Default Shows you've lost interest in this season?

Are there any shows you've stopped watching or plan to stop watching?

I'm pretty sure I'm done with Grey's Anatomy.

I'm done with Prison Break and stopped watching after the first 3 or 4 episodes.

I'm also losing interest in House.

I'm on the fence about Heroes, only because I'm having trouble following the plot. But I'll probably keep watching because it's interesting.

I'm also on the fence about Life on Mars, but I want to give it a few more episodes.

I lost track of Grey's and Desperate Housewives last year or the year before, I don't remember. I think it conflicted with something else I'm much more fond of and I couldn't be bothered to keep up with it on the web.

I have a complex relationship with Heroes. While the plot is exceptionally confusing, it's still interesting and I think the acting is... well, good enough. Mostly I'm just madly in love with Milo Ventiwhateverhisnameis, and he frequently goes shirtless. So, I'll stick around for that.

We watched the Sarah Conner Chronicles last year, but I never got too deeply invested and I canceled my TiVo season pass this year. I didn't miss it while it was on break.

I've been picking up Life on Mars and My Own Worst Enemy, but I haven't watched any of LoM yet and I watched about half an ep of MOWE before I wandered off to do something else and haven't felt the need to go back to it.

I think I'm going to keep my live TV watching down to the things I love and keep going back to DVDs of my favorites. I'm kind of obsessive about picking up the shows I love on DVD.

I stoppd watching Grey's and House a few seasons back. Other than that, I haven't given up on anything. I was going to watch the American version of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, but I never did.

I'm on the verge with Gray's and Private Practice. The plots are a little weak this season. I quit watching Dancing with the Stars. I really don't care for anyone on it this season. I think I'm just really bored with tv. I'd rather read.

D'oh! I forgot about Kitchen Nightmares.

You're not missing anything. Although the first season, Pete's Pasta (Babylon Village) was featured. That was kind of interesting to watch because it's a local place. Did you ever eat there?

I watched this season sporadically but I won't be tuning in next season.

I quit Grey's Anatomy early last year. I like the recaps on televisionwithoutpity way better than the show itself.

Quit House.

Haven't quit Heros lately (or as I've started calling it, Heteros...I don't know why that popped into my head, but it IS an awfully hetero show imo) but I'm b1tching aplenty about it. Hate the plotlines, hate the conspiracy tangles, it's getting way too much like the X-Files during that show's decline, hate that the characters' facial expressions never change much and they show NO character development (on season 1 when Hiro comes back from the future to clue Peter in, he seems really together...is that ever going to happen?). I liked the evolution angle, I'm not into the genetic manipulation angle. And WHY is Maya still alive? Cocooning is too good for her. (oh yeah, that whole Suresh development is just stupid). BAH.

Numbers was always kind of boring but it's even more of snoozer this season than ever.

I also quit Grey's last year. I stopped watching House this year. It's just not as interesting as it was in previous seasons.

I'm on the fence about Lost. It doesn't start until January, but last season I started losing interest, but I'll probably get sucked in again.

Quit Heroes a couple weeks ago. The plot is super convoluted, and the only comic relief is Hiro acting like a buffoon. I also do not get the attraction to Milo Ventimiglia. He's only OK to me.

In my defense, I fell in love with him when he was Jess, James Dean wannabe teen rebel on Gilmore Girls. I'm starting to get a little old to drool over that version of him though.

House
Bones
Heroes( I'll watch it on Nexflix) It makes much more sense to me when I watch them all together.
Pushing Daisies (I tune to it but don't really pay attention.

all the CSIs
Bones
Criminal Minds
Numbers

i tried to watch Dirty Sexy Money last year, but gave up after a few shows, because watching spoiled rich people act up couldn't be saved by any of the actors i liked who are on that show.

CSI and CSI:Miami

I stopped watching Grey's lat season but now watching it again. I think it's actually getting better for me.

Private Practice - I never really got that into it

Lost - I may watch bits and pieces when it comes back, but I'm not that excited.

America's Next Top Model

Heroes possibly - this show really annoys me, but I get sucked in for some reason.

I hope BW doesn't see that you wrote this.

M, I still love the campiness of Ugly Betty. Lindsay Lohan has been on a few times, as Betty's frenemy. But that's coming to an end very soon. I just read there's real friction between America and Lindsay.

Heroes-DH still watches but for meb it just got too hard to understand what was going on if you missed an episode (who was good or bad, new characters...)

And Desperate Housewives.Silly plot twists (all those dead people!), dead ends, and the five year jump wasn't very interesting to me. TrueBlood on HBO has replaced it as my Sunday night must-see TV.

Pretty much everything I used to watch, which wasn't even regular then, I've lost interest in: CSI, Ugly Betty, Bones, House, Dirty Jobs, Flip This or That (or whatever) House, Sell This House...
