@Spanky Ask and you shall receive...

So copying @Amber Bunny Slippers great thread and asking about tv shows. Here are some of my most wasted time on TV:

Heroes - Do I need to explain that one?
Charmed - Tried but couldn't even get throught season 1
Lost - I got so involved at the time but I don't see how and when I would want to see it again
Glee - For some reason I use to love it at the beginning...
Entourage - hummm I have no reason there, just everyone is so garbage but I use to watch it for some reason!

What about yours?

Awful. Your best pick. No interesting storylines, character development, likeable characters. Nothing. Just a wish fulfilment fantasy for guys. In that way it was like Sex and the City for men. Brunch, bros, fame, disposable women, money.

It's not an entire series but Game of Thrones season 7 was the most depressing. I loved the show, so to see them throw logic and character development out the window for fan service, gotcha moments and CGI was sad. And it reminded everyone GRRM would not write it that way...because he never will write it. The books will never be finished. Double whammy of sad.
The Borgias. I hated every character. Jeremy Irons could read the phone book and make it Emmy award winning, but everyone else is miles behind. It just didn't connect with me. Which is weird because I love those type of shows (The Tudors, Rome). Sons of Anarchy almost had the same problem, but I loved Opie. After he was killed I lost interest. I made it to the last season but never finished it

This should have been the real name of the show : Brunch Bros

I think that was Mark Wahlbergs first option.
I recognized the Sopranos as some masterful writing (at least it had promise) when I caught the first 4 eps that were highly recommended to me. But I didn't like any of the characters, and was actually wanting to see the seeming protagonist (Tony?) dismembered by the Punisher (and I'm not even a Punisher fan) so I've never watched it again.

Funny enough, I gave Charmed a try, and while I kinda liked it, it wasn't enough to suck me in. (This was back when I had to rent dvds from the video store and I didn't have a lot of spare money for things like that, so it's possible that if I caught it free online--commercials were acceptable back then as they didn't take up too much time--then I'd have watched more.) However, I saw a video here on BB that was poking a lot of fun at it that is actually making me rethink that as I love to laugh, and that had me laughing hard.

Though loving to laugh, I almost always give comedy sitcoms a pass (notable exceptions notwithstanding). It could be that I tend to try them somewhere in the middle (like in a motel room, with friends, etc) and they just don't work for me. (While I'm aware that others laughing can help it so a person hearing laughter also laughs, and laughing together creates a bond so that psychologically it helps bond the viewer to the show, I couldn't help but feel it was telling us when to laugh as we'd never figure it out on our own.)

I only caught part of the first episode of the Heathers remake and I've already sworn to never give it a try beyond what little I saw. I love Heathers, the musical as well, but that was not Heathers, just a bizarre bait and switch ripoff of it. I don't hate-watch, especially if it encourages them by adding a little more profit, so I just won't, though I am morbidly curious what exactly the writers were trying for besides exploiting the name recognition & praise of Heathers.
 
Oh yes charmed and glee for me. Light enough entertainment at the time but a borefest to rewatch.

I mentioned Gypsy, what a waste of time.

I attempted a TVD rewatch, but no. Just not worth it. Especially knowing that it turns into a weird vampire swinger club and the creepiest vamp get the girl.

Riverdale. Pretty little liars, quit them at s2 ew.

Home and Away (apart from the fact it would take about 20 years to rewatch a soap)
 
I watch most TV shows one time and then that's it, not because they're bad necessarily, but because re-watches of multiple hours of TV is too time consuming and there's only so much time what with real life and brand new shows coming on.
If I give a show a repeat then it has to be exceptionally enjoyable in some way.
Anyway, shows that I watched all the way through and have mentally chosen never to re-watch:

Smallville
Lost
Any of the Star Treks' other that the OS (haven't seen Discovery though)
Heroes
Scream: the series
The Borgias (I love glossy, well-done historical stuff but this was *blows raspberry*)
House Of Cards
Under The Dome
True Blood

Under the dome! Forgot about that one but I gave it up after 2 seasons.
Entourage - Literal dude bro Hell.
Family Guy - An epitome of the moral bankruptcy of our postmodern civilisation.
Big Bang Theory - See above.
How I Met Your Mother - Yuck!
Two and a Half Men - I'd rather die than watch five minutes of this. This is how I expect water boarding to feel like.
Seinfeld - Pretentious and empty.

Two and a half men is literally the worst popular thing that was on tv back then!

I second How I Met Your Mother!!
See I'm different than some here because I'm actually more likely to re-watch something I've already seen and loved. Guess I just the comfort of enjoying something I know I already love. Plus with certain shows you will get something new out of it on a re-watch. Think this is true especially if there is a gap of years between watches. For me it would be the outright bad shows or shows with no watchable value at all that I wouldn't watch again. A show liked Charmed is pretty bad. But its at least watchable and was part of my youth. So I will still watch random episodes every now and then.

Same here
Two Broke Girls - only seen one episode when at a grandparents. Quite possibly the worst show I've ever had the misfortune of witnessing.

Also pretty much anything on the CW, I've made the mistake of watching.

Yeah it never appeared to me. Not seen an episode and don't see any reason to.
Evil Seal

Crazy Ex Girlfriend is the exception to the CW rule though
I would say most of the AHS seasons. I don't need to watch them again. Some of them are pretty disturbing like the Hotel season.

you have a point.And I love horror but once I've seen an AHS season, I don't need or want to see them again, although I can rewatch Coven and Cult was amazing, no desire to rewatch the others.

So does the question mean shows you would never do a re-watch of? Or shows that you wouldn't even watch a single episode of again?
 
Lost. Someone who loved the show told me to watch it all the way through, and that it was worth seeing the whole lot. I watched the pilot and despised it.

I stuck with it though, and I can say I will never watch a single episode again. A massive waste of my time, went absolutely nowhere, and just served as an example of terrible storytelling and hollow characters. More effort was put into advertising the show than making it anything close to cohesive.

The title described the show well.
90210 (the reboot) - I started rewatching recently (damn nostalgia!) and stopped in the middle of s1 and I honestly don't know how I watched 5 seasons of this when I was in middle school

And on that note Melrose Place the reboot😉

More that you wouldn't re-watch. Sometimes you get tempted to watch an episode and for exemple I wouldn't re-watch all of Charmed but if there's nothing better on TV I might watch one for fun!
