Oh I bailed on The Killing but that was just b/c it's not a show I can watch if the boys are up / might get up (during nap) and Jake had no interest. And I couldn't watch it while doing dishes b/c it is very visual. But I have to finish S2!! It was really good.
It's interesting how many people are saying both Grey's AND Gilmore Girls b/c I think of them as polar opposites. Gilmore Girls was never as dramatic as Grey's -- the pace of them are different -- etc. I don't think this means anything but it stands out to me.

Grey's Gilmore Girls (toward the end) Glee Kimmy Schmidt Lost Parks and Rec 30 Rock (this one I want to go back and finish though) Marvel's Agents of SHIELD The Mentalist NCIS: LA Hart of Dixie (though I might get back into this one if I can remember where I left off) Desperate Housewives
I'm sure there's a bunch of others if I go back far enough.

I think Scandal is the only show I purposefully quit. There are a few that I sort of just slowly stopped keeping up with and probably won't bother attempting a re-watch: Mad Men, Dexter, and True Blood.

Traffic, if you quit Parks & Rec in Season 1, go back and start w Season 2. The tone of the show changes a lot for the better -- much funnier, better developed characters, etc.
I can't seem to get into the West Wing. I mean, I think if I could I would totally love it, but I have to force myself to pay attention. I will try again though so I guess I haven't quit quit. Yet.
I struggled through Gilmore Girls last year and tried so hard to like it. I got to the part where Lorelei has a bass in the bathtub and I had to stop. So ridiculous.

I forgot about New Girl we totally bailed on that, and Mindy Project.
Don't push through Season 1, skip it. You know the premise! Just start Season 2. (of Parks & Rec) If you still don't like it that's fine too but the change is pretty big and great.
I'm usually one to just stick it out until the bitter end, but I have tried not to pick up anything new recently so I only have to deal with my old standbys.

I can't think of one. Even if the show sucks, I feel the need to keep watching until the end and finish what I started. I'm still watching Grey's, so that speaks volumes. And Big Brother. For the love of all things holy this season is killing me, but I keep watching and holding out hope.
Weeds - just stupid after the 3rd season Masters of Sex - it was getting kinda boring Mad Men - just got out of my rotation
I forgot about Masters of Sex. I gave up last season. I got so tired of every man falling all over Virginia and the ridiculous storyline between his wife and the maid's brother. But I did watch the first episode of season 3 and I am somewhat interested again.
I also gave up on Ray Donovan. I liked the show, but could not stay with it.
I gave up on Homeland after season 2.
I also gave up on The Leftovers after the 6 or 7th episode. I meant to finish the season but then my baby started STTN (I usually watched it late night when I was up with her) and I never bothered.

Grey's (stuck with it until this most recent season and just couldn't) Revenge--quit after season 2 Scandal--I have the most recent 5 episodes on my DVR and just can't bring myself to watch them The Wire--we quit after 2 episodes, but I am willing to try this one again
Traffic, if you quit Parks & Rec in Season 1, go back and start w Season 2. The tone of the show changes a lot for the better -- much funnier, better developed characters, etc.

Gilmore Girls - my friends were all crazy about it, and they have all the seasons, so I borrowed them and watched until season 3 or the start of season 4. I didn't even binge watch, just made my way slowly through, until I realized I was rolling my eyes constantly. So. Much. Talking. I gave up.
Glee - Didn't even make it through season 1
Bones. Criminal Minds, CSI, etc. - I liked the first couple seasons of each, and then it all just became the same thing on every show over and over.
