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

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.
Another of these police procedurals that went to shit after a main cast member left was Criminal Minds, which just wasn't worth it any more without Hotcher, apparently because Thomas Gibson had some physical altercation with a producer.

To be fair, it had been sliding since even the very first season. The first three seasons with Mandy Patinkin were always the best.
He is not a stoner.
Nobody who wasn't a stoner would cut a beanie into that goofy ass crown thing. Apparently that whole show was by a dude who literally shipped himself with Archie or some shit.
 
Most of the BBC's long-running shows need to die. Permanently.
  • They've fucked up Doctor Who consistently ever since getting rid of Capaldi
  • They've fucked up QI ever since forcing out its fag host for a Swedish dyke
  • Zombie Top Gear manages to hit new lows with every passing year
  • No-one really cares about soap operas anymore
  • I thought they cancelled Panorama and Horizon DECADES ago, and yet they're still going
  • We were cursed with our own version of Drag Race, which ran on BBC Three back when it was online-only
 
Robot Chicken: shocked it has any audience left, thought they would have all out grown it or got bored that most of the jokes are just the same lazy shit

Pokemon: I get Pokemon is still popular, but at this point thought they would have rebooted the show with a new character. Was shocked to find out the show also has an adult fan base which is beyond crazy to me.

Real Time with Bill Maher : It's been on air for nearly 20 years and has over 605 episodes. How have people not got sick of hearing of takes on topics at this point even if you like or agree with him.

All the Walking Dead spin off: Finally ended the main series after dragging it out for all it's worth but have 3+ spins off and a movie still planned. Just let it dead, most people who used to watch it moved on before it was even close to done.

The Real Housewives: going off the wiki, it has had "11 installments in the United States and 20 international installments" with "The American franchise has led to 23 spin-offs; the most successful of these, Vanderpump Rules, has itself had a number of spin-offs.". I get there is an audience for trash reality TV show but this amount of it is beyond belief, you would think NBCUniversal would start to feel bad bring this amount of shit into the world.

Big Brother: I get why people watched it when it started as nothing like it before and they went hard branding it as a social experiment but should be beyond clear at this point it has no value at all and is extremely boring show to watch,

Deadliest Catch: Over 250 episodes of crab fishing, I get there more to it than that but this show really shouldn't have went on more than 20 episodes.

Walking Dead is one I'm always surprised to see is still airing.
 
Spongebob Squarepants: Shocked that kids still care for Spongebob. I remember being a kid in 2007 thinking Spongebob has lost it's comedic edge and heart. I don't want to know what kind of shit they are spewing out now.

The Amazing Race: The show was a novelty when it first came out and it only started to pick itself up to high gear on it's third season. The places and activities were the best part of the show and it started to get more dull as time went by. I think 2013 or 2014 was the last time the show was ever interesting or fun to watch. But who watches it now?

Late night with Steven Colbert: I'm struggling to find anyone under the age of 35 that cares enough about Steven Colbert. At first he was a parody of something that didn't even exist at that time (a conservative comedian), Now he is a glorified news anchor with lame jokes that will put your grandma to sleep.

South Park: It now feels like Trey and Matt sold their souls to the devil awhile ago and they are a husk of their former selves and this is now reflected in the writing of the show. The two have failed to branch out and moved on. It seems like paramount only has the show to keep the lights on.

These two are not shows but they are made to be just like shows so I don't care.

Marvel Cinematic Universe: It. Just. Wont. Die. No. Matter. How. Forcefully. It. Feels. Dragged. Out.

The Fast and the Furious: I thought turning the street racing franchise into a secret agent thriller was the most retarded move.
Paul Walker is dead and they keep pumping these out like if it wasn't originally his movie franchise.

IMO Pokemon the anime should've done what Pokemon Special did and bring in new protagonists for each region. Not just refresh the supporting cast every now and then. But I haven't watched the show since the Johto days so there you go.
 
How the fuck is One Piece still going after 1000 episodes? I’m not much for anime but most of the ones I like only have about 30 or so episodes, and all the ones with hundreds get mocked for having too much filler, but One Piece seems to get a pass. It looks pretty goofy and stupid from what I’ve seen as well.

Obligatory The Simpsons mention. Show should have been axed over two decades ago

I remember watching a bit of XYZ and feeling hollow, it just feels like the same thing over and over again but with slightly different characters and regions. :(

NCIS went downhill very early on when they killed off Kate. Also the endless Dinozzo/Ziva drama desperately needed to fucking die a slow, horrible death.

The show ironically enough picked up for a couple of seasons when Ziva left and was replaced with Bishop but now that basically the entire OG cast is gone except for McGee, they need to end it already.
 
Star Trek was really intelligent when it first premiered but since 2009, the franchise has gotten really retarded thanks to shitty writers who know nothing about the show's core philosophy and only care about putting identity politics into it. The franchise should've just ended before 2009.
 
The Simpsons: Free Space obviously.

The Daily Show: Even for Leftwingers, it's a zombie show to them after all their talent left for their own shows.

South Park: What really annoys me are South Park fans still eating this slop. Season 20 was when the quality dropped so much the show became indefensible. Even when I agree, the show has this Old Man Yelling at Cloud energy to their jokes. For all their shitting on Seth McFarlane, they are in an even worse position than he is. Musicals are more of a niche genre and they didn't complete their transition over to this industry.

