What TV show do you look back on regretting watching?

[AussieFanKurt]

I'm probably going with Walking Dead tbh

[Texas_Ranger]

The Wire

[IronMaxipad]

Lost
Dexter
Heroes

[jeebus]

Lost
Heroes
Las Vegas

coincidentally, I watched all those while in Iraq and because I was bored.

[spursncowboys]

The Wire
Are you nuts? Best show EVER!

[spursncowboys]

Weeds. I gave it a season, and that was way too generous. Idiotic writing and character developments. Seemed like no research whatsoever and the plots were overrecycled! About the only thing original was the basic premise and even that was developed pretty bad.

[Spurminator]

Home Improvement

[AussieFanKurt]

Lost
Heroes
Las Vegas

coincidentally, I watched all those while in Iraq and because I was bored.

Agreed with on Heroes... what a shit show

[thispego]

Home improvement? Really?

[Spurminator]

I mean, I was like 12. But still, those 20 or so half-hours of my life wasted when I could have been playing a good video game.

[Blake]

Saved by the Bell: the college year

[Reck]

Rescue Me
The 4400
Pirson Break
Heroes

No idea what compelled me to watch Rescue Me to the very end. What a boring ass show.

Prison Break had a great 1 and a half seasons and then they went in "retarded, what the fuck this doesn't make sense mode."

[timtonymanu]

Sadly, I have to admit

Jersey Shore (:lol)

also The Big Bang Theory. This was around the time I was looking for a new show to watch. Everyone kept saying watch the Big Bang Theory. Watched it. Thought it was okay. Then Season 3 came around and I fucking regretted it.

[ohmwrecker]

Why would you watch a crap tv show more than once?

[Thebesteva]

OP why the Walking Dead? It's a really good show with the exception of the last few episodes tbh

[Jacob1983]

Girls(watched about 5 minutes of it and after seeing the chubby creator of the show topless that pretty much turned me away from it)
Shameless(the U.S. version)
Downton Abbey(this show is extremely boring)

[Capt Bringdown]

Heroes - The second season was so bad it made me question my enjoyment of the show as well as the super-hero genre in general. The answer was "no," and I've shied away from superhero crapola ever since.
Taken - Steven Spielberg produced sci-fi, what could go wrong? Answer: everything

[Avante]

I totally gave up. Total shit out there today with the exception of Burn Notice and no doubt something thinks it sucks also.

Once upon a time....

Route 66
Gunsmoke
Bonanza
The Rockford Files
The White Shadow
Have Gun Will Travel
The Rifleman
Wanted Dead or Alive
Perry Mason
The Alfred Hitchcock Hour
The Twilight Zone
M*A*S*H
Cheers
Rawhide
Wagon Train
Maverick
Cheyenne
I Love Lucy
Amos & Andy
The Cisco Kid

....what happened?

No doubt if they tried a new American Bandstand some kid would get stabbed.

All those reality shows are ruining TV.

[baseline bum]

Boardwalk Empire.

[JudynTX]

Once Upon A Time
Alcatraz

[TE]

Rescue Me
The 4400
Pirson Break
Heroes

Prison Break had a great 1 and a half seasons and then they went in "retarded, what the fuck this doesn't make sense mode."

Prison Break was awesome until the 3rd season. Once they did an entire season in that other prison it ruined everything. The writers literally said fuck it...if they would have made the escape unsuccessful on the 1st season it might have been a benefit but we'll never know.

Still, the 1st season and 2nd season were pretty good imo.

[Latarian Milton]

almost every TV show i've watched i'd later feel it a waste of time tbh.

[Cane]

Recently-ish :

Battlestar Galactica - Not even a scifi nerd like me could finish the final season. The show jumped the shark when cylons became more human

Game of Thrones - Won't lie the last season was boring as hell, they couldn't fill enough entertainment for hour long episodes. Relies on shock value to make up for poor production and boring characters. There better be a payoff with the Dragon lady and the boring Starks...goddam that romance storyline with the nurse felt rushed and well, crap (I will keep watching though)

Walking Dead - First season or two was solid enough, but this show is more of an example of the potential of a Zombie TV show instead of being a quality show in itself. Too much stupid happens and I feel more sorry for the zombies than most of the characters

The Wire - Very disappointed but still in the second season. The acting, lines, and characters feel wooden and boring. I understand the show is unique in its scope and its socioeconomic criticisms, but as a piece of entertainment it's not very entertaining and feels very dated

Mad Men - Can't get past the 2nd season. Characters are good, show is boring though.

Thank you for your time

[TE]

Yeah, I just never got into Game of Thrones... I watched maybe two episodes and called it a day atm.

I'm surprised you didn't put matlock or murder she wrote. Maybe because they weren't on nick at night?

[FkLA]

Thank you for your time No problem bro.

[FkLA]

Deadwood, only because I ended up so pissed off that HBO actually pulled the plug on such a great show. There was no proper ending tbh.

[mrsmaalox]

I won't stick with anything that doesn't catch my attention within the first 15 min or so. But I did stick with True Blood for the first season and half the second season, gradually got so bad I had to quit. Once they established the vampires, they started introducing every other possible supernatural creature that I just don't care about. And every single episode someone ended up chained up in someone's basement.

[Blake]

Battlestar Galactica - Not even a scifi nerd like me could finish the final season. The show jumped the shark when cylons became more human

i hate that it peaked my interest just enough to watch that crap through to the end.

:lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

wasting ur time watchin a first season series, only to hear the 2nd season has been canned when it got really interesting...

[CuckingFunt]

I don't understand the idea of regretting watching something you've chosen to watch.

