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.

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"

catlover79 · 04-19-2012, 11:42 PM

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.

Ryan Chamberlain · 04-21-2012, 01:56 AM

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.

ryan423 · 04-21-2012, 09:49 PM

Gave up on Family Guy this year.

Silly Lily · 04-22-2012, 07:19 PM

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.
