Breaking up is easy to do

[rivkat]

I've been thinking a bit about breaking up with shows, in part because I'm still mentally storyboarding a Future Ex-Girlfriend vid ("I don't care that you're a model" = that one lens-flare shot with Dean leaning on the car; "no one cares that you love Keanu" = Peter and Sylar throwing down Matrix-style; etc.), and in part because, though I haven't been fannish about Heroes since S1, I deleted the series from my DVR mid-episode this week after two successive scenes with stalker/rapist plots where it was clear that the show didn't even understand that one of those was a stalker-rapist plot, and I'm not so sure about the other. I should've known better, but residual affection for Hiro and Claire kept me going.

So what shows did you break up with, and when?  Defined any way you like, though my default would be "stopped watching."  Meaning that I never did break up with the X-Files; I just buried it.  Or, suggest shots for the vid, if you like.  Lyrics here.
