Worst long-running TV shows you watched from start to finish

[FPAlpha]

Probably made it to around season 8 or 9 of that?

I left shortly after Christina Yang was written out but by that point i was struggling to even watch anymore, it was way too much like a soap and the storylines and big events became progressively more ridiculous ( not that GA was even remotely realistic, as a patient i would avoid being treated there if i knew all the stories)

There are only two OGs left and one of them is way past retirement age. Two other long-running characters are getting the the boot. Meredith only shows up on occasion, so the show is called Grey and Grey is barely there.

I check in occasionally and am amazed they lasted this long, i don't know 80% of the characters anymore and i don't care anymore. Occasionally i will watch the first few seasons or clips, it was just fun back in the beginning.

Eventually they'll announce a cancellation and then a reboot.

I understand that for a TV show about a specific vocation, everything that has ever happened in the history of that profession will all take place at that one location, but the death count for the main characters in Grey's Anatomy should be cause for concern.

I still haven't recovered from what happened to Derek.

I said the same thing to my wife, who has been watching it since day one.

James Pickens Jr is 71. Good actor, but Webber should be retired.

Karev decided to leave abruptly and they had him ditch his new wife, for his old girlfriend. Nothing on that show has ever made sense.

Something happened, either because of the showrunners or because of the actor, to cause such an abrupt exit. I stopped watching long before that, but heard he was off the show for several weeks and then suddenly written out without ever returning.

The audience bailed in season 2 once Laura Palmer's murder was solved. No one cared about Dale Cooper's nemesis or Billy Zane.

I always say that if you watch TP up to and including the episode where they catch Laura's killer (I know it's more complicated than that but for the purposes of what I'm saying), and then turn it off, never to watch the other episodes, it's the greatest mini-series TV ever produced but if you keep going it's a hot mess.

Ha ha ha! Imagine giving up before "Beyond Life and Death"!

Though you should be more concerned if you live somewhere like Cabot Cove or Midsomer...

Hated that ep. I hated it almost as much as the fact that I waited thirty years for a follow up and then Lynch ended on yet another ambiguous, de facto cliffhanger.

technically it was only 26 years!
