Roseanne - Love the first 4 seasons even in rerun but fade out after that
The Cosby Show and A Different World - Total loss of interest
My Wife and Kids
Married with Children

I Love Lucy - This one is a biggie, especially for me. Lately, I have noticed that I don't get near as excited when I watch I Love Lucy. I do love the show and all, but I don't get a whole lot of enjoyment out of the show like I did before. Keep in mind, that I have probably seen each episode of the series at least 10 times each over the last six/seven years (1997-2004).
Despite that I don't get near as much as enjoyment out of I Love Lucy, I still consider it my all-time favorite show. I guess I need to take a major break from watching it and maybe in five years from now, I have the immense interest of the show that I once had in the late 90's.

I agree w/I Love Lucy - I think it's the oversaturation.

Otherwise:

Perfect Strangers
Gilligans Island
F-Troop
Happy Days
Trading Spaces (keep bringing on those lousy new designers)
Saturday Night Live

I loved "Veronica's Closet" in the first season, but the second and third season were just dreadful. The series took too many creative turns...

Growing Pains i lost intrest in after awhile, when Kirk went all religious and decided he was too good for it... and the additon of the annyoing Leonardo Di Caprio didn't help.

same here, it's good to help fall in love with the show again. I vowed when Roseanne left ABC in 97 to not watch the show again for about 5-6 years, and now I love it all over again while by 96-97, I was "over" the show.

Friends - I liked the first couple of seasons but I don't watch it (or want to watch it) anymore.

The Simpsons - I used to love that show, but since around season 8 or 9 I just quit watching. And then I tuned into an episode recently and didn't laugh once. I still bought the DVDs of the first three seasons though.

The Andy Griffith Show - In the year 2000, I was really into the show, but now (for no reason at all) I just don't care about it.

All in the Family - Same as TAGS.

Married ... with Children - I loved it from 1987-1993. Then I got out of the show. However, recently thanks to FX and the DVDs, I've gotten back into the show.

I turned off ER for Without a Trace and never looked back.

I won't be watching 8 Simple Rules anymore now that David Spade has joined the cast.

I suffered through Boston Public last season but haven't watched it since.

However, I disagree about Still Standing - I thought last season was mediocre, but this season the stories and the writing have picked up quite a bit.

Frasier - The minute Niles and Daphne became a couple, a brilliant 7 season run came to an end....too bad the show continued for 4 additional seasons.

Mad About You - 4 classic seasons followed by 2 unwatchable seasons...once Jamie became pregnant, the show was terrible.

Cheers - Their 200th episode celebration panel show is the point where this show lost it...it's almost like they all got together and figured.."we've made it to 200...we can just coast from here". Sadly they managed to produce more than 70 additional episodes before calling it quits.

ER - The last couple of years, I've been tuning in more out of habit than anything else, and the way this season has been going, I won't be back for season 11.

Ive probably already said these but ohh well....

My Wife and Kids
King of Queens
Still Standing
Leave it to Beaver
All That

Any show that goes beyond fifth or sixth season. After five years most shows loses its freshness and it becomes stale. It degenerates into either a wedding, late in life pregnancy, adding too many unnecessary characters and repeating storylines from previous seasons.

Happy Days-after the first season, when they added the live audience, and it became "The Fonzie show".

Mad About You-after they had the baby, the show went downhill

Ellen-after Ellen said she was gay, what was a very funny sitcom became an unfunny show about a woman who acted as if being gay was her religon or something.

Roseanne-just started to get too dramatic. I didn't see the last season, but I heard it was HORRIBLE!!

E.R.-has gotten too soap opera-ish the last 3 years
