What television shows lasted longer then they should have? EDIT or never should have been on.

[debm55]

Hogans Heroes--never could watch--laugh at prisoners in a Nazi camp. Holy shit.My uncle was a downed pilot in WWII and served in one. Funny no.

[Bev54]

1. The Apprentice

[debm55]

2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA That is so right.

[gibraltar72]

27. Happy Days,hence term jumping the shark.

[debm55]

32. Agree, long before that it had become the Fonzie show.

[gopiscrap]

35. I was going t say that, but you beat me to it...

so I said :My Mother the Car" the other one would be "Dancing With the Stars"

[3catwoman3]

52. Thread winner!

[Demovictory9]

79. I am ashamed to say..that was a show i watched until Trump questioned Obsmas birth cert

[Bev54]

81. I never saw it and would like to say I would never have watched it. I was overseas when it

was popular so it wasn't on my radar and never watched when I returned. I have always thought of Trump as a fool, since I saw him on some show probably in the 90's but being a Canadian, I knew who he was but not much about him.

[Demovictory9]

85. When i wstched i (and other aoprentice fans) trily thpught he was self made billionaire

Yeah he was a jerk but he truly had business skills. Didnt know he inherited $600 million and skipped out on bills.

He would never be prez if tv hadnt given him a forum to build rep as successful biz man

[BobTheSubgenius]

129. He IS a business genius!

He took $600,000,000 and turned it into a fortune....by the skin of his teeth, admittedly, and with vast fraud, corruption, and outright theft, but still...

[Different Drummer]

136. Have to agree with that.

[Harold Shea]

3. M.A.S.H.

"War Bad".

Yeah, we get it.

[debm55]

6. Yes, do you think there was a turning point were it should have ended. I didn't like the ending. I always watched

M.A.S.H but I think it could have been better. I really don't know--how do you end a show based on war?

[Harold Shea]

8. IMO, you do a wrap up something like the final episode.

Just don't take 15 years to get there.

After a while it got to "lather, rinse, repeat" stage.

[debm55]

16. I get you. Thanks

[debm55]

23. Thank you

[Shermann]

70. Yeah that show went on longer than the actual Korean War nt

[debm55]

98. Yes it did. It was more hard edge in the beginning and mellowed out toward the end.

[Paladin]

71. +1000. The movie was way better than the TV series. (nt)

[debm55]

72. I thought the movie was darker.

[Glorfindel]

102. The book was better

than the movie or the TV show. Funnier, for sure, but also darker.

[Different Drummer]

137. I read the book.

I agree it was better than the TV show or movie.

[hlthe2b]

76. Nah, great cast and as comforting as a chocolate chip cookie--fresh out of the oven

Thus, I've probably seen every episode a dozen times.

Some episodes were better than others, certainly, but nope--on my all-time favorite list. I still want to clone Alan Alda...

[mucifer]

112. Yeah, when Hot Lips got a Farrah haircut (it's supposed to be the 1950s) it was a clear sign

[debm55]

115. And didn't Margaret (Hot Lips) become softer and had a brief affair with Hawk Eye--though they were under fire? I

missed the other chemistry the two had on a more professional level as opposed to the romance. JMO

[Archae]

172. After MASH

It was just plain crap.

[Disaffected]

174. I watched part of one episode and it was painful.

Poor Col Potter looked equally pained by the insipid plot and script.

[TygrBright]

4. Twin Peaks, alas... the first 7 episodes were nearly perfect, but as soon as "Bob" showed up...

...it became clear they had no idea how to keep up the momentum.

regretfully,
Bright

[rsdsharp]

5. My Mother the Car.

Thirty episodes too many.

[debm55]

17. I never watched it seemed silly and I was a kid. TY

[PJMcK]

36. Agreed

I was going to post the same show! It was awful.

