And when should you stop watching?

Dexter. Just watch like the first two seasons.

Yep. Definitely.

Thanks for the tip; just began watching season 1 on Netflix. On episode 5 now.

But...season 4!

Make it to season 4 at least. Season 5 was ok. It starts getting very meh from then on.

Castle.

Stop with the season 5 finale. If you absolutely must go forward, stop no later than 7x06. Whatever you do, do not go into season 8. (There were some OK episodes post season 5 and post 7x06, but 7x06 offers quite a bit of closure and season 5 ends with a question you can imagine the answer to.

Aw. I thought 7 was pretty bad, and 6 not that great, but I quite enjoyed 8. I thought it had found its groove again.

I think I stopped with the season 4 finale, mayyybe a couple eps of s5, and I agree with this from everything I've seen.

Stop watching it before the season 1, episode 1 intro.

Supernatural. Stop after season 3 or season 5, depending on whether you are interested in angels or not.

Teen Wolf. After season 2 it starts taking itself too seriously and instead of being bad but funny it's just bad.

Seconding Dexter upthread.

Babylon 5 before the last season. It didn't really offer anything worthwhile.

Gargoyles. Just ignore the Goliath Chronicles.

But if you stop watching Supernatural before Season 8 you'll miss out on the awesomeness that is Benny. (And also soulless!Sam which is hilarious and basically a season of Dick jokes which prove that my inner child is a twelve year old boy. But mostly Benny.)

Grey's Anatomy- only watch to seasons 6 or 7. Maybe 8.

Supernatural- stop after 5.

Bones- stop after 5 or 6.

House: stop after season 3.

Prison Break: stop after season 1.

Heroes: also season 1.

Lost: also season 1. (If you're thinking they'll have a cool explanation for all that shit, you're wrong. They don't. Whatever you personally imagine will be better and more interesting.)

I'd say stop after season 4 of House. I enjoyed the competition for the new team. I just thought House chose the wrong three. I would have gone with Amber, Cole, and Henry.

I say stop watching The West Wing after the end of season 4 and find out everything else on wikipedia.

Scrubs. Never watch the season that shall not be named.

House too, probably. Starts to get really shark-jumpy around season 4.

I've also heard Battlestar Gallactica, but I've never watched it so I can't really be certain.

Watch Haven about halfway through the final season, then stop and make up your own ending.

Remington Steele - the last season. It's a great show if you forget the last season exists.

Gilmore Girls. I would recommend stopping after season 4. However, season 5 isn't too bad. Do not under any circumstances watch season 6. TPTB completely ruined the characterization of the main characters. If you do find yourself watching season 6 (dear God, why?), then you might as well watch season 7. The new show runners finally fixed the mess by the end of that season. I was sad they didn't get an 8th season, as I was looking forward to see what they could do after digging themselves out of that hole. Season 6 of Gilmore Girls is why I will never watch anything by Amy Sherman-Palladino ever again. Even the continuation of GG coming up on Netflix.

Master of None--don't watch the last two episodes. Up till then, it was a fun little show with some good laughs. The last two episodes get needlessly gloomy about life in general and really invalidate the premise of the show. You feel guilty for having enjoyed any of it, and mad at the characters for being self involved immature douchebags.

Oops misfire

Big Bang Theory season 3 finale.

No Amy, no more Leonard/Penny, awesome.

Once Upon a Time. They're two or maybe three exit points--the season one finale, maybe the season 2 finale, but definitely the mid-season 3 finale (stupid half season format, grr) is the last bail point.

Evangelion, the original anime series. Stop after Shinji kills Kwarou. It is a bittersweet ending, but it is an actual ending and it is one that makes much more sense than the actual ending.
