TV shows that have gone on for way to long

Then why do you missuse the term? I mean Scrubs isn't a yuppieish show, at all, the characters aren't yuppie none of the jokes are yuppieish. There is literally nothing about the show that would make it any more appealing to yuppie than any other show on TV.Ratties said:
This is even ignoring that yuppies haven't even been a thing in twenty years.
Glee.
Star Trek almost always went past 4 seasons. The only one that I could have done without was Enterprise. The Original, TNG, DS9 and Voyager are keepers.

You are not looking at the show through my eyes. Of course you are going to see things differently. You know people have different meanings when it comes to certain words. A good example is the word hipster. Really wouldn't be all that difficult to get several different meanings on what people think it is. Eventually you will run into that one person that actually knows the text book definition of it.Axolotl said:
Gonna go with Spongebob. It's depressing that all the iconic Nick shows like Rugrats, Hey, Arnold, and Catdog were overtaken by it. I mean it's not bad but it's practically all they show now. That and...
Fairly Oddparents. It's jumped at least three sharks now (fairy baby, terrible live action movie, and now a fairy dog?). Where can you go from there?

MAD is 10 times better than SNL could ever hope to be.V da Mighty Taco said:
Oh. And my vote goes to Law and Order SVU. The later seasons are starting to feel a little ridiculous.
Whether it is better than SNL or not is irrelevant; it's still Annoying Orange levels of bad imho. (I haven't watched SNL in years, so I don't know how it is these days)Shadowstar38 said:MAD is 10 times better than SNL could ever hope to be.V da Mighty Taco said:

Gotta agree on Law and Order SVU, however I'd probably extend that to cop-dramas in general. There's only so many times you can run the same plotlines before they get simply boring.
way too much supernatural hate here and while i agree the show has been on the decline for the last few season i do not think it's because of the "time to stop another apocalypse" reasoning.
buffy also had a 1-2 apocalypse per season rule and still managed to keep the show feeling relatively fresh throughout it whole run (more or less), it done so by having characters develop and not repeating the whole schtick of "dean's in trouble i'll sacrifice myself for lub"

For reals. My wife watches one every day, unfortunately our computer is near the TV so I have to listen to the bullshit stories against my will. She gets mad at me because I can tell her everything that is happening or going to happen just because it is so predictable even if I am playing a game I can follow the story....Edguy said:
I can't stand the singing shows, I mean it is great that some people can find a career in music that they never would have had a chance to do before the shows. But seriously work your way into the industry through hard work and practice not going on a show and becoming a star right away. Earn it.
I agree with you to some extent. But in Buffy it was a powerfull Deamon, or a hell god. buffy had so many things that could destroy the world. But in supernatural the list of things that could have finished the world off for good was small. Gods were happy with the way things were. most deamons were happy to just go around screwing a few people over until they were sent back to hell. S4 and 5 had the big daddy. It was not an apocalypse it was THE apocalypse with the Devil himself. You just cannot beat that.lechat said:
I was overly harsh in my original post. I still enjoy Castiel and Crowley, and while I don't seem to enjoy them as much, Sam and Dean are still fun I just think that the storylines are getting tired.
And Bobby is gone. The show is just not the same without him calling everyone an iget.
Don't blame him for the confusion though, The Simpsons in recent years has been heavily mimicking Family Guy.TakerFoxx said:
OT:
HIMYM - hope next season is the last, the last couple of seasons have been almost entirely filler and nowhere near the quality of the older ones, I just watch it to find out who the mother is now.
Supernatural - I still like this show but the last season was utterly pointless, Sam does all this shit and then last minute all of it was for nothing, c'mon.
Smallville, to be honest I think Season 8-9-10 were actually the best but it just took too long for it to get good.
Reality TV (with a few exceptions that, in my opinion aren't too bad), and anything by Seth McFarlane... despite what some people think of the latter.
Glee will have at least six seasons. Holy fuckballs, it should've ended in Season 2.
To clarify: Remember how heartbroken we all were over Sandy Hook? Where children died?
Glee uses that in a school shooting episode to make people watch it. And it gets WORSE from there.

Woah woah woah woah there!Edguy said:
Are you saying they should cancel Emmerdale Farm? Or Coronation Street? Eastenders!?
They are the only things that keep my family off my back during the week. If they got cancelled then I would have to answer their questions such as: "Where's my rent?" "Did you dent the car?" "Why haven't you moved out yet?". When the soaps are on all I hear is, "Shut up!" "What? Talk to me later." They are a blessing.
Plus... they are addictive and I watch them myself when I have time.
If any TV show has gone on too long then I say The X-Factor.
I'll concur with the guy who brought up The Office US. Seasons 2 and 3 were pretty great, 4 was good, but crippled by the writers' strike, and 5 was pretty good as well. I started having doubts part way through season 6, when they did an episode about Dunder Mifflin going bankrupt. I'm sorry, but no matter how much forced mugging Steve Carell did, people losing jobs just isn't funny to me. Also, the show's rigid adherence to status quo annoyed me to no end. *Why* did Jim have to get busted back down to salesman? *Why* did Ryan have to be the temp again? No real reason. I stopped watching a few episodes into season 7, and haven't looked back.
Naruto (both the original and Shippuden).
The best anime series normally don't go past 24 episodes--two seasons. The original Naruto series went to 240 episodes.
The 315th episode of Shippuden just got added to Crunchyroll.
You can't expect anyone but fans or people who started watching from the beginning to watch all of that, not to mention the diminishing quantity.
Bleach has the same problem. There's over 350 episodes of Bleach on Crunchyroll.
