Regarding the above comments on Bone and The Mentalist...are there any shows that you still watch, or stopped watching, that you feel have run their course?
I am starting to feel this way about MODERN FAMILY. It is a wonderful show, but this season just doesn't seem "right" somehow. Maybe it is because the kids in the cast are growing up, and they don't seem as funny as they once were? And some comedy just seems to be a bit forced.
I watch "Warehouse 13", but last season's finale was very Artie-centric, and the first episode this season tried to resolve it. Artie is a good character, but he's not sufficiently interesting in large doses as he trends to be abrasive.
Then there is "Grimm". I know it's harsh, but I'm really quite tired of Juliet, girlfriend of the Grimm. And this season has worn me down with the will she-won't she remember him well enough to remember she loved him and wanted to marry him. I really like most of the other supporting characters. The writers didn't do Juliet any favors, though, and there seems to be very little, if any, chemistry between the actress and leading man David Giuntoli.
I've also cut way, way back on "Criminal Minds", watching only if there is nothing else to grab my interest. My reason is this season's maddeningly graphic violence as they establish the crime the BAU is going to investigate. I can stand most of the actors (I miss Page Brewster), but Kirsten Vangsness gets on my last nerve and the patter between her character and Shemar Moore (and his calling her "Baby Girl" all the Time) really invites my sneers.
