Biggest Loser - was somewhat inspiring at the start (granted I would eat McDonalds while watching); but then seemed too contrived...

Deadliest Catch

Dexter - love the show, but thankfully they are hitting the final season - how long can he pull this sugar-honey-iced-tea off????

 
A show that I thought was gone too soon...

Pushing Daisies

killed by the writers' strike.

 
Yuuupppp! Storage wars and all the "reality" shows they start off ok and if they get a following it goes right down hill.

Sometimes I miss Monster Garage. OCC got old. Fast n Loud is just that. A loudmouth babbling about making a fast buck

The storage war clone shows are just awful, although Brandy is a fine girl.

Monster Garage and Junk Yard Wars used to be favorites back in high school / college. Was a shame when they were both cancelled. I know JYW was still active in Britain as of a year or two ago (I think); but it didn't have the same aspect as the US version.

 
I watched every episode of the first season of survivor,biggest loser, and lost.. But then never really followed it past that..

I also was the only person watching Sarah Conner, the terminator chronic less that show was great but didn't make it...

 
Real World- I think I was twelve when it debuted and I thought it would be SO cool to live in NYC with a bunch of strangers and Eric Nies was SO hot.

Fast forward to now and I think, "Why don't these lazy bastards get jobs?! Quit getting drunk and screwing your roommates!"


HAHA...after the season (or maybe starting with that season) with Puck it got pretty formulaic

One person with a substance abuse problem

One person who was militaristically gay

One person who was a religious zealot

One complete asshat

One good old boy

One drama queen

It became all about the drama. I hate drama.

 
I loved MST3K with Joel Hodgson. It was merely OK with Mike Nelson, but I quit watching around 95/6.

"Let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas...."

 
I forgot about the Sarah Conner Chronicles. I liked it even though the acting was pretty bad.

 
OMG, I loved MST3K. Agree with the host changes. There are still episodes on Netflix.

See, about 6 seasons ago, Real World even quit with having the one of each. They just went slutty.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Say Yes to the Dress. (I know you guys were all totally watching this.)

 
The Atlanta one. The southern thing was interesting, but then it got crazy. It was the same thing- grammy doesn't want the bride to look like whore, bride wants to look like a whore, bride's mom wants her in a pageant dress...cue southern colloquialisms and scene.

We still will catch the Kleinfeld's one every once in awhile, but that's because we've nicknamed the bridal consultants- Mole, Smoker Teeth, etc.

+1. Watching the Hodgson episodes on Netflix was one of our favorite things to do when the Hubs and I were dating.

Didn't think about these, but totally agree with those above - The Real World and Biggest Loser.

TRW - stopped watching after New Orleans, I think. I actually met some of the cast that year outside of the house during Mardi Gras. Actually, I watched a few more seasons in the 2003-07 timeframe as my now wife got me hooked on it again.

Biggest Loser - The first few seasons were really neat. Unfortunately, as all of the shows do, it got WAAAAAYY too dramatic and commercialistic.

"Here is a great idea for a smoothie. Use ice from Sonic, non-fat Danon yogurt, Whole Foods organic bananas, and this sh*tty brand-name sh*t that we also get used to push. Dump it all in a Kitchen Aid mixer and then pour it into your favorite Tupperware cup for a refreshing after workout treat." Also, too much crying. Whiney babies drained me.
