Royal Pains - I missed a few eps of the 2nd season and couldnt really get back into it
Game of Thrones - I watched the first season, didn't bother picking it back up when the 2nd started
Boardwalk Empire - Same as GoT

Grimm, gave up after 2.

Falling Skies, gave up after 2.

New Girl, Gave up after 4 or 5.

Sinbad, I lost interest after about 5, but my missues still liked it so we kept going until the end.

Seen one episode of Elementary so far, not sure about this but will try another 2 or 3.

Funnily enough, I also gave up on Grimm after 2 episodes.

I gave up on Unforgettable half-way through the season. Run-of-the-mill procedural, with a gimmick that quickly became tiresome.

I only gave it a few episodes. I agree with your assesment of the show.

Grimm did start off a bit so-so, but I stuck with it and I'm glad I did as it turned into a good show.

Perception. On Watch, saw pilot & 1st episode. Cant cope with is" it" real or not. Yes I understand its the basis,but it just gets on my nerves.

Funnily enough I gave up on Fringe halfway through the first season, but aftter seeing advertisements for later ones I really wanted to get back into it but didn't feel like 'catching up'

I wish it would get further seasons, but kind of glad this is the final one so I can have a Fringe marathon :D

The same happened with Smallville but that went on for 10 seasons :(

Haven't watched episode 2 of Last Resort yet so withholding judgement. Not seen Revolution yet so ditto. White Collar was dropped, looked good at the outset and didn't do it for us.

Last Resort : Not made my mind up on this yet.

Revolution : Im enjoying this atm, so will be carrying on.

Fringe: I gave up on that in Season 1, but then got back into it in Season 2 when they started witht the parallel universe.

Supernatural : I got tired of this after during Season 2, but started watching it again in Season 4 and havent stopped since. To this day I still havent seen Season 3.

Good to know I made the correct choice. My sister is mad keen on White Collar so giving season 2 a spin.
At the moment my Early Saturday choice ( the only really free time I have - large mug of fresh coffee & Fruit loops ) is nearly bare. :D

Was going to give Last Resort a spin, told it is rubbish & likely to be dropped by ABC anytime soon ( Just family talk nothing else) So now wonder if I will even bother. Still not over Heroes going mid season !

I've watched the first three, but not yet summoned the willpower to watch the fouth.
I cant see me lasting with it - tbh its something that probably should have been a couple of two hour mini-episodes.
Dragging out over 13 hours is already proving painful.

Gave up on hunted (last week) just seemed to be looking at clock.

Fringe
Bones
House
Boardwalk Empire
Arrow
Desperate Housewives
666 Park Avenue

cimt 17-02-2013 21:55

Re: TV shows that you have dropped?
 
Any particular reason you gave up on each of them? The only one I didn't try was 666 Park Avenue. I gave up on Desperate Housewives in S6 I think. The others I enjoyed/am enjoying.

I gave up on Hunted midway through the 2nd ep. I realised that I didn't actually believe in or care about any of the characters and I was actively looking forward to the end of each episode (which is not good)

l am still enjoying Arrow and would liked to have watched Boardwalk Empire but alas that's not viable at the moment due to it being withheld from Virgins platform.

I'm glad you think those shows are excellent, good for you. I don't. Each to their own. Also, for your information, I gave up on Fringe at the beginning of season 5.

Paul 07-03-2013 19:18

Re: TV shows that you have dropped?
 
Was the a point to that other than having a strop.

Maybe you should take heed of "each to their own" yourself.