[gopiscrap]

37. OMG I said that with out seeing your post

There ran that stupid show in Germany with German subtitles even as a kid I thought it was dumber than shit

[Different Drummer]

149. Jerry Van Dyke could have been Gilligan...

[brush]

7. Ridiculousness. It's still on and has been for years. I have no idea why. Who watches that?

[debm55]

9. What show are you referring to? I am confused. Sorry.

[brush]

39. That's my point. It's so obscure that many don't even know of its existence but it's been on for 17 seasons.

Ridiculousness (TV series) - Wikipedia

Ridiculousness is an American comedy clip show that features viral videos of failed stunts and pranks. Hosted by Rob Dyrdek and co-hosted by Sterling "Steelo" Brim, the series is produced by Rob Dyrdek's production company and MTV Entertainment Studios. The series has 35 seasons and 1,300 episodes as of 2021.

No. of seasons: 35
No. of episodes: 1,268 (list of episodes)

Original release: August 29, 2011 –, present
Original network: MTV

[debm55]

43. I never heard of it, Never watched MTV either

[brush]

47. It's high on the cable channel dial with the History Channel, A&E and others.

It's easy to miss or keep searching pass. I do watch the History Channel at times though.

[debm55]

49. History Channel I used to watch. We call it the Hitler Channel now, as that is all they show.

[brush]

50. They do show a lot of WWll footage. That footage does show that Hitler, like trump...

thought he knew more than the generals. His dumb decision to stop his tanks at Dunkirk let the British army escape and get back to Britian. He could've ended Britain's war effort right there and avoid the two-front war into Russia where he made more dumb mistakes.

But back to the History Channel. I like series on "The Foods that Made America" (Kraft, Post, Kellogg, Hersey, Mars, McDonalds, Col. Sanders and others), and the ones on the giants of industry like Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Ford, Morgan, Tesla, Edison and other.

Entertaining and educational.

[debm55]

51. Thank you , brush. The last we watched it was mostly about Hitler. I didn't know they had other shows on. I will check

check it out.

[doc03]

92. The History Channel is very little Hitler or history today. Now it is Pawn Stars,

Pickers, UFOs, Forged in Fire and Ancient Aliens.

[debm55]

99. I have heard of those shows, what do they have to do with history?

[doc03]

103. Well people bring old stuff to the Pawn Shop, on Ancient Aliens they talk about

pyramids and stuff, you could call that history I guess.

[doc03]

111. Survivor and Big Brother nt

[debm55]

169. Agree.

[Bristlecone]

157. I agree. My boys used to watch it

I have no idea how. It ran/runs back to back for hours. Followed by the magician, hidden camera show - which is in the same bucket imo.

[JT45242]

10. Virtually every reality tv show ever taht involve no talent or skills beyond manipulating others.Never should have aired

Survivor, Big Brother, The Bachelor, The Apprentice, Jersey SHore, Real World and so many more clones of these crap. They all celebrate the lowest aspects of human society and in large part led to TFG resurgence after being the butt of jokes for over a decade about bankrupting a casino.

I would contrast those with reality type shows that require some skill or talent like Great British Baking Show, Project RUnway, or Top Chef.

[Harold Shea]

12. "Reality" shows are popular because they're cheap to produce

when compared to something like "Friends" or "Blue Bloods". The costs of ensemble casts start to add up quickly.

[DBoon]

14. "cheap to produce" equals non-union, btw

[Harold Shea]

25. Well, yeah.

You get a bunch of people volunteering to be on TV, other than the production staff you're not gonna have much union representation.

[debm55]

13. The producer for the Apprentice is also the producer for Survivor. Big Trump backer.

[debm55]

15. I have have never watched any reality shows, except for one--the Amazing Race. I like how they show the cultures of

different countries.

[Harold Shea]

11. Supernatural.

Started watching season 1 and saw how many seasons there were with it still in production and said "Nope".

I'm a Tim Omundson fan, but I'm not going to invest in 17 seasons of a show.

