So we're just ignoring The X-Files exists, eh?

Oh... I guess I should by one of those things eventually. Maybe my contribution would have helped prevent this.

Maybe...

Reply to Which show did you watch the most of before quitting and why? by spectacleskeptic

I never start a show I don't think I'll be interested in, so I can't say I've experienced this exact thing. But there have been a lot of shows that started out amazing and then went downhill, so I quit watching after a few episodes into whatever season "jumped the shark" for me.

The X-Files was my first. After Mulder left, there was no point in watching anymore. Then it was The Simpsons. After season 4 I was only watching out of habit, and then finally quit after season 8, and I have no idea why I lasted for 4 more seasons. I quit watching Family guy after Brian died. And all the other shows I have watched just end up getting canceled for no reason.

I think I'm getting to the point where I am waiting for a second or third season of a show to come out before I get into it anymore. Got other stuff to do than start a show that will end before it's time.
