One Tree Hill the last two seasons are completely unnecessary with very dumb storyline’s.
The Walking Dead even a show about a zombie apocalypse should provide some hope. I stopped when the Asian guy got his head caved in.
Dexter I lost interest when Jimmy Smits came onboard. Probably lost interest before than too.
Big Bang Theory once all the guys couple up it’s over, Sheldon with a girlfriend? Come on.
True Blood tried to rewatch it last year and couldn’t make it through season 1.
DiffRent Strokes once they add the annoying white kid.
Happy Days towards the final seasons all pretence of it being set in the 50/60’s is over the cast don’t even dress the part anymore.
The Walton’s once John Niy leaves than the elders leave the support cast are thrown into the spotlight and it’s over.
Misfits (UK) they lose most of the originals and the replacements are boring.
I totally agree with Misfits. I really liked the first 2 seasons and once they started switching up powers and such it kind of lost me, then when they lost the original characters, I just didn't care anymore.
shareI didn't like seasons 5 & 6 of One Tree Hill but after that I thought the later years kind of found its Grove to finish out the series.
shareLittle House on the Prairie. Season 4 is the last really solid season. Acceptable up to around season 6 if you skip the Albert and Almonzo episodes. Maybe 5 reasonability good episodes in season 8. By season 9 it's a train wreck.
shareI hate to say it about The Walking Dead because I really loved that show but once Rick Grimes disappeared in an explosion and all the cool characters were long dead I quit.
I’m several seasons behind and I don’t know that I’ll ever catch up.
True Blood started really strong for a few seasons and then became really silly.
Dexter was a great series for the first couple of seasons when he’d viciously murder a pervert or a killer in every episode but then he got married and had a baby…I just didn’t buy it. Dexter became a soap opera.
M.A.S.H. went to shit when they started letting Alan Alda write and direct. He was a preachy shithead. I don’t go for that.
True Blood - when they brought in the guy from law and order SVU. Seemed a bad fit and stupid story arc.
MASH was a good example of early Wokeism lol Hawkeye would have been shit for the things he did and some of it was hypocritical. There was one ep where they were hiding a South Korean teenager from the draft squad and Hawkeye makes some comment that he shouldn’t have to fight for his country?! Ummm so it’s ok for boys from everywhere else but to fight for S Korea but not a South Korean?
WOKEISM...LMAO...NOW I KNOW WY YOU IGNOR ME...YOU ARE A MORON.🫤🤣

I think this one is still running but anyway “The Good Doctor” about an autistic doctor. He manages to have relationships which are weird to watch and is incredibly rude to patients and talks about inappropriate topics to staff.
Like other shows like Bones which feature an awkward type character he never progresses or seems to learn anything. Every other character is more interesting.
Chicago Fire lack of interesting characters and the shenanigans of the support cast are tiresome.
I always think of "ER." I watched up to Dr. Greene's dad passing away (I think that was Season 7 or 8), then I bailed. I couldn't believe this show went on as long as it did...I thought the first 4-5 seasons were great, but then it got way too "soap opera-like" to me.
shareThat's my take on ER, too. I find it happens to other medical shows, too. They start out with some good medical drama, but devolve into the soap opera private lives of a number of the characters.
