movies/tv Most disappointing show you’ve ever seen

[Megas 27,921]

Any TV show you were really interested in seeing only for it to turn out lame?

i remember being really excited seeing Avengers: United They Stand as a kid, I loved Captain America and Iron Man and really wanted to see them team up. Then the show came and so did my disappointment, upon seeing the show Star the b-list Avengers while Capt and Tony were reduced to cameos/guest appearances. Oh and they had Power Rangers transformations, so it was obvious it only existed to sell toys

Curious George, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.

Death Note was a show that started out incredibly strong, but rapidly became insanely convoluted and contrived. It had an excuse for everything involving the two oh so perfect main characters and it was riddled with the worst cliches that anime has to offer. I went from 'This is so intriguing' to 'this is total garbage' within 19 episodes and I gave up at that point. Needless to say, my disappointment was strong.

Total Drama All-Stars hands down.  As a longtime fan of the Total Drama franchise, myself and many, many others were greatly disappointed with All-Stars due to how it handled its plot lines, some of which being dropped unceremoniously, its rushed pacing, boring villain, a finale that ended on a sour note, as well as how it mistreated its characters.  But what really got to me was how it treated my favorite character from the show, Courtney.  She has had it pretty rough on how she gets portrayed in the series.  In Island and the first half of World Tour, and even for a good portion of All Stars she was allowed to be rather likable and a decent person.  However the episode Sundae Muddy Sundae made all of that meaningless and destroyed the Courtney and Gwen become friends again plot that had been pretty much the best part of the season.

Teen Titans Go!, of course.

 

I was hoping it would be like Batman: The Brave And The Bold... Instead, it turned out to be yet another lowest common denominator, not to mention a blatant Black Hole Sue for Cartoon Network.

Three words, Star Trek Voyager. The show had so much potential but it was pissed away. One of the biggest problems with the show is the magic reset button. At the end of an episode, the ship could be badly damaged/crippled and the next episode its back to brand new shape like nothing happened. Later in the series, they come across another Federation ship but its heavily damaged and most of the crew is dead. They had to fight and scrape by with almost nothing. That sounds more interesting than a ship with no consequences.

Teen Titans Go... That was a great disappointment to the history of CN.

I had the same thought. It’s the only Star Trek I won’t rewatch because it was just episode after episode, year after year, of being disappointed.

Yeah, I have no interest in revisiting the series. There are some good episodes but they are overshadowed by all the terrible ones *cough* Threshhold *cough*. The online reviewer sfdebris theorized that Janeway took a twisted pleasure in torturing her crew, especially Harry Kim.

Do movies count?

I remember being all hyped up for Jimmy Neutron, only for it to be an average movie.

[GeekySonic 1,150]

The 100. I was excited for it because I read and liked the books, and thought it made perfect sense to make it an episodic series instead of a movie. Then I watched the first episode. The whole time I kept thinking, "Slow tf down, slow tf down!" The entire plot of the first book wss squashed and congested into one episode, and it was a total fail. They couldn't force me to give a damn about any of the characters, it was all so rushed.

I'm more that way with Deep Space Nine, but I can agree that I think of Voyager that way as well. I'd have to skip the entire fourth season and most of the fifth season at least If I don't want to get so angry at Janeway's stupidity, double standards, and BULLYING (yes, BULLYING) that I'd likely assault my TV.

 

I have to say though, I was pretty disappointed with Star Trek Voyager when I watched it here a few months ago. The series actually started off okay I think but after a while Janeway began to frustrate me more and more, and everyone else became more and more of a generic trope (except for Seven and Tuvok, they actually stayed fairly fresh. Though in Seven's case it could have done with the fact she came in halfway through the show's run). Not to mention they abused the f*** out of the Holodeck. To the point that it felt like they used it whenever they ran out of ideas. They clearly didn't get the memo on how to use it to IMPROVE on the show as was done in Next Gen. Probably among the most disappointing things I've ever watched.

 

Though a better response from me would be the classic show hosted by the "Master" of Suspense, Alfred Hitchock. That is, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." For it being hosted by somebody who was SUPPOSED to know how to write a good story, there surely was a lack of quality control. Most of the stories felt deprived of anything aside from sheer boringness. The plots didn't make sense a surprisingly large fraction of the time, and there was just nothing interesting whatsoever. It was supposed to be a classic show, and it's supposedly revered by many as one of the greatest shows of its kind. But frankly, I'd much rather stick to The Twilight Zone or even Night Gallery.

Teen Titans Go and every other Cartoon Network reboot.

