Some people can watch a series from the first episode to the very last.  Almost like a cult, except without all the fun.  But for most of us, we get into a show and then fade into the background, like an ugly girl at her prom.

So here are 5 Shows I Was Really Into, But Then Lost Complete Interest In:

#5 GREYS ANATOMY
I loved this show when for like the first few seasons, but for some reason I just lost complete interest in the stories.  It was right after they booted Isiah Washington.  I didn’t stop watching out of protest, I just stopped watching because I didn’t care anymore.  You can have your Izzys and McDreamies, but they’re not for me.  I also don’t like how almost every guy is a “Mc-Something.” I’m just a McLeod.  Although, I’d like to take on the moniker “McBlogger” or “McEmo” or something really bold and just flagrantly wrong and sacreligious like “McJesus.” I’d like to think it’d be rather funny if you heard someone say “I can’t believe how dreamy McJesus is, not in a religous way, but in a shallow, I only value people on their outeOP,r appearance way”.  But anyways, Greys is no longer on my radar.

#4 DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
The first season was more addicting than a roll of Spree candies.  After that though, it was just so off the wall that I couldn’t bear to watch it any more.  I have to admit, I don’t really like many of the women on the show, and chances are if you don’t like the main characters, it may not be the best show for you.  It would be like saying “I hate the Brat Pack, but lets rent Breakfast Club.”  Or “I hate dining with overweight people, so lets go to IHOP.”  I guess I was in to how it was a kind of Taboo show that stopped being Taboo.  Honestly, does anyone still watch this show?

#3 HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
I honestly don’t know why I stopped watching this show.  I really liked it, except for Ted, who is a jerk.  But for some reason I didn’t watch this season.  This could be a show I dive back into over the summer.  I gotta admit that I was sick of the whole “Who is the mother thing.”   But it was pretty funny, especially Barney and super especially for being a CBS comedy!  I actually regret not watching this season.  Maybe that will be my summer resolution, to revisit this show, or to watch a Lord of The Rings Movie, which I’ve always refused to watch.

#2 MY NAME IS EARL
This is another show that I really liked, but then stopped watching this year.  Very odd, especially because I’m a huge Jason Lee fan.  Not sure what lost me.  I guess it was just the lack of more underlying plots.  That’s the one thing I wish that Earl and 30 Rock had more of.  I like sub stories, you know, the ones that you know about when you watch the series and not just random episodes.  I do remember though, in the last season I watched, I just didn’t think they were as cleverly written as in the past, and I’m beginning to emerge as a “well written comedy snob” (Sorry, CW).  Who knows, maybe I’ll rejoin the bandwagon and watch again, maybe I won’t.  Guess I’ll just leave you in suspense with that one!

#1 SOUTH PARK
I was a freshman in college when South Park first hit.  I was addicted to it, we all were, even Wendy, the Snapple Lady had to be watching.  The first 3 season were magic.  But then I thought the whole thing got real old real quick.  The whole notion of watching something because its so “cutting edge and vile” seems to lose its charm after a few years.  Now its part of the twisted social fabric of this place we call America.  South Park is kind of like that filthy joke telling buddy of yours.  The first few years you knew him, he cracked you up, but now you’re embarrassed to take him out to Dennys.  That made absolutely no sense.

Well that’s it.  What shows have fallen off your TV maps?
