Shows/Anime You Were Disappointed In

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles

This show started out so excellently, such magnificent effects and use of the terminator robots. It had good action, good choice actors, and I loved Thomas Dekker (John Connor) from "Heroes" previously. All was going fine until the show got REALLY STUPID and jerked around with time travel, totally disrupting the movie connection for a stupid "let's make it in the 2008 era" simply for the shallow excuse of modernism. It was a good show wasted.

Ben 10: Alien Force

I was really looking forward to this, I mean really looking forward. And even though its only had 3 episodes aired (2 if you count the hour one was one episode), and I tried to understand other's views on the show, its just a poorly thought out show. They totally screwed the charm of the aliens of the old, made too many changes, and literally nudered one of the best villains of the old show. Its cool that its a serious mature show now, but its become so utterly backwards from its original series, its a poor, poor sequel.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

I am probably in the supremely small minority of crazy people about this, but I seriously did not feel this anime was as "masterpiece" worthy as people crack it up to be. Its a good series, the end MOVIE is a masterpiece, but I just didn't find this anime to be that legendary or groundbreaking. At times it became too confusing and mixed things weirdly with the dark serious stuff and comedic stuff. Without the movie, I don't feel the show would be seen as "godly" as it is now and that's my main issue, the movie kind of did all the work.

Beast Machines

Pretty self explanatory if you've ever seen Beast Wars and the show side by side, plus I agree with what Medikor said about it too.

Bionic Woman

Was expecting this to be a hot new sci-fi series and instead I got a dull, turd of a series which is shocking because I thought a super cybernetic bad ass babe couldn't go wrong.....I was wrong. The show barely made any GOOD use of its cyborg star, she was a bland, dumpy looking woman who barely caught my eye or interest. The mystery in the show wasn't that interesting or cool, and the rest of the characters were rather average. There was so much potential to make this fun and cool to watch but eventually, I just didn't care to watch it anymore. I was watching out of habit not for fun, so I stopped.

Kevin, I'm assuming?

Alien Force definitely feels different compared to the original series. The new aliens are ok, but why they'd scrap the old aliens? And Max dies (supposedly)? Not ok.

Oh Max didn't die, he just joined a special op's unit and changed his name to Col. Roy Campbell.

I support The Sarah Connor Chronicles, because the continuity of the films don't even synch up qith each other. I've always taken the films to be set in different timelines than the previous, same applied here. That's just me though. Plus it has the guy who plays Doctor Venture in it as a villain towards the end so it gets a double vote for me.

I was disappointed with DragonBall Z. My friends talked it up like it was sent from heaven. Then I watched it. It was terrible. It was long, drwan-out, and a litle cliche, the characters didn't really grab me and the dialogue fell flat.

I was also disappointed with Ninja Turtles Fast Forward, all of the goodwill of the 4 previous seasons was dashed against the rocks with this one. Not the worse show ever, but an attempt to bring the show back to the 1987 lightheartness coupled with the 2003 grittiness and it just didn't work. There's not much more I can say about this one except it failed.

I must be honest, at the moment, with the recent episodes,
Family Guy

I mean the plots are meh, but it seems it's just the same old stuff over and over, for example: The Vaudville guys, who were both shot, they brought the ghosts back, and said Johnny liked little boys. Completely unnessecery...I was satisfied killing them off.

Family Guy, right now, seems like with the past episodes, they're making episodes just to make episodes, Also, the chicken fights, Done. Get them over with. They're just 8-10 minute fillers completely unfunny and just boring. Personally, whenever they come on, no matter which one, I turn off the channel.

So, I'm a DIE HARD family guy fan, but please, please, Seth and the writers, make some interesting plots...

...

H2O, the new show on nickelodeon.

It's a pretty crappy turn on vampires or werewolves where they turn into something at midnight. Of course, the slightest showing of blood or violence or gore sparks a nationwide uproar, so guess what they turn into. Mermaids. Happy, Giddy, Mermaids. Oh JOY! Nick, Come ON!, I am old enough to turn away from your channel already, but I CHOOSE to watch it. So, excuse my language but Damnit, I want a frikking enjoyable show to turn on when all other stuff bores me.

The Simpsons and Futurama:
Honestly, a few episodes are good, but there's nothing redeeming about either show. However, the Simpsons movie was pretty good...

ALL of the new Nickelodeon shows
Bad plots, dumb characters...pretty much everything about them. Puts me right to sleep.

Naruto
I used to be really into this series, but it soon got boring and pointless. The plots seem to be getting more and more confusing each time. And, what the hell is Orochimaru? Some anime version of Michael Jackson? Dear God...

Robot Chicken
Ok, it's pretty funny...sometimes. For a comedy series, the humor is VERY immature.

South Park
Got old after 3 seasons. Honestly, come up with something different. Enough of the same old things.

American Dad
Haven't liked one episode. It's not funny, there's never a good plot, and the dad (Stan, I think) is a jacka$$. Seth needs to focus much more on Family Guy.

The only reason I didn't mention the newer Pokemon seasons is because I think the movies are the only things that keep the series tied together. But the TV series...I stopped watching it.

(No one kill me for saying the Simpsons...please) XD

I risk making myself incredibly unpopular for saying it, but Family Guy is one of those shows which I never really "got", so to speak. I caught one of the early episodes in 1999, before it became such a massive cult phenomenon (shortly before it's UK premier, I remember reading an article which reckoned that it could be the next Simpsons, and that intrigued me), and, if I'll be totally honest, I thought it was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen (no offence intended to the FG fans here). I thus concluded that the article had been full of crap, opted not to watch any more episodes and was able to put it out of my mind for a while.

Then, a few years go by, and Family Guy is suddenly this big cult phenomenon which everybody loves. I began to wonder if maybe I'd misjudged it, or perhaps just caught it at a bad episode. I happened to be at a friend's house when her housemates were having this big Family Guy marathon, so I decided to stick around and watch it with them, just to see if I had been too hasty in my previous judgement. But no, numerous episodes later, and my opinion still hadn't changed. I still found the characters to be annoying and unlikeable, and the humour and storylines to be far too senseless and random for their own good. *Shrugs*, I don't know, maybe it's just me, but the appeal of this show has always totally passed me by.
