Major Anthony Nelson. I couldn't understand how in the early days he rejected her and to top it off, she was a Jeannie. I admit it, it upset me.

Yeah, JR would have jumped on that right after she got off the bus.

Didja know: In the last season of DALLAS Barbara Eden portrayed a billionaire out for revenge against JR and in her final episode she says that her maiden was Lee Ann Nelson. This was a production gag in reference to their I Dream of Jeannie days.

The original DALLAS: The cliche answer is the revelation that Bobby's death was all a dream but in reality that was an interesting season (though it felt way too much like DYNASTY for everyone) and the season after was one of the stronger seasons. No, the thing that killed the momentum of the show was when some of the leads starting leaving and Larry Hagman/Len Katzman started turning it into a comedy show. The writing of JR was putrid but could've been redeemed based on rumors I heard. (They weren't sure if the show was coming back the next season but there were rumors that if it did JR would finish up on top and they'd call it a wrap) Either way, the dumbing down and jokey nature of the last 3 or so seasons was wretched for longtime fans to watch.

I thought it was great the way they brought Bobby back, and I had renewed interest because of it, but it waned quickly after the Bobby return season. For many of the reasons you stated I stopped watching around 1989.

The change in Ross's personality in Friends around season 6 or so. He just went nuts and became a cartoon.

Justified - I never really cared for Ava. Found her annoying through most of the show.

Psych - Any season finale after the Yin/Yang saga.

Parks and Rec -

I have seen every episode of this series, many of them more than once. I never thought Aziz Ansari was that funny. Most of the time he annoyed me. It's not the character, I think the character is great. The snake juice/club ownership/entertainment720, all that stuff was fine, it wasn't the story or angles, it was just his acting. I just don't think he's very good, honestly. The rest of the cast is remarkable, though. I like Jean-Ralphio more than Tom.

Breaking Bad -

I don't know if this was intended or not, but Skyler White was, in my humble opinion, never ever ever a likable character throughout the series run. If that was the shows intent, then that's one thing, but the fact that Walter never uses "getting away from my B-word ball and chain" as a motive for his illegal activities, in fact often times referencing quite the opposite, led me to believe that she was intended to be a somewhat sympathetic victim. She was caustic, cold, frigid, and just all around "meh" in all aspects (to me, just my opinion). I feel like the show would have been better off with her being a warm, salt of the earth, girl scout type who slowly becomes somewhat absorbed by her husbands madness/fall from grace. I guess, in general, I found very little of a redeeming aspect to her character.

I thought she ruled in the last season.

I was trying to find something i didn't like for The Wire but nothing comes up. Maybe some other OSers can find one.

I could name something, but it's massive spoiler so I will refrain.

I don't think girl scout type would have worked. She had a "side" to her as well. The girl scout type could not have pulled off the dupe she did for her once former boss when he had IRS problems. And her ability to stand up to Walt when she really needed to required a pretty assertive woman.

I think the statute of limitations on that series is over.

Re: Something About One Of Your Favorite TV Shows That You Didn't Like

When I used to watch Scrubs all the time, I always struggled to accept Dr. Cox's character. I understand John C. McGinley is a very respected actor and to some, he made that show, but I found his role to be over-acted to the point of being corny. I understand his role was not to be quirky like Turk & J.D. but I felt it was overkill and disruptive, by and large.

In the American version of The Office, I had a real problem with Andy's sudden maturation as they attempted to shoehorn him in as "Michael Scott 2" in later seasons. He went from a yodeling Ivy League bro-dude to lovable boss overnight. I'm sure people here could go on & on about issues they had with later season episodes, but that one was near the top for me.

Speaking of The Office - Kelly.

Rhonda's relationships with both McNulty and Lt. Daniels weren't all that screen time hoggin', but they were the slowest parts of The Wire.

Rawls' scene in a

bar, was the show trying to be too clever or just too lazy to expand on it.

She had some good moments in the last season ( and throughout the series) but for the most part I just wanted her screen time to be less and less.

How they made Jesse go nuts near the end of Breaking Bad. I didn't enjoy any of his scenes once that happened.
