When Good Shows Turn To Poo!

LOST.

This fifth season, with them having to return to the island, the WAY they returned, I'm giving up. It's really asking too much patience from me. I love being kept in suspense about a mystery but 5 seasons without real answers feels like I'm being taken for a ride - and not in the good sense. By now, no answer will satisfy me.

Too bad for you. If you had kept in the know, you would have known that the "ride" officially ends next season. In recent weeks, the show has been starting to throw more answers at you than you can handle. And that's just the beginning (of the end) with season 6.

And as usual, it will be ending two seasons too late. Some ideas are great enough for a certain length of time. You can even get away with milking the plot a bit.

This isn't exactly exclusively Lost's problem. Most of the shows talked about here usually end long after the inspiration has left it's creators. Greed. "We can get three more seasons out of those rating!"

Just my opinion - no need to debate if Lost is a great show or not.

The last season of Golden Girls. It felt like they were just going through the motions.

"It's the last season, let's just get through it!"

I have all 7 seasons on DVD and I would say 7th is the weakest.

grey's anatomy and the whole ghost of danny duquette and izzie storyline.

Ugly Betty after the whole Gio + Henry love affair.
Leave the season with a cliff hanger.
start the new season with Betty breaking up with them both in literally 2 minutes and then going off to be "independent"

and then lusting after her neighbor five minutes later.

REALLY BITCH REALLY?!?!!!dvsd

Thank you! The producers really ruined this show with that storyline. I started watching just for the Wilhelmina character after that but all the other storylines just made it un-watchable. They need to bring back Gio and totally cut back on at least half of these extra characters and maybe the viewers will return.

The Office has "turned to poo" with Michaels character just getting out of control. I'm actually glad that he got fired and I was hoping we would get a break from him, but now it's more of him. I'm this close to not watching anymore.

Seinfeld the last 2 seasons, (not so) coincidently when Larry David left. Starting with George's fiance dying from the glue on the wedding invitations

I was going to post this as well but thought I'd be ripped to shreds by the Seinfeld fans. That's when I stopped watching it. The show simply became stupid. I didn't even hang around for the finale.

Season 3 stopped me from watching it altogether. Season 2 was iffy, had the writers strike, and it had it's moments of highs and lows.

3 was a freefall of bad.

The last chapters I've watched of "Heroes" they "dared" to play with heroes being villains and villains being heroic. It should have been interesting, showing us how multidimensional characters can be. BUT: Skylar is one my favorite villains and seeing him try to reform was... L-A-M-E!

I have my hopes up (slightly) for next season, but I think the writers aren't sure where to go from here.

I guess if I developed a series I'd sit down for a year developing the whole story, and I'd sell it to the networks with a contract that stipulates that if they try to extend the story beyond my script I'm allowed to shoot at least one of the producers dead.

Alias was really good the first few seasons... then Nadia came into the picture and Sloane apparently became good and started APO and that's when I lost interest. At least JJ Abrams is now working on the awesome Lost.

I really loved "Six Feet Under" but the whole David breakdown thing after being carjacked seemed really wrong to me.

It had, however, one of the best concluding episodes of a series -- ever.

Oh, yes, how about the entire previous season of "24" -- that came pretty close to jumping the shark. This season -- much better.

I really loved "Six Feet Under" but the whole David breakdown thing after being carjacked seemed really wrong to me.

Hmm...

Yeah.

"Six Feet Under" remains my favorite show, ever... With writing and character development that set a new standard for television drama.

But.

That that 'David carjacking' episode was a serious misstep. That moment when he fantasizes about sucking off his kidnapper was just wrong....
