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.
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!!!”
Yup, that’s when I punted on that show, too.
I think I enjoyed most of the season after the hatch was opened. I’d change it to “I liked Lost until the Oceanic Six got off the island.”
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 and say that the emphasis on Christopher McDonald 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 Winky Dink and You, until I got radiation poisoning and my nose fell off. 
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…
Of course, I also liked to have my shoe size checked with the shoe-fitting fluoroscope, until my toes fell off.
I was going to say Survivor intil the brought in Redemtion Island!
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.
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.
Yes, it seems clear from the one minute and fifty seconds of The Big Bang Theory that follows that point that the show’s a total write-off.
I liked The Wonder Years and Beverly Hills 90210 until each was put into the same time slot as Unsolved Mysteries.
I liked Heroes until the start of the second season.
YES!
I still love this show even with the horrible Farina bookends and narration.
