[Spoilers] What TV episode made you quit a show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TMC · 06-10-2017, 08:38 PM

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.

Mace Dolex · 06-16-2017, 09:27 PM

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.
