I don't, actually, watch many shows at all regularly - I'm pretty limited to Who and and Torchwood and SGA, although the recent past suggests that mainlining ten years of SG-1 lies in the foreseeable future.
To stop watching Who? I supposed it would take scripts that entirely lost the idea of who the Doctor is, at core, which seems fairly unlikely.
To stop watching SGA? While the current spoilers make me sad, there are so -many- characters I really love on that show that I'm not sure I'd -stop- watching it unless they ALL went poof, suddenly.
I almost DID stop watching Torchwood after Cyberwoman, I was that irritated with the actor playing Ianto, and felt the whole ep was just overblown, and the series hadn't quite built up enough momentum for me to shrug off an ep I didn't really care for. Glad I went back, though, and again, it's because I like all of the characters.
To extrapolate? I think it would take a complete distaste for where they took a large number of characters, or a complete shift in the cast, or maybe a complete shift in the series focus that took it away from what I enjoyed about it in the first place, but it's pretty hypothetical. :)