[no_hypocrisy]

18. Friends

Hands down

[debm55]

170. Never watched it. SNL

20. Keeping Up with the Kardashians

I would like to clarify that I have never watched this series and I never will.


How in the world does something like this get aired for 20 years? Yikes.

[debm55]

21. I agree on both counts. Why are people interested in them?

[yellowdogintexas]

22. I spent years wondering "Who are the Kardashians and why am I supposed to care"

I can't believe that garbage has been around for 20 years

[debm55]

24. Agree.

[ificandream]

28. I agree with you, though I this week read the Atlantic cover story on Kim and was surprised how good it was.

It revealed her to be a very smart person, much smarter than I ever figured. That said, I'd still never watch their reality show.

[lastlib]

86. But she's married to that Kanye guy--how smart can she be??

Another show that sucks IQ points out of your head through your eyeballs...........

[yellowdogintexas]

173. I think they are divorced now and he has remarried? If I saw it it was on Yahoo Front Page nt

[Different Drummer]

138. They are famous for being famous.

[debm55]

141. That's about it. TY

[P.C.L.D.]

31. That show was on for 20 years!

[Upthevibe]

44. Niagara..........

They are horrific.

This and all other reality shows (except some of the talent shows).........

[Lunabell]

26. Three's Company.

Stupid. Misogynist and homophobic.

[debm55]

33. Totally agree.

[Shermann]

82. You never want to see how the sausage is made

...but the show itself as presented was very lightheaded and cherished the male and female roommates alike and their platonic friendships.

[ificandream]

29. The Rush Limbaugh Show.

'nuff said.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. Mission Impossible

There have been 3 renditions I think.

The original 60s version, the first year was a bust. Then Peter Graves joined the cast. Seasons 2 and 3 were the entire concept. Season 4 saw departure of Martin Landau and his wife Barbara Bain due to contract issues. Greg Morris was in all of those seasons and some in the 80s I think. But Season 4 began beauty queen actresses, and budget cuts as the show was sold. Never regained form.

[gopiscrap]

34. "My Mother the Car'

[GreenWave]

38. Worst of foreign ones:

Sábado Sensacional. They had the audience singing to laundry detergent commercials, etc. WTH???

[PJMcK]

40. Lost

It never paid off any of the mysteries. Then, at the end, the whole thing turns out to be a dream and everyone is already dead.

Dumb.

41. Husband watched some of it and stopped watching. TY

[Demovictory9]

80. So many mysteries..smoke monster, the numbers, bunkers, and it was all nonsense

42. "Green Acres' and 'Petticoat Junction'...

Some of the dumbest drivel ever to air, and now inexplicably rerunning, on broadcast tv.

[debm55]

45. I was a kid when then came out, so yes I watched. Would I watch now--NO.

"Green Acres" runs on weeknights while "Petticoat Junction" is on before most people get up on Saturday mornings

ETA: About the only episode of "Green Acres" that I liked was the pilot episode which John Daly of What's My Line? narrated.

[Emile]

46. Grey's Anatomy

Price is Right

[debm55]

48. totally agree with both. I will also add my favorite show E.R. , After the main characters left the show should have

been pulled. It was my must watch Thursday show. I did not see the last three years of it. It was a pain to watch the actors and follow the storyline.

[hlthe2b]

63. I definitely agree with Grey's Anatomy...uggh.

As to any and all "reality" or "game shows" (none of which I have ever watched more than a promo or limited video posted elsewhere)-- I don't watch them for a reason. Some people like them. They can all go away as far as I am concerned.

[debm55]

74. I'm having a sad. I like The Amazing Race. Only reality show or game show that I watch.

[hlthe2b]

75. Well, I've never seen it. There's always an exception even though I'm not fond of the genre.

[LisaM]

116. I have a friend on TAR now!

Chelsea.

I have never watched it, though.

[debm55]

120. I watched it last night. Is she the girl with her dad? I will have to look it up.

[LisaM]

134. No, she's with her childhood friend.

They are from Washington State.

