Never watched so I decided not to watch this season: Will & Grace, What I like about you, Reba, Eve, Cuts, Hope & Faith, The West Wing, Crossing Jordan, smallville, Everwood, Girlfriends, half & half, sex love and secrets, Boston Legal, Law & Order

Grey's Anatomy: First time I watched this but was not impressed with it. It was too much to deal with an unstable emotional doctor that could not deal with her "mistake" pregnancy.

Arrested Development: Found the first episode borring and not funny at all and never looked back.

Just Legal: Liked it but it was canceled after three episodes.

Gilmore Girls: I coudn't deal with this one after one episode. Too fictional for me.

The Office: Jokes are too dry for me and the whole concept seems to be too over the top for me.

Lost: I only watch 30 minutes of it now. 15 of commercials are skipped and the other 15 minutes of the side stories are skipped as well.


Both Apprentices: Besides being SD (which I hardly watch) these are not my type. I like Survivor and the Amazing Race.

LOVE, INC: a show about a dating agency which is supposed to know everything about dating? I gave up after one show.

The Bernie Mac Show: I watched first two episodes and they were funny. I decided to pass because I could do something better with my time.

Malcom in the Middle: I watched it on the first season and second season. Now that the kids are grown it does not interest me anymore.

LIVING With FRAN: A divorce mother who is trying to cope with her life after divorce. What else is New? Dropped as well.

Inconceivable: I was looking forward to this one but after the first episode it was inconceivable for me to keep watching it.

Head Cases: Liked it but it was canceled.

Alias: Not a sydney and Vaughn Fan. This is what the show is all about. Can they have someone else doing the mission?

Close to Home: In most Crime shows like Law & Order, Killer Instinct, or any other there is always the mystery factor of the investigative work or the discovery or deposition phase of the case. In this instance, 'Close to Home' fails to deliver the mystery and jumps that phase and immediately you, the audience, will know the punch line of the story and how it will end. There's very little investigative work and very little imagination in the show and the main prosecutor fails to make a convincing story. There are certain characters in all crime shows that have a hack for the 'know' it all and basically give away the story. In other crime shows, one finds these characters in the background and not as lead characters. When the lead character is one of these, leaves the story without any mystery or suspense of what's going to happen. Of course, this is my opinion after watching 4 episodes. I gave up after that. In fact, the 15 min of the actual crime is more interested than how the main character(s) resolve or prosecute.

Related It was too much plastic girls talking on the cell phone for me. 4 sisters and dad trying to take care of his dad. One episode was enough to drop the show for me.

According to Jim: don't like it.

George Lopez: don't like it.

Night Stalker: Liked the show and was hoping to catch up with each episodes but after finding out that ABC canceled it what was the point of watching.

Twins: I was into it. But 5-6 episodes later the topic has become old and melany griffin does not help at all.

Everything Else...
 
I've already given up on Ghost Whisperer and E-Ring.

I'm hoping that Supernatural, Night Stalker & Reunion don't get cancelled before they get a chance to catch on.
 
Lost is the only show I'd really be upset about if I missed. But I wouldn't be real pleased to miss Las Vegas or Reunion.

The main show that I've stopped watching is my second favorite show on TV -- Veronica Mars. Unfortunately it airs the same time as my favorite.

And one of these days I will get home from work early enough on a Friday to see if Ghost Whisperer is as good as I suspect it is.

wow you're missing out on some great tv from your avoided list....

the only thing I can agree with is Apprentice
 
I don't like CSI simply just because their method of solving cases is just plain laughable. I mean come on their main crime fighting tool is a black light. Not too mention every episode seems to be the same.

Lost... Waaaaay to many flash backs for my taste.

Survivor ... do I really need to defend my choice on this... enough is enough
how about a survivor -the hood edition... now that's a survivor I might watch.

Hey, my wife won't let me watch HDNet's Bikini Destinations, but she does let me watch Stephanie in a bikini or less on Survivor. I'll put up with the tripe for that viewing pleasure. Besides, the wife and I get a friendly bet going each week as to who will booted that week.

I'm sorry but my idea of pleasure is most definately not looking at a girl in a bikini that hasn't shaved or showered for a month.

Glad I am not the only one with the flash backs on LOST. Between them and the commercial it takes half hour of the real story. So there is only half hour of the LOST story on each episode. This half hour is the only thing that has kept me watching. :)
 
Since last I wrote... I have dropped the following:


Close to Home: In most Crime shows like Law & Order, Killer Instinct, or any other there is always the mystery factor of the investigative work or the discovery or deposition phase of the case.