[Steve Piranha 29,453]

I hardly watch TV nowadays, so I don't have much to speak off. I think the closest I had for major disappointment that I can remember is Agents of SHIELD. I'm a major fan of it, and it's one of the best stuff the MCU has to offer, but suffered from a long rocky start of episodes that felt like unrelated plot of the day that felt like they weren't leading to anything interesting. It didn't help that the new cast of characters where rather bland when the revived Coulson was the selling point of the show. It was so bad that I lost interest and didn't come back until it's second season ended, and all because my brother kept watching it and told me things where shit was for real, namely Hydra's uprising, Grant Ward's betrayal, and revealing that Skye isn't actually a canon foreigner, but an obscure heroine in the comics from the start. When shit got real a bit over half the first seasons, the show made a huge 180 in every aspect

[Thorgir the Mighty 736]

All of Disney,CN,Nickelodeon.

The only good ones are

TAWOG

Regular Show

We Bare Bears

The rest is garbage,especially that Thundercats reboot

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

Gotham for one. Im all for DC shows instead of Marvel, but the trailer itself turned me away from it. DC keeps painting Batman and his villains as one dimensional characters, They are always broody, or dark like they just got out of an MCR concert that didnt play Helena. Last time i checked on the reviews, they didnt even know what direction to take the characters.

Teen Titans Go is another one. Loved the story telling and character arcs. The animation style was awesome, as it felt like the west and east collided. When it was cancelled i wanted to boycott CN. Then they announced Teen Titans Go! Only I heard about it by walking into Toys'r'us and seeing chibi Robin and chibi starfire. As soon as the turned the teen titans into Chibis it was evident it was either for 2 year olds, or chibis were the new in thing. Watched the show for 10 seconds and my heart broke.

Rick and Morty is the last one i'll mention. Yeah, first season was good. Then the second season came along with memes and guest stars who shouldnt even be stars, let alone lend their voices. The long wait between seasons is enough to put me off as its not that kind of show. Its not live action, nor is there an absence of help. Fact of the matter is the two main guys are lazy, and addicts which shows on their work.

Most television and movie reboots tend to fall way short of my expectations. Fuller House is one example and quite possibly "The Conners" which is gonna be a Roseanne reboot without Roseanne Barr herself. 

[Luigi 7,870]

The Zelda cartoon. It's not that they started the cartoon before Zelda really hit the charts with Ocarina of Time, but the fact that most of the show is Zelda playing hard to get and Link is always repeating that infamous line "Excuse Me, Princess!"

[Ziltoid the Omniscient 286]

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Never coukd get into it.

Also, I must be one of the few people in this world that legit likes TTG. :/

 

[Dan. 1,825]

@Ziltoid the Omniscient same here with TTG.  It's nothing like the original but when you're working on something it's good background noise

[DixonTheAdversary 1,634]

Fear The Walking Dead. I watched the first 2 seasons and nothing happened. The pace was too slow for my taste and the characters were forgettable. 

[KatonRyu 1,033]

Black Mirror. I'd heard a lot of good things about it so my girlfriend and I gave it a shot, and it turned out to be an incredibly anvilicious show constantly fellating itself with how clever it thinks it is. I honestly don't know why so many people seem to like it. Literally the one moment I liked was a short bit from the end of the second episode or so, where a guy who'd threatened to off himself on live television and who had been given his own show signed off on an episode of it by threatening to kill himself...and then smiling and saying, 'Have a good night.' Aside from that...nothing.

[Soren Peregrine 4,606]

You know what tv shows I used to watch a lot of as a kid? Those Lego shows. Did anybody else watch those? They were very disappointing to me. Do you know which one I thought could have been really good? There was one called 'Legends of Chima'. I was blown away by how much potential it had with the way the whole universe was set up, the characters, etc.

The only problem was that as a Lego show, the quality was not very good at all. The incredibly enormous amounts of slapstick humor and shallow plots ruined it, along with the merchandising with new toysets and everything. I can only imagine how good it could have been if it had been made into an anime or something along those lines. A highly advanced civilization of animal creatures of different tribes living in a fantastical world, with a singular source of power that is coveted by all of them. Can you imagine the possibilities?

Surface. It was going somewhere, then got a lil too weird and was killed off after a season ender cliffhanger.

[heavens-champion 1,905]

Planet Sheen. Sheen wasn't exactly the smartest character on Jimmy Neutron, but on Planet Sheen, he really suffers from a lack of intelligence and common sense. In fact, Nesmith, Dorkus, and maybe Aseefa were the only smart characters on the show. The show was so bad, it only lasted one season.
