Shows that have overstayed their welcome - Why won't they end?

[The Nothingness]

This thread covers any show that is still going when it seems obvious the writers have ran out of ideas and/or networks won't end these shows because they still bring in money.

Two shows I can think off the top of my head are The Simpsons and SpongeBob SquarePants.

*Edit* Another one I'll add is Red vs. Blue.

Is Family Guy still on the air or am I just stuck in the mid 2000's?

Is Big Bang Theory still on? I feel like it's a show that overstayed its welcome the first time it aired.

 

[Electric Eye]

Law and Order

Also, while it's not still on the air, Sons of Anarchy should have ended after Season 3.

Hi mr. enter

Walking Dead is over, right? Nobody really cares about a show that hasn't been good since season one, right?

The new episodes aren't all that bad. I don't watch The Simpsons anymore, is it still on tv?

 

[The Nothingness]

Law and Order

SVU is the only show of that series remaining, which is probably the one you are referring to.

Yes, it is.

The last episode rehashed another earlier Zombie episode (The one where Kent Brockman tries to get his reputation back).

Supernatural. It just keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on and on...

Fairly Odd Parents. I think Butch Hartman is just trying to do anything to tank the series at this point.

Wait, wait, wait.

That show is still airing? wtf

Mr. Robot. Boy, did that burn out fast.

Yeah, to my shock it still is too.

They've introduced some fairy dog and a new neighbor girl in the series, because adding the mpreg baby wasn't enough to kill the series yet.

 

[GentlemanFaggot]

Mr. Robot. Boy, did that burn out fast.

No kidding. I liked most of the first season, despite cringing at the ANONYMOOSE IS LEEJUN outdated shit and I don't think the twist was pulled off as well as the movie it was clearly inspired from. But holy fuck, Season 2 just drained everything out of it.

 

[Trombonista]

Survivor and Dancing with the Stars, but they're so cheap they'll probably still be around in 2030.

 

[AnOminous]

Steven Universe.

 

[Ruin]

Nobody mentioned The Simpsons yet?

 

[Rap Scallion]

Hell's Kitchen and most Gordon Ramsay shows. None of them bring anything new to the table anymore and the past few seasons of HK haven't brought in anyone you can really get attached to, in my opinion. The F Word was fun back when it aired. Or ludicrous episodes of (US) Kitchen Nightmares/Hotel Hell like Amy's Baking Company.

I love Gordon but damn, dude, change up the format on something.

I agree. At most that show is "a smart shoe fro dumb people". It needs to be cancelled. It's unfunny, repetitive, and bland.
