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

Family Guy will only get cancelled when Fox decides it has too because for all the fucked up shit is shown is likely Seth trying to get it cancelled because he has expressed disdain for working on it, and wants to focus on other projects.

And the Simpsons will only get cancelled when one of the four Simpson voice actors dies.
 
I'd like to elaborate for my fellow thread posters because they're mostly American on two prime cuts of dogshit in British culture. One has been mentioned before in the thread but these two are staples of british culture for decades and I feel the need to explain how deeply I loathe these two shows.
I present you filthy colonials another reason to hate us.

Eaststenders

Coronation street

The big two of british soaps. British soaps tend to be closer to reality than American soaps in the same sense that a Dobson is saner than a Chris chan, their's a dull grittyness which helps conceal how absurd the whole thing is. Both settings are an closly knit urban communities where the plot revolves around the daily lives of the (apparantly) working class inhabitants of Albert square and Coronation street and they proceed to cheat on each other, bitch at one another, betray one another, make clumsy attempts to mimic normal human behavoir. While never leaving the street or interacting with anyone outside of the group of scum who all hate each other.
The interlinking plot arcs boil down to three types
1)Someone is fucking someone they shouldnt
2)Someone is doing something bad, usually illigal
3)Someone really hates someone else in relation to 1 and 2

Eventually tensions between characters will reach critical mass, implode, their will be a horrible fallout, sort of dies down and then proceeds to happen again and again forever.
Both shows never really go anywhere the characters never really show any growth or depth. They're just static characters stuck some weird cockney/manc Hell on earth, where no one gets to feel any joy or hope.

This has been going on for at least 30 years on a weekly bases without fail around the time most british citizens are enjoying their Tea.

It's gets even weirder when you have stuff like the fact Eastenders always has a really intense grim storyline on Christmas day where someone dies or does something really fucked up

or that time an evil tram attacked coronation street......at Christmas

3-4 days a week for from at least the 80's.

The best part about moving out of my parents home is I havnt watched this show in years.

Corrie's been going on for a least 60 years at this point, but yeah, these shows certainly know how to keep themselves around long, though soap operates tend to do that (A lot of US soaps often started out on radio long before TV came around).

Yeah I used eastenders stats as my point of referance but good catch.

Holyoaks is shit as well.
 
Surprised but not really surprised no one has said Hell's Kitchen. It hasn't been good since season 6 and the chefs they get on it somehow are shittier people each year.

Isn’t that part of what makes it so fun to watch though? Watching shitty people fuck up in the kitchen?

Did someone had already mentionned Law & Order: Special Victims Unit? It's on the air almost as long as the original Law & Order series who wasn't the same after Jerry Orbach's death.

I wonder if the current incarnation of Degrassi with Degrassi: Next Generation and Degrassi Next Class could fit that category as well?
 
I wish I could still get the CBC in over the air so I could watch Corrie. I can't be arsed to look for streams, though

Everybody who said Supernatural or Modern Family will be getting their wish this season. Everybody who said American Dad needs to shut up.
American Dad is still the king

and holy shit Supernatural is still going on?

I used to watch that with my sister back when it first premiered.
