This is why I usually wait for a show to be over before even watching it. I've been burned too many times by something that turned out in the end to be just a complete piece of shit. But then by the time it's over I don't care any more. So I just basically don't watch TV at all. Except Better Call Saul.
I honestly think I enjoyed Mad Men more than a lot of people because I only caught up to it right before its final season. I would watch several episodes a week and enjoyed it entirely. I'm happy I was able to watch it with a close family member and we discussed the show, as opposed to the internet at random which tends to obsess over minor details and memes.
Korra's third (and to a lesser extent fourth) season(s) are pretty good. If I ever recommend the show to people I just say start with S3 and you can get a somewhat decent show out of it.
It made things kinda pointless. S3 has him getting tid down with family then undoes it so he could repeat the same shit. 4 wasn't terrible, but I just felt it rendered previous seasons kinda pointless when he's pretty much back where he was before. Was that also the one where they really started pushing Deb with the very old FBI agent?
I hated the setting from the start, the fact I hated the characters and didn't care baout the story just solidified it. Avatar is better when you know Korra doesn't exist.
You're right on that. After Dexter loses Rita the show falls apart. I think the following season was with Julia Styles which didn't develop the character much further, or was that the season with the woman from Mass Effect/Chuck? I don't know. The writers then desperately looked for more disturbing drama to keep people interested but it went to the point of parody.
I liked the dual format when it was with Chris Noth. In fact, Noth's episodes were less confusing than Vince's sometimes. Goldblum on the other hand, they tried to make him take over the whole show from both Vince and Noth, and it sucked.
Legend of Korra, although I think the annoying shippers were the main catalyst for me to jump ship and say "fuck it"What are some series you used to love, or even just enjoy, that jumped the shark so hard you stopped watching entirely? Or still watch, but out of protest?
The biggest one for me is South Park.
I was late to the SP train, only starting around 2004, and when I found it I binged just about everything before the 2005 season started and loved almost every second of what I found. The dud episodes were few and far between.
And like clockwork, 2005 was really when the downfall started for me. There were still some clever episodes, but waaaay less than ever before. I was utterly sick of the show by 2008 and flat out quit after being subjected in 2010 to the worst thing ever put on TV: its 200th episode "200".
But I think the nail in the coffin for what actually happened to South Park is right here:
12 years after mocking Al Gore’s fight against climate change, South Park reconsiders
The long-running animated series appears to be grappling with both global warming and its legacy — if only a little.www.vox.com
Fucking. Pussies.
Regardless if Global Warming is real, the last person who ever needs an apology is Al fucking Gore; the most hypocritical, corrupt, and overrated person in human history. I went from saying South Park just sucks now to Matt and Trey lost their dicks and the show is only still on the air these days because of its impact (None of which came from anything post-2010).
I'm probably not the only one who wishes it would end already.
Share yours!
That's probably when the show should have ended. God it turned into an absolute crapsack afterwards.
My parents have said the same thing, though when I asked why they still watch it, mom said, "I just want to see how it ends."
Shame, "you punch like someone who isn't an American!" Is one of my favorite lines ever.
A bit long winded, but I liked the pay-off. I haven't watched YGOA in years either, I'm more concerned with Martin's health issues than I am watching the show.
yeah, I was sad to learn about his struggle with depression. I hope he's feeling better.
It has never been funny.
He absolutely lost interest over a decade ago, but rather than hiring someone to help out he insisted on continuing to do everything himself. Hell, even when he brought on an editor it was still weak.
I never really watched either Yu-Gi-Oh! or the Abridged series, but I stumbled across this clip that I think illustrates your point.
