If you must hate all TV shows just cause you don't like a couple of specific ones, you are going to miss a lot of good stuff.

With the same reasoning I could say I hate the entire movie industry because I saw once this movie called "Coffee and Cigarettes" and it was boring as hell. So no more movies for me, ever!

Now on a more serious note I could argue the exact same opposite that you do when you say that all stories could be told in two hours. I find that movies are way too short to really tell a story and the deeper and more complex the story the more impossible it is to wrap it up in 2 hours sometimes in 90 minutes only. This format works for some movies like comedies or horror movies but if they made The Lord of the Rings in two hours it would feel to me like a long trailer, a summary and nothing more.

TV shows are a much better format to tell a complex story. Granted some shows have some unnecessary fillers but that is due to a bad production and it's not a flaw inherent to the format. A good story in which you love the characters and the plot will feel too short even after a full season. For example I love Family Guy and I think you said you do to so would you be happy if Family guy was a two hours movie and NOTHING ELSE? No more Family guy after that? No episodes, no characters development, no seeing Stewie change over time from evil little kid to a kinder smart mouth? So clearly TV shows over movies any day for me.
