This year I lost:
Fringe
the Office
Burn Notice
Breaking Bad
Young Justice
Happy Endings
coming off of last years:
Chuck
Awake
Terra Nova
Prime Suspect
Entourage
Men of a Certain Age
This year will see the end of:
How I met your Mother & probably Community and Hawaii 5-0
Means my season pass list is getting pretty light. I dumped Glee & Person of Interest last year. Will probably dump American Horror Story this year(still haven't finished Asylum).
I also get the complaints for White Collar. It's turned into Burn Notice, trapped by it's own premise. Is Neal good or bad? Will he take off the anklet and steal some priceless artifact and hop aboard the nearest jet? None of the above, yet every season the writers feel the need to revisit that plot a couple times if not center a season long arc around it. Like Burn Notice, the strongest episodes are the stand alone case of the week ones. It's run its course.
So outside all these shows ending/getting dumped that leaves me with 4 scripted shows. CSI, BBT, MFamily & TWDead (and GoT via Blu-ray). Sad. Guess I should try out some new shows this year.

I don't follow many shows every week, but I do have a few favorites. I suppose the only thing I'm giving up this year is The League. Technically, I guess FX gave it up for me. ##ck you very much, FX. I'm not paying more for additional cable channels. I'll wait for it to hit Netflix next year.
