**Shows you liked for a while (multiple seasons) but eventually got tired of and gave up on** 1. Supernatural 2. Family Guy 3. The Simpsons 4. The Expanse I loved the first three seasons. Season four began a new story arc, in a new location, and it quickly lost my interest. ---

**Shows you liked for a while (multiple seasons) but eventually got tired of and gave up on** 1. Supernatural 2. Family Guy 3. The Simpsons 4. The Expanse 5. The 100 I really liked the first few seasons, but after a while seeing the heroes struggle and barely manage get their head above water only to be fucked over again even worse got depressing. (same reason I gave up reading game of thrones around book 3). Also the science got a little beyond my ability to suspend disbelief (how does hundred year old nuclear fallout suddenly start causing acid rain that instantly burns people caught in it but doesn’t seem affect the surrounding vegetation?) ---

**Shows you liked for a while (multiple seasons) but eventually got tired of and gave up on** 1. Supernatural 2. Family Guy 3. The Simpsons 4. The Expanse 5. The 100 6. Doctor Who Been a fan of the old series since it was still on the air. The revival has included some truly classic Who, but a combination of Moffat fatigue and the writing fall-off with Jodie Whittaker (who I like) wore me down. I watched the latest David Tennant specials but that’s been it for me. ---

**Shows you liked for a while (multiple seasons) but eventually got tired of and gave up on** 1. Supernatural 2. Family Guy 3. The Simpsons 4. The Expanse 5. The 100 6. Doctor Who 7. NCIS I watched it for 19 seasons. I’d been a little tired of it for a while, and I tried to watch S20 (the first one without Gibbs) but finally I just tired of it enough. Normally if I’m that invested I’ll watch the whole thing (like I did with _Supernatural_), but I just…couldn’t anymore. Partly because of Gibbs, and partly because I always found Abby to be super annoying and the replacement character (Kasie) was equally as annoying. ---