There are a ton of shows I've watched that weren't very good. Or shows I've watched for reasons I can't figure out. Or shows I've hate watched. Or whatever. But I don't regret having watched them.

[DarkReign]

Easily Heroes. First season, good. I didnt make it through the second season it was so bad.

[pookenstein]

Normally I give a new show two or three episodes to catch my interest. If I like it, Copper for example, I continue. If not, Grimm for example, I stop.
There're only two shows I watched a complete season and regretted it:
1. Las Vegas
2. Revenge

[irishock]

does 2002 WCF re-air count as TV show

[AussieFanKurt]

OP why the Walking Dead? It's a really good show with the exception of the last few episodes tbh

I just hate everyone in it except Daryl.. its poorly scripted... poorly executed and had an entire season of talking over feelings. Just wish it was done better. I still watch it I guess but I regret wasting time watching it when I shoulda spent the time watching Sons of Anarchy

[Death In June]

Boardwalk Empire, Lost, Carnival, Weeds, Alcatraz, Walking Dead, Burn Notice

First 15 minutes really? :lol

There are only a handful of shows that really grab your attention.

I used to give up on shows within episodes myself and I must say, I missed out on some good shows because of this.

[Venti Quattro]

Chuck

[lefty]

Lost

Stopped watching in the middle of season 2

What a shitty overrated show

[lefty]

Chuck
That Polish girl is easy on the eyes though

[Venti Quattro]

That Polish girl is easy on the eyes though

Yes, I still love her.

[jeebus]

Lost

Stopped watching in the middle of season 2

What a shitty overrated show
I got to about season 3 and it seemed like they spent 6 or 7 episodes about some guys being stuck in cages. I figured that was enough of that bullshit.

[jeebus]

i hate that it peaked my interest just enough to watch that crap through to the end.

Mother frackers
Yeah, the ending was either you like it or hate it. But, the show was friggin awesome up to that and had the best battle scenes ever. EVER.

[IronMaxipad]

Chuck
I stopped at season 3 because i had class monday nights so couldn't watch season 4 and never bothered to catch up.. i take it i stopped at a good spot?

[Venti Quattro]

The fun all died after Chuck and Sarah got married. So basically the 5th season was garbage.

[Mark in Austin]

Deadwood, only because I ended up so pissed off that HBO actually pulled the plug on such a great show. There was no proper ending tbh.

This. What makes it even worse is they pulled it for the absolute abortion that was John from Cincinnati

[IronMaxipad]

Wow.. Thanks for spoiling it bruh. :cuss:pctoss

[DeadlyDynasty]

I hate that the Hitler Channel went the Reality-TV route several years ago, since I wasted hours watching war documentaries (and still do).

[Avante]

TV needs another.....

VS5GUUA5ze4

[Trainwreck2100]

Frisky Dingo...............we got no second season

[manufan10]

Amish Mafia. :lol

[JoeChalupa]

I can't think of any because if I don't like it I don't watch it. I don't currently follow any series. I am watching The Bible Series on the History Channel and do follow Hell's Kitchen.

[Brunodf]

The Mentalist. 80% filler

[ErnestLynch]

Pretty much all of 'em.

[Creepn]

Oz.

[DMC]

The reason you regret is because the show jumped the shark and you kept watching hoping for something interesting to happen but it never did. Like the Sopranos who's writers sold out and basically just said "fuck it" and ended it mid scene. All the "deep meaning" people surely piped up and commented on the underlying messages but the truth is it was a lazy offering. I could take a shit on canvas and someone would see a message in it, probably an Art History major.

[AussieFanKurt]

Oz.

as if! Probably my favourite show. Why?

[AussieFanKurt]

Frisky Dingo...............we got no second season

what you mean? there was a 2nd season

[Trainwreck2100]

what you mean? there was a 2nd season

they just split the first one in two tbqh

[AussieFanKurt]

they just split the first one in two tbqh

meh, ended fine enough for me

[Trainwreck2100]

meh, ended fine enough for me

it ended with a cliffhanger which was alright, but it was fucking hilarious

[AussieFanKurt]

it ended with a cliffhanger which was alright, but it was fucking hilarious

they coulda done more I guess but fuck yeah it was, love adult swim so much

[DesignatedT]

Prob Hell on Wheels even though it's still going. Pretty shitty show tbqh.

Also, the way Deadwood ended really bummed me out and I feel like I wasted time with that one as well.

[koriwhat]

lost but then again i was into in for most of the series.

[The Reckoning]

probably any TV show ive ever seen thats not a documentary

um, I disagree. I think they knew what they were doing with that last scene. and it was very well done to that end. the opposite of jumping the shark, more like going out on top, when everyone didn't think they were really going to have to end it until the last minute.

[koriwhat]

probably any TV show ive ever seen thats not a documentary

married with children... never!

[The Reckoning]

ok married with children was pretty awesome. and home improvement. and cartoons.

[AaronY]

Lost, Lost, Lost, a thousand times Lost.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Friends - david schwimmer
how i met ur mother - the clown that plays TED

i hate douchebag characters that keep on chasing the same girl after all seasons of the franchise, cause of this i dislike the actor/character so much that whatever new production they participate in, i cant forgive them even if they give you good job on new roles....u guys know what i mean

[oh crap]

friends AND how i met your mother? 2 unbearably horrible shows and you somehow managed to watch both?!

[TDMVPDPOY]

friends AND how i met your mother? 2 unbearably horrible shows and you somehow managed to watch both?!

i dont watch the whole series, just here and there, but u know what i mean even if ur a casual viewer of the show...its always the same shit
