Biggest letdown T.V. Premier

[xipotec]

What show disappointed you most? what show did you wait for, and when it came out you couldn't believe how bad it was?

My #1

The Dresden files....just awful butchery

Right now, I'm split between The Dome and The Bastard Executioner. Not sure they were the biggest letdowns ever though.

The X-Men animated cartoon from the '90s. Pryde of the X-Men was amazing. The '90s series, however good the writing may have been (I know it has a lot of fans), had terrible animation and voice acting. Turned me off early, despite my being a lifelong X-Men nut.

 

[EVILFACE]

War of the Worlds tv series.

This is reaching back but the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

Sitting through 4 days of Captain Lou Albano's shenanigans just to get a Zelda cartoon on Friday was pure torture.

There are many bad shows, but to narrow things down, I'll only talk about those still being aired at the moment, and so far, pending improvements, definitely Supergirl.

War of the Worlds tv series.

I liked it at first, then it went to hell, expecially when they brought in a new producer. It could've been so much more.

 

[The Ween]

This is one of those times where there's so many that you can't think of them off the top of your head.

I do agree with The Dome. And there's alot of Syfy shows that I couldn't watch.

 

[EVILFACE]

The Dome is interesting that it started good and then went to bat**** crazy ridiculous awful. Pushing out the alien baby with her arm.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Coming off the heels of an excellent Transformers show... I absolutely hated this monstrosity.

I hated it from beginning to end, but I felt compelled to finish it since it was a sequel to Beast Wars.

I don't really ever anticipate TV shows so I can't be let down when I start a show. If it's bad, it's bad and I move on. That said, there are shows that have awesome starts that let me down in the end. So I'll add Battlestar Galactica. I thought the show took a turn for the worse as early as season 2.5 and the finale's jump ahead in time really pissed me off. I gave season 3 a chance and thought despite it not equaling the greatness of the first season and a half, it was getting things on track to awesome. And then the season 3 finale happened. That was an awful twist that made absolutely no sense at all. I never watched season 4 as a result and don't care to.

OMG.........I didn't see that!

I think I got through about 6 episodes before I gave up on it, simple because of the really bad acting in it. Glad I didn't invest anymore time in it now.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea was in the last couple episodes. It prolly on youtube if you wanna laugh.

 

[KitFisto]

Game of Thrones. Everyone was raving about it, so I finally watched not only the first episode, but I hung on for the first season. Last time I'll ever listen to popular choice.

Totally agree. A friend kept raving about it and made me borrow season 1. I watched it and had no desire for season 2. Haven't watched a bit since and have no desire. I don't get the appeal of this show.

 

[K07]

Mad Men and Walking Dead are two shows I watched for an entire season waiting for things to get good. They never got good. I have no desire to continue with either of them.

It's always funny to me when I have the exact opposite reaction to things. I loved the season 3 finale of BSG and I loved the first half of season 4. I felt in the first half, things lived up to that crazy twist in the 3 finale. The problem for me was the back half of season 4 where things just slowly meandered along. Thought I di like the series finale.

For me, i'm going with Fear the Walking Dead. I'm not sure i'm going to watch season 2. Season 1 is full of unlikable sh**ty characters that I cared nothing for. The original Walking Dead had a lot of problems in it's first 2 seasons, but I felt got it together well in season 3. FTWD's first season is not even half as good as it's predecessor's season 1.

Also a letdown so far, is Better Call Saul. Breaking Bad is fantastic through the entire run but Saul is just...okay in comparison. I'm already a tad bored in season 2.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Bates Motel was the biggest letdown for me. Both Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga are the highlight of the show but I for the life of me cannot get into it. Watched two seasons and stopped afterwards. I love Psycho and think both actors were excellent but the show falls flat.

Since you're talking about folks with opposite opinions I loved the first season of Better Call Saul. I think the quality of the writing and acting is right up there with Breaking Bad to be honest. And I was not expecting that going in. Having said that, in full disclosure, Saul and Mike were my two favorite characters from Breaking Bad.

Gotham. I go back every once in a while, but the first two minutes of each episode reminds me why I left.

Also, Vinyl. The trailers looked great, but the first twenty minutes are the most depressing and slow ****e I've ever seen.
