I did watch 1 and 2, and a part of 3. At that point I realized I simply wasn't Suzumiya Haruhi's target audience. It's one of those hit-and-miss shows that creates both rabid fanboys and people that turn away in disgust. I'm afraid I belong to the latter group.
Then again, that doesn't mean it's a bad show - some shows just have the tendency to generate mixed reactions. All shows that are truly original and experimental seem to have that aspect.
For example, I loved the original To Heart and would easily place it at the very top among dating sim conversions, but I'm well aware of the hit-and-miss nature of that show. But kudos to the creators for coming up something different from the usual harem show.
