Horrible yet uncanceled - Shows that Just. Don't. Stop.

Did... Did Supernatural ever end? That shit was and remains one of my guilty pleasures but Jesus Christ it went off the rails.

4 episodes left. We're at the point where the son of Lucifer is suppose to kill God and his sister. The whole premise of the show originally was that Sam and Dean were supposed to fight each other - I guess like Cain and Abel - to save everything. Not sure how they're going to reconcile that.

I still maintain freak of the weeks should stay that way instead of trying to make some sweeping epic over arching storyline. Same mistake killed X Files and Hannibal too.

Whose Line is it Anyway? (U.S.) is a zombie. I was like a preteen when the original American version aired, and I loved the first few seasons but got bored. A couple of years ago I torrented the whole U.S. series from seasons 1-7 and binged it multiple times. Here's what I think:

Season 1 was very rough around the edges and had a lot of duds.
Season 2-4: "the golden era", especially episodes with Brad Sherwood as the 4th seat.
Season 5: kinda dull, and relying too much on lame humor and forced celebrity cameos like David Hasselhoff and Florence Henderson.
Season 6: Dull.
Season 7: Made entirely from scrapped jokes from previous episodes, cobbled together into "new" but unfunny episodes.

Then in like 2012 or 2013, the show got resurrected on the CW and HOLY SHIT is it lame. Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, and Ryan Styles are old as fuck and just lacking the energy they used to have. Like I said, a few of the early seasons were lightning in a bottle, and they've never been able to quite replicate it again. Ever since it slowly died and got resurrected on the CW it just became so lifeless and and unimaginative. Plus I liked how a lot of the old jokes were meta and circled around Drew Carey for being fat and gullible, so without him as a host it doesn't have its charm.

That's a real shame. Of course- Ryan and Colin had a lot more spark and energy when they'd take part in British Whose Line. I agree without Drew it's not the same. He was always good at poking fun at himself.

Have you ever watched Drew Carey's Green Screen show? They tried to do a half-ass clone of WLIIA after it ended the first time, and it was just awful. They recycled a lot of the same material and shtick, but threw in these unfunny cheap animations over everything.

No, I haven't. I lost interest by then. I like Drew Carey, but stick to hosting game shows, please. Drew. :D

I feel like they want to end it, but their solo stuff isn't panning out as well as they hoped.

NCIS. It went down hill when Ziva left. But not only is the original show still going, but it has three spin-offs. At least NCIS:NO was decent.
