Not a TV show really, but
The Pacific
Watch the first few episodes and gave up. Heard it got better after that but never took the time to watch them.
Jersey Shore
Forgot about that show... pirate bay I come.
Exactly, BB is one of the best damn shows out there right now.
LOL. That was right about the time the show became unwatchable for me too, though I still finished out the season. Amazing that what looked like the best show in the history of TV has now become truly awful for the majority of its run.

In his book Planet Simpson, Chris Turner describes "The Principal and the Pauper" as the "broadcast that marked [the] abrupt plunge" from The Simpsons' "Golden Age", which he says began in the middle of the show's third season. He calls the episode "[one of] the weakest episodes in Simpsons history", and adds, "A blatant, continuity-scrambling plot twist of this sort might've been forgivable if the result had been as funny or sharply satirical as the classics of the Golden Age, but alas it's emphatically not." Turner notes that the episode "still sports a couple of virtuoso gags", but says that such moments are limited.
Many others agree that the episode signaled a decline in the series. In a 2007 article in The Guardian, Ian Jones argues that the "show became stupid" in 1997, pointing to "The Principal and the Pauper" as the bellwether. "Come again? A major character in a long-running series gets unmasked as a fraud? It was cheap, idle storytelling," he remarks. In a 2006 article in The Star-Ledger, Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz cite the episode when asserting that the quality of The Simpsons "gets much spottier" in season nine. Alan Sepinwall observes in another Star-Ledger article, "[The episode] was so implausible that even the characters were disavowing it by the end of the episode." Jon Hein, who coined the term "jumping the shark" to refer to negative changes in television series, writes in Jump the Shark: TV Edition, "We finally spotted a fin at the start of the ninth season when Principal Skinner's true iden y was revealed as Armin Tamzarian."
Married With Children got really bad when they introduced 7, when Bud started getting laid, and when Kelly became an old waitress.
The Office
Chuck - after the 3rd season
Dexter - Season 3 was ing terrible. Season 4 recovered a bit and from what i heard season 5 is also terrible.
simpsons 5 years ago. i gave breakout kings a shot. probably because i liked the blond. gave up the sopranos after season 1 just because i dont have the time to watch the entire season. , same with shield.
Finally gave up on One Tree Hill this season.
Heroes - the second season was a disaster.
I've pretty much given up on series TV, there's too many good movies to watch.
That's a shame, a lot of good stuff out there TV series wise and Netflix is perfect for binging on whole seasons.
Missing out son. TV has been awesome this past decade.
The only thing that sucks about a good TV series is catching up, and having to wait for new eps
That's why I buy them on DVD, then finish a season a week. Or the Netflix on demand.The only thing that sucks about a good TV series is catching up, and having to wait for new eps
Jon Seda: The Miniseries.
That was a disappointment after Band of Brothers, and that might be unfair though it is the same dudes making it after all. I've said elsewhere it's possibly due to disparate stories and source materials.
I also watched the first few seasons of Weeds in a marathon, but didn't get past the first episode of this last season.
The Good Wife
Weeds was pretty good for the first couple seasons then went bat crazy.
Stargate: Universe. Gave up after half a season. What a piece of show.
I gave up on Lost after a couple seasons. Finally went back and watched it all recently. Not as bad as I remembered still pretty meh.
Gave up on Battlestar Galactica during the 3rd season. Which really, really disappointed me because the show is still one of my favorites for the first two seasons.
Lost because it didn't make any damn sense.
House because it was the same plot every episode, although I've been told it's good this season.
Many of the ones already mentioned, like Heroes, Jersey Shore, the Simpsons and The Pacific. For old shows it would be
Alias
Star Trek Voyager
X-Files
Smallville
all sitcoms after Friends
Glee. Just didn't stick.
Fringe and Heroes are the ones that stick out to me. Chuck is VERY close to getting the ax. I almost gave up on The Pacific but the last episode made the series worth it.
