Scandal , The Mindy Project , and American Horror Story , we knew how to quit you.

There is only so much room on our DVRs and in our brains for television content. And every year, when new, addictive shows debut (hi, How to Get Away With Murder), we find ourselves cutting ties with other series that have lost their luster (bai, The Vampire Diaries). Below, the BuzzFeed Entertainment team shares the shows they've deleted from their DVRs and brains over the course of the past calendar year. But, to be clear, the views expressed beneath each show title are the sole opinions of the BuzzFeed staffer writing them, because, as we all know, one TV lover's trash is another TV lover's treasure.

You never really quit American Horror Story when each new season starts over from scratch — but Freak Show lost me a few episodes in. It started to seem less like the divine madness Ryan Murphy is capable of at his best and more of the "nope, no one has any idea where this is going and it doesn't matter" incoherence that's his most unfortunate tendency. Asylum was an amazing season, Coven was a crushing disappointment, and Freak Show started off with a bang (loved "Life on Mars"!). But then the premiere was followed by a group of episodes that were about nothing in particular. I'm not sure how a show can be so outrageous and so boring at once, but I'll come trudging back for next season. —Alison Willmore
