1. ALIAS- The intro of Lauren in Season 3. At first, I thought they were going to turn her into The Evil Fiance, which to me is the lowest of all cliches. For those who don't know, The Evil Fiance is when in a movie or tv show when there are two characters in love, one obstacle they have to go through is one of the two's evil fiance/boyfriend/girlfriend. It doesn't matter if they are hurt or insulted by this romance, since they are either jerks who never cared in the first place or conveniently die or go away so that the two can finally be together. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I can say that I felt that at first. But after a while, it seemed like they were avoiding that cliche. They made her a real person. But then, when after Syd's two year absence has been revealed, they decide to turn Lauren into an evil bitch after all. And at that moment, when they had the dramatic reveal that she was the sniper on the roof, I said to myself, "OK. That's it. They've run out of ideas.
Season 3 was fine for me...I actually kind of enjoyed it...when, in Season 4, they started do mainstream-friendly episodes which didn't pretain to the story is where the show went way downhill...the story was strung together so weakly and nothing was explained from the 3rd season. Now in the 4th season, again, the introduction of an enitrely new cast (the death of a principle) and other assorted flaws have made me glad the show is ending.
During Season 3 of 24, I almost stopped watching when they wouldn't leave the Salazar plot line...so incredibly stupid...
Simpsons...all the new seasons are crap...I can't watch the new episodes anymore...its just rehased ideas...they are all out of ideas.
American Dad...pilot episode, that show sucks and is major ripoff of FG
Carnivale, when those ass holes cancelled it after the 2nd season
There's been a few times during the 4400 where I just want to stop watching...some terrible arcs and some absolutely horrendous writing...I've stuck threw it, but its still not a great show
I really find bad TV not very memorable...its hard to think of anymore examples

In Dark Angel, when Max and Logan were incapacitated in the back seat of some old car in an episode in which Max (or possibly Logan) gets some kind of 12 hour reprieve from the “virus.” That was the end of it, folks. I stood all I could stand up to that moment. If I watched any other Dark Angel episodes after that moment it was habit alone. It’s really a shame too, because I thought the first season was pure genius.
Buffy eventually killed itself as well, though not in any kind of abrupt fashion. It was a combination of many things. Willow becoming gay, for instance. (And to head off any fruitcakes that are poised to start their rehearsed song and dance, I didn’t have any problem with her being gay; it was the totally implausible reverse of character that spoiled it.) Riley Finn, Post-Initiative. But what probably killed it the most was Buffy’s erotic mental breakdown with Spike. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I was tolerating it up until then. The show should have ended at the end of the fifth season. Anything beyond that is just death throws.
