I feel that way about Criminal Minds. The last few seasons weren't as good, and I didn't much like the very last season at all. And yet, I miss the show. I'm happy it is (probably) coming back.

With Supernatural I couldn't make it past season 7, and on rewatches I only do seasons 1-5.

But I totally get being so attached to a show that you feel its loss even if it had stopped being particularly good.

Even get that feeling when I stop watching a show because of how bad it got, but it was an important thing for me for years. I still miss Grey's Anatomy even though I haven't watched in about 4 seasons.

I feel that way about The X-Files.

Seconding the X-Files nostalgia/longing. I never did watch the new seasons because I knew it's time had passed and it just wasn't the show I loved anymore. But I still love the show and the characters. I miss them and their staid suits and flattened affects and flashlights, and their cerebral, paranoid monster-mashing and conspiracy-sleuthing.

I miss the residual cobwebs of the cold war all over everything, and the feeling that deeply distrusting the government was radical. Probably wholly justified, but radical. I miss stories in which labyrinthine-yet-cohesive conspiracies were a plausible threat to use as an overarching narrative--as opposed to clunky and childish storytelling in the face of reality and its fathomless fount of ecological disaster, late stage capitalism, and right-wing populism.

Same about Criminal Minds and I actively watched to S5, really dropped off by 7, and by the time Abadon shower up and the Chuck reveal i was barely tuning in. I did come back to watch the last episode of course.. that's one thing I loved about this show. There was enough stuff going that you could drop in and out and still follow what was happening (for the most part)

We quit watching Criminal Minds when Moore left and found, we didn't miss it as much as we though we would.

This will, however, be our last season of both NCIS and NCIS:LA- the former because only one remaining character that we thoroughly enjoy is not enough to save the show for us, and the latter because it's gotten boring, it feels like they're dragging storylines out way too long.

I'm sure we'll miss them for awhile after, because we'd watched both since nearly the beginning.

I never once watched this show and I don't even care that it's gone. The only thing I cared about was Misha Collins possibly being bi in reality.

He crushed on Bill Clinton apparently.

I'm about to just... start in on s1 myself. I personally found the early seasons weak, it took them a while to find their footing and for all that the writing could be bad in later seasons, you got to see the characters grow a lot over time, but... yeah, I'm not ready to let go, either. This dumb show has meant a lot to me and been with me during kind of big life things, and even helped me reconnect with a good friend.

I kinda miss it too. It was fun having something to look forward to, even if it was a dumb mess.

This show is special to me as well (like a few players anove, and doubtless a huge number of other folks), and while I personally am ok with it being over (because it's super trippy to see those gif sets where you see the actors age and realize S1 came out when you were in middle school and you're practically 30 now wtf) because the boys can finally rest, I came for the creepy/monster element, stayed for the hijinks of two brothers whose love &hotness transcended the boundaries of Heaven and Hell lol.

I still have the last 2.5 seasons of Supernatural on my DVR.

I'm in no hurry to finish it. So we watch it when nothing else interests us.
