Did you ever really get into a TV series and then...

...you gave up on it when it 'jumped the shark'?
I usually finish what I start, but after about 3 or 4 seasons of Nip/Tuck the wife and I skipped the last few seasons and jumped to the finale.
And the other one I just gave up on was HBO's first ever series, Oz. I made it a few episodes into Season 4, but it was taking me forever; plus it's just so damn dark and depressing. So the shock value entertainment finally wore on me. Those damn lock down alarms!!!
So I skipped to the finale with that as well and have 11 minutes left to watch tonight.
Thank Mother Earth I can focus on finishing Sons of Anarchy and then getting into something new soon!

Can fuck with my sister!! She LIVED to watch that show.. Paid for the TV channel just to watch it.. Then when she got divorced and had to drop cable she got all sad that she'd missed the ending! Lol
(I haven't watched The Wire - everybody says I'm nuts.)
Still love Dexter aside from the ending...keeps my hope open it'll make some sort of return.
Oz was brilliant, though I may have been a bit young at 15 or 16 to be watching it...

Arrow, I liked it at first and still kind of enjoy it, but I find it hard to hit play sometimes because it feels like every episode is the same. I'm somewhere in season 2.
I was told to watch the first season of Twin Peaks and not even bother going on to the next season, even though I guess there is a cliff hanger at the end of season 1.

The first 2 seasons were great.

Sons of anarchy. I loved the first few seasons but it has gone downhill. I'm almost done with season 6 and will finish it as I watched it this far but I do not enjoy it nearly as much as I was.

Can the question be rephrased: Did you ever really get into a tv series and then give up on it when it started to suck?
I gave up on Bates Motel a couple episodes ago. I just don't care anymore.
There's a few shows I stopped watching, but I was never really into them to begin with. NCIS, House, Californication. Actually I might have watched the end of Californication. I can't remember, but what does that tell you?

Loved the 1st 4 seasons and spiraled down after that. After the 3rd episode of season 7 I just said, "Fuck it, I'm done."

If you like good finales, the BEST ever IMO was 'Dexter's' prior series, 6 Feet Under. Great series overall, and just an amazing way to wrap it up. I cried like a baby each of the several times I replayed that ending montage.
Really excited (yet sad) for the Mad Men finale. That is up there with my all-time faves for sure.
After that I will be focusing on finishing up Sons of Anarchy (when not watching Game of Thrones), then I'll watch the final seasons of Californication and Boardwalk Empire.
