The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: "Endless Eight" episodes.

Eight of the 28 episodes of the series are each mostly the same as the other seven, with slight differences, until the time loop is broken in the eighth episode. Thankfully, the repetitive episodes came in the second season.

They aired one after the other, in their regular weekly timeslot, so I can only imagine how frustrated viewers were as it first aired, wondering why this episode is pretty much the same as the last, and the one before that...

That sounds like a giant waste of time for the viewer.

It is, but it is insane that they actually made it like that. Think about if something similar would come out today. Imagine watching it weekly, most people would stop watching after 3 episodes. The rage on the internet, it would be hilarious.
