_How I Met Your Mother_ is the only show on that list I watch. Unfortunately, this last season has become rather tedious to watch. It seems like they only had about half a season of material left, and the other half is pure filler. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > I disagree. You have 280 responses and only 72 posts, many of whom are repeats. From other threads etc, I’d say that far and away the vast majority of those who answered “none” are not regular TV watchers. I guess that interpretation could fit. Since this poll is anonymous and we can’t ask specific voters what they meant, I suppose any interpretation that zooms in on the 40-47% who said “none” could be entertained as likely. Maybe those who did vote “none” might hop in to explain just why they voted that way. Maybe another poll or thread could address the issue directly. I see the “non-none” votes as indicative of some degree of displeasure that some of these shows will be going away. At least the “couldn’t possibly give a shit” group said so – for whatever reason. ---

I won’t miss Leno, mainly because as far as I’m concerned he’s been gone since the first time he left. Don’t intend to watch Fallon, he’s not even the best Jimmy to currently have a late night talk show, let alone deserving of hosting the “big one”. ---

I don’t think I’ve felt this way about a show since Northern Exposure. It feels like something is missing. Breaking Bad, ten times over. ---

Other than Leno I don’t think I’ve seen one on the list. And last time I saw Leno was when Letterman had the giant doorknob running gag. ---

I’ll miss True Blood the most, even though the last season was a disaster. I watch plenty of TV, but some shows just seem so…generic. I look at descriptions of those supposed comedies and think, who ARE those people? And I quit with the late night shows right after the David Letterman/Sarah Palin daughter brou-ha-ha. Just stopped watching all of them.
