I also think its more of a live watching thing. I binge watched Lost long after it was off the air. Its much easier to stick it out and finish a shitty show when you don't have to invest 8 years in it. Just watch it all in a couple months and if it sucks... you didn't lose much.

I watched all of the Bobby Moynihan / John Larroquette show thinking, "this can't be this bad forever... they are just setting up the characters." But it really was that bad the whole time.

Sherman remarked, "Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?" Grant looked up. "Yes," he replied, followed by a puff. "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow, though."

Thinking about it, I've never completed a show I didn't like. I guess the closest would be The Secret Life of the American Teenager but even that one lost me by the end. I made it a good two years into 2 Broke Girls. Well, they weren't good years, but y'know.

Ozark was renewed and True Detective's 3rd season shoots in a few months. You have some more terrible TV ahead of you if you wish to keep those on your list.

a few laughs here and there, but whitney cummings' style of humor is so aggressively ribald that it gets old very quickly. and she writes every character to sound exactly like her.

Wishing a speedy recovery to my boy, Michael!

It was also roughly the same 5 jokes over and over again, along with some over the top racism to fill the void. We just stopped watching one day and didn't really miss it.

A little Chicago Guy Literature aside here: I made the mistake of reading Joseph Epstein's nonfiction before his fiction (Tall Midget, who I think was a Northwestern guy, may come in here and say my mistake was reading Joseph Epstein at all, if only we could ping him to the Bad TV Shows thread) so that I learned all his personal idiosyncrasies and literary influences, and then couldn't ignore that he writes every character -- whether man, woman, or child -- to sound exactly like himself. He made Best American Short Stories a few years ago and I missed the byline on one but soon noticed that everyone was a know-it-all prick who had a strange obsession with Henry James.
