Currently Dislike:
Battlestar Galatica - the only show that I'd say I'd currently dislike that I watch. Who thought it'd be a good idea to put the main focus on a love triangle this season and make every character involved in it completely unlikeable? Still watching because they've ended that love triangle plot, the season is almost over and I know they're going to pull out all the stops.
No Complaints:
Heros - my favorite show on TV at the moment. Hasn't let me down yet.
Ugly Betty - Mindless fun. This show does its job very well.
Not as good as they have been but far from unwatchable:
Gilmore Girls - it's glory days are in the past but it still has heart and can pull out a good episode.
Veronica Mars - Meh. Stupid network fiddling around with the show to ruin the season long mystery arcs. Also I'm not caring for any of the characters on the show except for Veronica and her dad. And where the hell did Mac go?
Lost - still good, some flashbacks work, some don't. some episodes work, some don't.
Grey's Anatomy - entertaining, but not living up to it's potential.
Desperate Housewives - still fun, current season is better than the previous, IMO.
I'm sorry to hear this. I've never watched a full episode of this show (it's opposite Gilmore Girls), but from what I've seen it looked quirky and fun and I was thinking about picking this up on DVD. Is the current season really that bad?

I don't know what it is, but when I invest in a show for a couple years I want to ride it out until the end, regardless of how bad it gets.

The only show that might come close is Studio 60, but with it on 'indefinite hiatus' or whatever, I truly enjoy the three shows I watch - Lost, BsG, and Rome.

Smallville for me. Even though I feel like this season is a vast improvement over the past few seasons, I still ask myself every time... "Now why do I watch this again?" Usually the season openers and the season finales are great, so I guess I watch the rest of it so I will know what has happened in between the season bookends.

I've also put off watching Scrubs and BSG.

One Tree Hill - At least The O.C. bounced back in its final season. This show has been mediocre at best since late in its first season. Yet here it is 3 years later and I'm still watching.
Smallville - One of the most maddeningly inconsistent shows of all-time. It can be so good one week and then complete crap for the next 5 episodes. Yet once again, I'm still watching it in its 6th year.
Lost - It's been alright the last couple of episodes, but Season 3 is overall a borderline disaster. Bouncing back and forth from one group of characters to another is not a good storytelling method. And after wasting so much time last year on the Tailies, a subplot which ended up amounting to nothing, it's hard to take the Others seriously. With ratings sinking like the Titanic, dragging the series out as long as possible is no longer a wise move by ABC. Provided the creators aren't making this up as they go(as I've long suspected they're doing), they need to start providing answers now!
Grey's Anatomy - It's not the show I dislike so much as the characters, at least most of them. Seriously, when you're doing a series that's essentially about people hooking up with each other, isn't it a good idea for the viewer to actually be rooting for them? And now they're taking one of the few likable characters, Addison(a woman we were ironically supposed to hate when she originally showed up), and putting her on another series.
Real Time With Bill Maher - "New Rules" is pretty funny, but for some reason I keep tuning in to the rest of the hour. Maybe it's to keep reminding myself why I hold most journalists and entertainers in such low regard these days, at least when it comes to their view of the world.

DVD Talk Reviewer
I've stopped watching 24, but I might pick up the DVD (or review it, if I'm lucky).
Even if this season doesn't pick up, the episodes often play better back-to-back.
