I liked E. R. until Dr. Green died. The show died with him, but it refused to fall down for several seasons more. I liked Lost until the 4th (or 5th) episode aired. After that, it was too frickin’ weird. ---

I liked _Angel_ until Cordelia became evil or taken over by Jasmine or whatever the hell happened. ---

> [@eenerms](#): > > . . . > > I liked The Big Bang Theory until Raj slept with Penny. > . . . I have to agree - it’s going to take some fast and furious writing to make me forgive this. If it turns out to be a dream - lame If they didn’t really but Leonard spends the next season obsessing over it - lame If they did, and just forget it - lame (why did they bother?) If they end up together - but no, seriously about the only thing that will save this for me is if the next season opens with Leonard pummeling Raj and screaming “That’s _my_ woman!!!” ---

> [@Biggirl](#): > > I liked Grey’s Anatomy until Izzy stole an organ for her boyfriend and had to sit in the corner for punishment. Still watched until The beginning of season 3 when that whiney bitch Merideth did not drown as promised. That’s when I realized I hated everyone on the show and stopped watching. Ditto, except I continued to watch a little longer, being a slow learner. ---

I’m a slow learner and/or a slow hater so most of the shows I have quit watching I did so because the shows were cancelled. I can relate to quite a few of the posts about shows I still watch but I have yet to bail out on them, I guess because there’s nothing else on at that hour or I just haven’t built up the requisite disappointment factor. With that said, I will point to [Harry’s Law](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1582453/) and say that the emphasis on [Christopher McDonald](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001520/) drove me away for good. I tend to give new shows a couple of episodes before deciding not to waste time on them, and in most of those cases I have been lucky that my tastes were in line with the rest of the viewers and the shows got killed quickly. I really hate it when I like a show and others seem to as well, and the networks kill it anyway. That happens too much for my tastes. ---

I liked \*Survivor \*until they brought back Rob for the 1,000th time. I will like it at gain as long as they don’t keep bringing back reruns. And if they ever even think of bringing back Russell… ---

And if they ever even think of bringing back Russell… I agree that Redemption Island(which, yes, returns next year) is terrible. I still watch the show and like it, but it is the worst idea they’ve had. Next year, two more contestants return, though I have not yet heard who. ---

Yeah, Redemption Island is pretty annoying. The basic formula works so well, I don’t know why they have to fuck with it so much. They’ve had some good additions (HIIs), but I can’t recall anything good ever coming from bringing people back after they’ve been voted out. ---

I liked the Real World until the season after the one with Puck, when they stopped casting ugly people. ---

> [@TruCelt](#): > > I liked South Park until Mr. Slave and Lemmewinks. Funny, this is about the point at which I believe the show ascended to a higher plane of funniness that few other shows can touch. I liked _Heroes_ until Hiro spent half of Season 2 in Japan. I liked watching ABC’s TGIF lineup until I discovered girls. ---

I liked **Battlestar Galactica** until the Fleet found Earth (the original one). While I wasn’t exactly a fan of some of RDM’s creative decisions before that the latter half of season 4 was a complete trainwreck. Season 4.5 is to the reimagined series what **Galactica: 1980** was to the original series. ---
