Soaps
I used to watch soaps when I was a kid.
Then I realised how completely pointless and boring they are. The same storylines are constantly recycled for new characters. If a character stays in a soap for too long then they are guarenteed to fall in love, cheat or be cheated on, break up, rinse, repeat.*
It's actually possible to watch soaps from 5.30pm until 9pm on a Monday and it truly boggles the mind. In a world where awesome Sci-fi like Firefly and dark fantasy like Moonlight can be cancelled in a heartbeat. Shows that have great stories and interesting, evolving characters and for some reason the networks would rather air shows that have the same story over and over again with characters that are wooden and disposable.
*It occurs to me that this might be why they're called "Soaps"