[debm55]

135. Got it . Thank you

[Ocelot II]

53. Friends and Seinfeld - never understood why these were popular shows.

Most of the characters were obnoxious and tiresome. The Big Bang Theory was funny at first but went downhill after the first two or three seasons. Once the main characters got girlfriends it wasn't funny any more because one of the premises was that they were all too nerdy and weird to have girlfriends. The writing was pretty clever during the early seasons, though.

[debm55]

59. Never watched Friends. Did watch Seinfeld all the way through. The ending was terrible.

[JohnQFunk]

113. I actually loved the ending. Those twerps FINALLY got what they deserved.

But that's just me (channeling my inner Newman, I guess).

[debm55]

126. HAHAHHAHAHHAH NEWMAN!!!!!

[rurallib]

54. This one won't be popular Big Bang Theory

Somewhere @ season 7 or 8 it morphed from still newish show to a poor copy of the husband/wife sitcoms that were the bane of early TV. Still haven't seen much of anything passed season 8.

I think I remember reading that in Britain they have a 5 season limit. That is about as long as they feel they can keep material fresh. Here in the US we milk it til the milk is so rotten -------

[debm55]

56. Yes. When the guys got girlfriends, a wife. it went downhill. BUT I stayed with it until the end.

[Ocelot II]

65. I agree. It was funny for the first few seasons, but like so many sitcoms

they ran out of material. The main characters were smart but nerdy and socially awkward, and their fruitless efforts to be less nerdy and attract girlfriends were a major aspect of the humor. Once they actually got girlfriends the show lost a major source of its cleverness and turned into another conventional ensemble sitcom like Friends and Seinfeld, which IMO sucked from the beginning.

[rurallib]

67. The total number of Friends and Seinfeld episodes I have watched

still hovers at 0. I have tried to watch them but to me they just aren't funny.

[Ocelot II]

68. I watched a few episodes of each to find out what the big deal was,

and never did figure it out. Didn't think either was very funny; Friends was especially dumb.

[debm55]

73. Didn't see one single episode of Friends.

[Mr.Bill]

87. It's a well written show with a lot of very funny lines,

but I absolutely cringe at the characters.

[Xavier Breath]

105. Nah, by prefacing a cutoff at season seven or eight

you will get some support. It was a funny show from the get-go, but once Amy and Sheldon's relationship became physical and deeper, it lost its edge, IMHO. Had they ended at eight seasons I would have been happy. As it was, they dragged it out too long, and the ending was anti-climactic. It just...ended. The show began because Penny moved in, so I would have argued that it should end because she and Leonard move out. As it was, everyone was just left in limbo, presumably living in the apartment building where they met until they die of old age, I guess.

[rurallib]

108. I think it was the classic case of milking every last nickel

they could possibly get out of the show.

[debm55]

118. Nothing was mentioned about Raj. After watching for all those years I still don't know what happened to him. That

Last edited Fri Nov 17, 2023, 12:12 AM - Edit history (1)

pissed me off.

[Xavier Breath]

124. They had the perfect opportunity to close Raj's story

by marrying him off to the girl he dated at the end.

I had the ending all planned out:

- The Nobel award ceremony would be the end as it was, but make it a year down the road
- Everyone reunites to witness the award ceremony
- Raj and his gf are married and have moved to the UK (or somewhere far away from CA)
- Penny and Leonard have moved back east because Penny got a big promotion in NYC or Leonard was offered a great job at Princeton
- Amy and Sheldon have bought a home somewhere.

The last thing we see is Amy and Sheldon back at the apartment, taking one last look around the apartment as they leave for the final time. They leave and walk down the stairs. As they do, the elevator door miraculously opens, the elevator having been fixed at long last. A couple of 20-something young ladies get off the elevator. Both are dressed like nerds, and it's made apparent through dialogue that one young lady is a Black, female Sheldon, and we are left to wonder what adventures they might have. End scene.

