Are there any recent programmes you have started watching, and then lost interest in ?
American or British.
I started watching "Under The Dome"
The first episode really gripped me and I was really waiting for the second part. I watched it and the desire to watch it just dissolved !
I tried to get back into it with the third part but I just couldn't be bothered !
I'm still hanging on in there with Wentworth Prison !

Phil tries to appeal to the lowest common denominator with his feeble smutty attempts at humour.
The formula doesn't vary - I could be watching a programme from 2007 or 2013, there's not much difference except in Kirsty's coats.
The budget are too high for ordinary people to be able to identify with, and the people are often [though not always by any means] stuck up, and expect too much.
Yes, definitely. This programme is spoilt in my opinion by the awful commentary by Dave Lamb, so predictable and detracts from the programme, it doesn't add to it.
The formula of contestants, as you say, geared to be in conflict with another is very tired.
Also lost interest in all the Grand Design, Location Location Location, Homes in the sun type programmes too.
Also all the endless cookery shows, aside from Masterchef.
All the soaps - Corrie, Eastenders, Emmerdale.
Celebrity Big Brother (although its now over, I really only managed to watch the first 3 episodes then switched off)
Yep. Can get no enthusiasm going at all for the new series.
I will probably give it a go but really it should have ended by now.
I do think DL's over-exuberance when he talks about the online scrapbook is an intentional emphasis requested by the director though. Would anyone even remember the phrase 'online scrapbook' if they didn't hear it in that voice of his? I think the TV company are trying to promote the use of the online scrapbook concept, for advertising or other purposes.
Don't Tell The Bride - Its just predictable. All the freaks have been covered. All the snobs have been covered. Why not let someone on a low income plan their wedding instead of those with the funds?
Waterloo Road - Chalkie leaving ended it for me plus the stereotype of the Scouser Barry family as crooks. The vast majority of Scousers are law abiding people ffs.
I stopped watching when Richard Whiteley died
Hannibal - just couldn't keep up any interest in it after the first few episodes.
Celebrity Juice - its the same joke, over and over and over again.
Deal or no Deal - Edmonds sense of self importance and insistence that the game consists of something other than people opening boxes became unwatchable, along with the ridiculous themed weeks and increase in the length per episode. And the contestants grated as well.
I agree. I started watching EastEnders regularly in Summer 2010 and gave up last year. Like you, Fieldmouse, I don't regret it. The storylines got too repetitive and depressing. I think since all the soaps went four/five days a week, they run out of ideas and end up repeating the same old dross. I would say go back to two/three per week, but there would be an uprising.
