Hard to stop watching
- I'm into Smallville and Supernatural. Why I don't watch every week is because there isn't any Clois. I thought it would happen but they bought Lana back, I have never liked her, and it stopped making sense for me. Supernatural was so good but they went offbase with this whole Sam drinking demon blood thing. I used to look forward to the episodes until I saw that happen. I might say I won't watch them but I lie. I will catch it on a replay because I don't have dvr.

To complicated
- My husband and I quit watching Lost. The story just became ridiculous and far fetched. We also quit watching Grey's Anatomy it just got boring and there are other shows on that we like better like CSI.

Lost to Lost
- I quit watching Lost when it just went on and on and on and you never really got any answers without getting ten more questions at the same time.

I broke up with "Lost" fast
- I was so annoyed when they killed off the fat guy's girlfriend at the end of season 2 that I just quit cold turkey, and have never missed it.

It became obvious the writing was awful
- I got hooked on 90210 when it started, but had to stop watching when Adrianna got pregnant and ended up back with Navid over the course of a couple of weeks. It was a small thing, but the writers could have milked that whole "longing" thing much better, and it made me realize that the other story lines were just as badly written. Then there's the acting ...

hoping for the end
- I watch but secretly hope for an end. I was just thinking too bad they didn't renew Ugly Betty for just one more season. I am so sick of the show but can't stop watching. Also, Brothers and Sisters is getting ridiculous so I wish it would be renewed for one more year just to give us an ending. Six Feet Under ran and then had a graceful end. They didn't have it go on and on and on even though people still wanted more. All shows should have this.

Breaking up with a Network
- After ABC's total disregard for quality programming by canceling my 4 favorite programs, and not even airing the final episodes of 3 of them until 6 months after the fact, I have declared a moratorium on the entire network. I'll continue to watch the shows I've already committed myself to, but I haven't begun watching any of the new programming. I'm finished with ABC. When my current favorites are off the air, I will remove ABC from my DVR's favorite channels list.

When the story got ridiculous
- I gave up on Heroes at the beginning of this season when I realized I no longer cared who was good or evil, who lived or who died, and I didn't care if my DVR forgot to tape an episode. It was obvious my love affair with the show was over.

Sadtosaygoodbye
- I usually know it is time to say goodbye when I can't wait for the episode to be over or I fast forward through some scenes. Though thanks to DVR, the break up usually lingers a bit!

DVR piled up
- Even though I was into it at the very start, before I knew what happened, almost 6 episodes of Fringe had piled up in the DVR and I didn't really care when (or if) I ever watched them. Eventually, I realized it was best to just delete the whole thing and go our separate ways.
