The funny thing is that i used to get really pissed off when watching TV and channel surfing and just trying to find a channel not showing a CSI. I decided to give the original CSI a go, mainly because i like William Petersen, and since then i have been hooked. I still avoid the Miami and New York editions, but the Las Vegas one is excellent.

In my defense, I've never been a big comic book guy. If Heroes has a lot of great elements that Comic book fans see, they most likely would have gone right over my head.

I'm still willing to trudge through it, since I bought the entire collection based on reviews, but going through Buffy Season 1 is like torture to me.

Grey's Anatomy & Lost
I loved the first 2 seasons of both shows. I couldn't barely stomach s3 of GA and s3 of lost I totally bailed on. I don't think I'm gonna make it to s4 of either show

Oh, are we including shows that "jumped the shark" at some point but were enjoyed in the beginning? Or just ones where the concept seemed really cool, but the execution was just a bit off and made it not enjoyable?

Golden, don't feel alone; I'm a comic book guy and I wanted to love Heroes. I forced myself to watch every episode, demanding of myself to love it. And I don't. And I'm not happy with myself for it. Seriously, I'm too spoiled; had a show with this premise came out in the 80's or 90's, I'd be apeshit.
But it didn't click and I really wish it had. There is just so many ways it could be better that it frustrates me to no end. I may have to force myself to drink the koolaid and try this show again.
Oh, and a huge vote for John from Cinci, but I cast that vote with admitted bias. Yes, we could all be enjoying season 4 of Deadwood right now, but Milch had to slum with this shit; Serenity Now!

Back on topic, I liked CSI and House for awhile but now I can't stand either. Both shows have a good premise but it got boring watching the same story over and over.

I couldn't get into Heroes because the acting is mediocre at best on that show.
I agree Goat3001. I liked (still do to a point) CSI but after the same story over & over it just gets way too old, way too fast. They just don't shake things up enough. I loved the Liev episodes this season but they had to kill his character off. Also I bet that "Miniature Killer" storyline that will be continue next season is going to end up with an extremely disappointing conclusion.
The only thing good about the CSI's being on CBS is that unlike the original Law & Order & NBC sticking with it dispite sinking ratings for the show, CBS will most likely cancel the CSI's that get to the 6-7 million viewers a week mark.
I really, really hope thats the case with CSI: Miami.

As long as William Petersen stays on the original CSI, I will still watch it. Same goes with Gary Sinise on NY. I'll still watch Miami for it's cheesiness.

Re: TV shows you thought you'd like but now dislike?
I moved out of the US recently and Hulu won't work here. I have been blind buying some popular shows, and I am not loving all of them. Thought I would.
Weeds- hated it
Deadwood- didn't like
Really hated Trueblood, the worst TV show I've seen in a long time
Six Feet Under(1st season) was good, but hate the crazy brother thing. Not sure if I would like the rest of the seasons.
OK:
The Tudors, bit boring since you know the outcome. I also was stupid and thought Henry was going to be played by the actor from the Dahmer movie, don't know how I got them mixed up.
Californication, watched a few episodes
Good:
Dexter- the first season was slow for me(hated Deb and too many flashbacks). Almost didn't watch season 2, but glad I did, loved it. Watching season 3 soon.
Brotherhood is on the way. Also got Extras, Friday Night Lights, Farscape, and Lost.
Gave up on The Office after season 4, and recently started 30 rock-takes it's place perfectly.
Anybody have any shows in mind I should try, they have to be on DVD though. Thanks.
