Mad Men - Fell asleep during the first episode
The Bridge - The female lead was terrible in the pilot
Banshee - Finished first season, started 2nd season (did not like the first episode with the old ass cop interrogating everyone and he had so much screentime for no reason) and stopped
American Horror Story: Coven - Got really ridiculous and I did not want to see Precious get it on with a horse :scust:
Blacklist - Liked the concept. But like @Beer Drinker said, without Spader the show would not last. Not a huge fan of procedurals either.
House of Lies - Good, but I felt like I wasn't missing anything if I dropped it :ehh:

This thread about to do numbers :banderas:

I recorded like 3 shows last night just because they were new. I give most stuff a chance.

A show about an immortal doctor? :wtf:. There's almost no way that doesn't go in the bushes.

edit: hit the DVR, ABC bout to make a liar out of me. Forever had a good premiere. :ohhh:

Tyrant - 1 episode and i was done with that :trash:

Strain - i think i made it about 4 episodes

Dexter - tossed it after season 4

weeds - middle of season 6 when they were driving around aimlessly in that RV

true blood - gave up on this during the season were bill turned into that super vamp.

boardwalk - i stopped about halfway through last season, i'll probably catch up and finish it because its well done but i can never make it through a full season without having to take a break

masters of sex - i think i made it like 3 episodes..it just didnt do anything for me.

Boardwalk Empire - thought I was gonna love this when it first came out... I was completely wrong. dropped it after a few seasons.


The Wire - I just could not get into it after the first season. It wasn't "gripping" enough for me. It's in my list for second chances though.

watched one episode of True Detective, and haven't checked back for it since.

Homeland - Finished season 2 but had no desire to start season 3
Orange Is The New Black - watched only the first 4 episodes... found it slow and depressing

Weeds - stopped for a long time but made myself finish it
The Shield - After a couple of seasons I stopped
Prison Break - 1st episode of season 3 was enough for me

Honestly, I really try not to watch TV shows, cause too much time is invested and you never know if it'll go garbage or not.

At the moment I watch (only the first is on air atm)

Boardwalk Empire
True Detective
Hannibal
Power
Pretty Little Liars
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Modern Family

Took me almost a year and a half to finish Homeland Season 1. Was planning on watching season 2(watched 2 eps) but got spoiled with the Season 3 finale lurking on a totally separate thread :snoop:

Entourage

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Mad Men (haven't seen season 6 and 7 but may pick it up again)
Wish I gave up on Dexter but couldn't help myself :snoop:

True Blood - I don't recall what season but it was a couple of years ago
The leftovers - good show but I just never went back after missing an episode 5
Utopia UK - just cant get through Ep1 of season 2 for some reason.

Strange, that's easily the best Utopia episode imo.

House of Lies: I was like ":blessed:Don Cheadle solving problems with Veronica Mars" but they ruin the show by making it less on their jobs and way too much on their fukked up love lives... plus those two white dudes Cheadle works with are fukking annoying.... and lets not forget about the faq son :scust:

livX_Lo5XTYwP43D8vQuzXpnTqQRMj-8vho0uZMSPP4Yr-3CDPx6lOZAjP8wjT9TFTp3-PtIVTOZOohH7PanxjXW7GnQXiY85ZpxqapQDrkSSCTZ49GnJukltdpMzMk3z-dcbSafClg3edNJ0vZxOrmFV1GgrwfbQOLAARdiGM9T1NPUN-vgTQ=w636-h355-nc

Mixed with :what:. I swear coli let a breh down
@3Rivers can I get this face put on that lady's body with a white hat and a cigarette ? That shyt will be used for every episode.

Heroes after Season 1, I don't think I've ever seen a show fall of so bad
The X-Files after season 4, when it became more of a love story than a sci-fi procedural
Law and Order SVU after, Stabler left
Law and Order after Lenny Briscoe (George Orbach) left/died
Beavis and Butthead after season 3
South Park after 2007, it peaked at Imaginationland
The Blacklist (James Spader is carrying a bad show on it's back)
Smallville after season 7 (It did redeem it self towards the end)
Marvel Agents of Shield after episode 6, it was just a boring show
Homeland after season 3 (won't spoil it)
Weeds after season 3 - Jenjo Kohan is overrated
Orange is the New Black- my wifes likes this show but I find it insipid, though it is generally well acted
Boondocks-After Season 3 the rhetoric got too heavy handed.

Shows in Danger

Masters of Sex, what started off as a very interesting is starting to drag, and this current storyline seems a bit contrived
Ray Donovan-Rays fukkery is getting silly, but I'll give until season's end to pull me back in
SOA-Is it me or are all the Blacks on this show have a 1st grade intellegence level, The sons should have been wiped out years ago, I'll see this clusterfukk till the end, though
The Walking Dead -Anyone who gave up on the show should give the previous season a watch, the season finale made me interested again.
Arrow - It's actually a very good show, it's just starting to over extend itself

You cats are crazy for hating on Hannibal, it's arguably the best show on network TV.

Tyrant- After two episodes I wasn't feelin' it at all
Extant- I knew nobody was watching it so you knew it was going to get canned. Plus the story started to fall off
Agents Of Shield- hell no.. that shyt was like watching a Saturday Morning Cartoon
Hannible- 'the coli posters' favorite underrated show.. Watched three episodes and I was like, nah I'm good:ehh:
Halt And Catch Fire- Watched the first three episodes and passed. Didn't feel it would make it through one season
Dexter- wasn't feelin' it
