J: Which shows have you given up on watching recently, and why?
Jennifer: I stopped watching Ugly Betty this season. There wasn't really any one thing or moment that made me stop, I just realized one week that I just wasn't enjoying the show very much anymore. The show has a lot of great characters, but somehow I just stopped caring about them, especially Betty, which is problematic since she's the main character. I've also stopped watching Scrubs (I tried a few episodes of the new incarnation but I think I'd really just rather leave it at last season's written-as-a-series-finale) and 24 (I didn't finish last season and I don't think I'll be bothering to start this season). Also this might not count but I also never really got enough into Flashforward and V and won't be watching when they return.
Mira: I gave up American Idol because I realized that I spent more time complaining about it than enjoying it. Except I cheated a little today and watched for 20 minutes to see Kristen Chenoworth (sp?). I've also unofficially given up 90210 and Melrose Place. The fake reason is because the shows are so stupid beyond description and I can spend my time watching better stuff. The real reason is because I fell behind and the episodes I missed aren't available on hulu/cwtv anymore. They're a very, very guilty pleasure but I'm sure with more time away from the shows I'll learn not to miss it anymore. (Kind of like when I gave up The OC.)

for some reason I gave up on dollhouse and fringe. i may watch the rest of dollhouse when it comes out on DVD. i think fringe is a good show, but it just wasn't compelling enough to hold my interest.
for me, it's CSI (the original las vegas one. gave up on the others long ago). i've just...had enough. i didn't really keep up last year, either, so it wasn't just because grisham & sara were gone. also, i've given up on espn's football coverage entirely--the pre-game show, the highlight show, and even it's live coverage of the NFL draft. the NFL network has won me over. again, i'm just tired of hearing chris berman say "HE-COULD-GO-ALL-THE-WAY!!!" enough.
i, too, hate chris berman!
oh and i also gave up on fringe. i think we decided at some point last season that we'd just netflix it but we still haven't gotten around to it...
