You know how some of your favorite shows, which were awesome once upon a time, can become really crappy later? Well, sometimes you just shake your head and enjoy the show overall anyway and only complain about the crappy part, but sometimes, you resent the whole show for failing you. Do you guys have any experiences of this?

Fucking How I Met Your Mother. No, I will not let this go. It hurts my heart deep inside, man!

I was so angry at SGA for the final season. No lie it's only been recently that I can talk about the fandom with humor instead of resentment and bitterness.

None.

But that's probably mostly because I don't really watch shows while they're airing, so it's a whole different thing.

With shows I love I tend to get a little bit overly emotionally invested, and tbh there is slim chance any show can live up to my rather high expectations for long, but that means that I am inevitably heartbroken and resentful with a lot of my one time favorite shows.

DEXTER.

I still love it, but the resentment is there and I choose to believe that the last few seasons didn't really exist.

Yes. I wish I could be like one of those people who can enjoy the good first parts of things, like shows, books, and movies, without the later crappy sequels ruining them.

I pretty much gave up on CSI and Criminal Minds.

And my enjoyment of X-Files ground to a screeching halt in season 6.

There were two shows that either made me angry or I dropped altogether because of the writing; LOST and Fringe. Damn waste of potential.

I feel this way about most shows after season 6. The Office, Friends, Big Bang Theory, and One Tree Hill are the ones that come to mind.

Ugly Betty... although really, even after the first season it became exactly what it was making fun of.

House. I wish it fucking stopped at season 4

BBC's Robin Hood.
quit just after season 2, and I'm glad I dodged that bullet.

How I Met Your Mother, Dexter, Bones, Criminal Minds, Lost, and Big Bang Theory. Maybe X-Files too (I still haven't watched the last two seasons for this reason so I can't say for sure).

BONES. I could bold that and italicize it and underline it and make the text giant and sparkly and it would still not be emphatic enough to properly express my bitter rage.

Battlestar Galactica (the reboot). It fell off in a big way after Season 2. I also never got over them changing the intro music. Badass battle drums to some wishy-washy chanting thing. Blah.

BONES BONES BONES BONES. Jeez.

NCIS. I can't believe how long I kept up with it while hating almost everyone. David McCallum is only performer there I kind of miss. Glad I stopped watching.

Being Human, the UK version. Like with Heroes, I'm just going to block out everything past that perfectly camp first season.

Not a show, but I resent the fuck out of the Anita Blake series for how good it started and how bad it got.

I'm quite surprised that no one has mentioned Glee yet. I mostly follow it for the musical numbers and it's such a waste that they're brought down by the rubbish contexts. Such a waste of talent too since there's increasing emphasis on covering popular pop hits instead of oldies.

Grey's Anatomy. I really liked the first two or three seasons (dammit idc how ridiculous all the drama was or that Izzie got off hilariously light for cutting denny's lvad wire) but then it went downhill faster than any show before (except maybe Heroes which went from genuinely awesome to shitty at an almost impressive rate)
