What TV shows have you gradually stopped watching over time?

[bbernardini]

First one I can really think of is "South Park". After I discovered "Law & Order", "South Park" kind of faded away for me (since they were on at the same time). Now, I've found that the various shows in the "L&O" franchise have done the same thing. I've simply stopped watching them. I think it was Jerry Orbach's death that closed that chapter for me. I know his character was "leaving" anyway, but it just wasn't the same without him.

1. South Park definitely for me

It was Mr. Hanky that did me in and it all seemed the same after a while.

2. the beauty of Law and Order

is that there is always an episode on, on one cable channel or another. it's brain candy. I never watch new ones, hell ,I never watch prime time TV anymore.

3. "Will and Grace"

I was barely watching it last year. I can't watch it anymore.

I'm glad this is the last year.

10. Me Too.

I figure I can catch up on the syndicated reruns. I haven't really watched much prime time tv in a while. We watch more movies and Discovery Channel.

4. The Simpsons

It's not very good after about the 5th season.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

5. Just about all of it.

TV rots your brain.

8. Here, here!

My thoughts exactly.

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Space: 1999, MASH, All in the Family, SWAT, The Gleason Show,

The Honeymooners, Milton Berl, What's My Line...

[Left Is Write]

14. I *still* watch What's My Line!

I love John Daly. :D

7. ER

I used to be a fanatic viewer every week but gradually my favorite characters left and I just stopped watching. The show should have bowed out gracefully like 2 or 3 years ago

9. Everything

Maybe that'll change, one day.

For now, my TV is used only for movies and...well, actually, since my DVD system died (right after the warranty expired) and I still haven't bothered to hook up my older DVD player, I don't use the TV at all except for propping up greetings cards -- I watch DVDs on my laptop.

11. Hardball

Seriously, I used to watch it all the time but after Tweety became a cheerleader for the war that he initially opposed, I just lost interest. Though I have heard that it is kind of fun to watch it now since his reality is crumbling around him and he tries so hard to hang onto it.

South Park and not because I don't want to, I just forget. I catch up with DVDs of the show when I can.

I really enjoyed the first season of Desperate Housewives but didn't get into the second season at all.

I never got into the original L&O much though I do still watch Criminal Intent. Started watching Conviction, mainly because my son is an ADA and I wondered how accurate it is.

12. Get Smart

Haven't watched that in years.

[smitty]

13. The Simpsons----not funny anymore. I thing every TV show

eventually runs out of ideas and they cease to be humorous, insightful or entertaining.

15. West Wing

it's on the way out anyway but I stopped when Zoe got kidnapped. I became disaffected with all of the imperial pretensions even of the "good liberals" of the Bartlet White House. I also remember a speech by Toby about our military interventions in the Middle East and the problems they were causing us with our normal allies. His angry response? "They'll like us when we win." Leo Strauss in a nutshell, folks.

[YankeyMCC]

16. X-Files

Is the first one that comes to mind. I just got tired of the apparently direction-less conspiracy theories.

Law&Order, I usually still watch the old ones now and then but I've seen them so many times I guess I need a break. I started loosing interest when the latest DA made his appearance. (I didn't know he was a former repub politico until last year's campaign)

Simpson's kinda faded but I've started watching again fairly regularly.

17. That 70s Show

I guess after the third or fourth year of 1977, it started getting a little old.

I mean, I lived that year, man!

:hippie:

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. I freakin' love that show

But it jumped a big-assed shark when Eric left.

[Faygo Kid]

19. CSI. Gotten too twisted.

It's just weird now.

[SethInUpstateNY]

20. The Simpsons and Seinfeld.

The Simpsons, I just lost interest in it a couple of years ago. They should've quit about 7 or 8 years ago.

Seinfeld, I gradually lost interest in it, as well. The series finale was one of the lamest I've ever seen.

21. L&O (original), American Idol, Extreme MO: Home Edition...

There are really only two shows that I still watch with anything even resembling regularity: Desperate Housewives (repeat tonight, bummer, but it's still a good episode) and Grey's Anatomy (I am so hooked on this show, it is almost embarassing--my best friend comes over every Sunday night and we watch it together, as if that it actually a social activity, lol).

Other than that, I still like Joey, which I thought was going to be God-awful (I usually hate spinoffs) and I love L&O SVU.

I find most of the new crime shows too creepy (if I wanted to be scared, I would watch Forensic Files lol), but I do like CSI: Miami (not the other two).
