SM2---I'm very similar. I stopped watching series TV on the networks when shows began to use a serialized storyline, trying to hook viewers into watching every single episode. It used to be sitcoms and even many dramas were episodic. If you watched one, and then didn't see the next three, but tuned it after that, you could still enjoy it. Now everything is like an ongoing "soap opera," and I can't and won't get into it. Miss one, and you're forever lost and confused.
I stick with History Channel, TLC, Food, HGTV, PBS, plus TCM and other movie channels. I watch when I feel like it, and do other things when I don't.
Consequently, you can mention just about every network series that's been on in the past 10-20 years, and I haven't seen it. No joke. It's easier to list what I HAVE seen, which isn't much.