Family Guy: I really get this sense that Fuzzy Door studios are locked in this indefinite contract with NPCs to make more episodes. It doesn't matter the quality or interest or even coherence; just keep pumping out 22 minutes of content so that they can get the funding to make what they really want to make. I rank them higher than South Park because The Orville is still running, but not by that much.

Disney Wars: I guess what annoys me is that most people are not looking towards the past EU and reevaluating its merits. Filoni strip mines the EU for flanderization purposes, but since most people are not aware of the pre-Disney EU, they don't have the contrast to perceive just how much of a hack he is. Sure I like it whenever EFAP laughs AT Disney Wars, but the shows themselves are such complete garbage that I have no interest in actually watching them.

Holy shit, it's still going? I thought it finished like 5 - 10 years ago.

Admittedly, it was alright when it started. The world always needs more stop-motion animators, and the idea of using toys/action figures was a novel one. Some of the early skits were quite memorable, like Mario and Luigi in Vice City for instance (which got reuploaded by Adult Swim yesterday, lmao).

I found out (allegedly) the show switched to digital animation after season 4, which probably would have been the ideal time to end it. Ratingraph is a godsend of a website as it shows you the exact point a show fell off:

The seasonal rot starts to appear with S5, and by S8 it's more pronounced. The last three seasons have been marked steps down from their immediate predecessor.
 
American Horror Story: I really did give this show a shot because on paper it should be for me as I love horror anthologies but the quality was just no there and finding it came from the guys who created Glee really did explain the awful tone the show has. Shocked to find out it has been going on for over 10 seasons and has spin off now.

Bel-air: a serious reboot of a light hearted comedy is something people want for some reason. Making Carlton a jock drug dealer really is all that needs to be said in order to cancel it.

I'm still wondering how Survivor is still going, even after over 40 seasons. Surely, even the most diehard fans would eventually reach burnout levels of watching the show, right?

And Jeopardy! doesn't feel the same, after Alex Trebek passed away.
I can think of one reason why Jeopardy has particularly sucked since Trebek's passing...

Oooh boy, I have a whole list of terrible shows that haven't been cancelled...

Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Late Late Show with James Corden - Kimmel and Corden were never funny, and they come across as a middle-age men trying hard to be hip and cool with the times, and starting in 2016, they try and fail to emulate Colbert's success by doing "le orange man bad" political satirical jokes and are still doing it to this day. Speaking of...

Late Show with Stephen Colbert - It started out okay until mid-2015 and even to this day when Colbert does his shitty "le orange man bad" jokes, and is more of a news anchor than an actual comedian. You know, I liked his precursor show, The Colbert Report, because at least it wasn't standoffish, egotistical or annoying compared to what Colbert has become in this day and age.

The Daily Show - By the time Jon Stewart left, Trevor Noah took over his spot and he's just painfully unfunny. The show is on complete life support.

The Walking Dead - Its first season was good. It's also on life support and AMC is still milking it for whatever it's worth.

American Horror Story - It used to be fun, but it got worse and worse almost half a decade ago.

The Blacklist - The show died by 2015 or so.

NCIS - After Ziva left, the show automatically died.

Star Trek - There hasn't been any good Star Trek since the 2000s. Stuff like Picard and Lower Decks are trying hard to keep the franchise alive.

SpongeBob - The first four seasons (yes, I liked the fourth season, don't @ me) and the first movie were fun. The fifth season was okay, but it's not as good. Starting with its 6th season, the show declined real fast and after creator Stephen Hillenburg's tragic death of ALS, the network still continues to milk it dry with the likes of more movies and unnecessary spinoffs.

Simpsons - It's very cliche to say that the Simpsons is still bad and it needs to end, but it still reigns true. The show has now been focused on shitty Lisa episodes. Even comparing the modern day episodes to the classic vintage 90s episodes feels uncanny to me.

Disenchantment - It just sucks. That's it.

Futurama - With a new revival coming out, it's just Groening riding coattails on all of his three shows. Plus, it's not gonna fly well in a modern day world where it's all woke and virtual signaling bullshit.

The Great North - It was unfunny then, and still unfunny now. It still baffles me that Bless thew Harts gets cancelled for just two seasons, yet The Great North is about to air its third season this Fall.

Bob's Burgers - It was fun up until 2015 when the show overstayed its welcome.

Rick & Morty - Used to be good, but by the midway point of season three, the show automatically died and I haven't seen an episode of it since then.

Robot Chicken - It overstayed its welcome by the early 2010s. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

South Park - It's Matt and Trey sperging out and lecturing audiences with their political beliefs. The show died after the 2000s.

Family Guy - I'd say it's better than either Rick & Morty, Robot Chicken, South Park, Bob's Burgers, Simpsons, or, at this rate, Futurama in this day-and-age, only because of the fact that The Orville is keeping both American Dad and even this show alive and well. Still, it's overstayed its welcome a few years ago, and that's due in large with its awful Trump episode. Ah well, I still prefer American Dad in this day and age.

Animaniacs (2020) - An awful reboot that feels as if it's trying to be edgy for either 13-to-16-year-old teenagers or 3-year-old babies and is very trendy. Just stick with the classic 90s.

Jeopardy! - After Trebek's tragic passing, the show was never the same.

NCIS took a major nosedive in quality once Donald Bellisario, original creator and showrunner, was forced to leave in between seasons four and five. I stuck with season five to see the last of Bellisario's plots wrapped up but gave up during season six or seven. It's mind boggling that the show is now nearing season 20.