Thanks for reading my TBBT fan fiction

[debm55]

125. I wish it would have ended that way. My husband has his PhD in Chemical Engineering. He is a self admitted nerd. I felt

really sorry for Raj. I could identify with him. Got to go and change the spelling. Loved his little yorkie too.

[hibbing]

55. Shameless

I enjoyed it a lot, but could have ended a few years earlier.
Peace

[debm55]

57. Thank you.

[hlthe2b]

77. I'd have to agree. In the end it was more often cringe-worthy, rather than "edgy."

[AllaN01Bear]

58. space 1999.

first season good , esp pilot , second season with that gawd horrible music. should have been terminated there and then.

69. Small Wonder

[Shermann]

78. The Walking Dead

11 seasons? Really? (in Negan voice)

The show accomplished something amazing in the early seasons. It took the absurd, overplayed idea of a zombie apocalypse and made it real. Atlanta became hell on Earth, and the slow burn was riveting. There was direction to the show as the group picked up and moved from location to location. There were hints at an origin story, and the cast was phenomenal.

But the group eventually settled in at Alexandria and it became somewhat of a soap opera of contrived lather-rinse-repeat plotlines. There was a revolving door of "big bads" each season which became less interesting. Popular characters like Rick and Michonne left while annoying characters like Maggie and Ezekiel endured.

The flagging series received hospice care at the convoluted Commonwealth. The promise of an origin story was reneged on and a proper, satisfying ending never came. Instead, we were baited with multiple spin-offs (shows that never should have been on).

I'm out.

[doc03]

94. I watched The Walking Dead for years, after Negan killed

Glenn and Abraham, I lost all interest. I never cared much for Rick and especially his son Karl.

[Shermann]

96. You didn't like Kaaaaaaaarl??

He was annoying, but at least they killed him off.

Glenn was a great character. They fake killed him once and then killed him for reals.

Gabriel was annoying too. He stuck it out until the end.

Darrel is great but I can't see having a whole new series around him.

[doc03]

97. I think Negan was the best character in the entire series. He is the ultimate

bad guy you love to hate. To watch him kill two of my favorites was all I could take.

[lastlib]

83. We haven't come up with "Honey Boo-Boo" yet??

for God-awful stoopid, it HAS to be the undisputed champion. I would rank it right beside (maybe ahead of) the movie "Zardoz" for awful. That show was just an abomination!

[OldBaldy1701E]

84. Anything that is supposed to be a 'reality show'.

[gay texan]

88. "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd"

Crazy like a fox

Manimal

Mann and Machine

Hollywood Nights

[debm55]

100. I would add Two and a Half Men--terrible and sexist.

[Xavier Breath]

127. I actually watched the first three on your list.

I think I liked Crazy Like a Fox because I had a crush on Penny Peyser. Manimal was on Friday nights along with the show about the talking chimp, Mr. Smith. I don't think either of those two made it to Christmas.

[debm55]

128. Thank you for list

[rurallib]

89. One that is interesting is "the Simpsons"

for ten years it was really good. Then, IMHO, it got kind of crappy and we quit watching.
I've watched a couple of recent episodes and the writing seems to be much better.

Are the Simpsons worth watching again?

95. John Banner agreed to portray Sgt Schultz..

as a middle finger to actual Nazis, who were responsible for him losing family members in the war.. Thus, my avatar.

The premise for the show was absurd.

[debm55]

101. Thank you. I always wandered about your avatar. I didn;t know the back story. Thank you for sharing that information

with us.

[JohnQFunk]

110. The four actors who played the key Nazi characters...

Werner Klemperer, John Banner, Leon Astin (Gen. Burkhalter), and Howard Caine (Maj. Hochstetter) - were all Jewish. So was the head writer, Bernard Fein, as was his writing partner, Al Ruddy, who created the show - and would go on to produce Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece "The Godfather".

[debm55]

119. Thank you for the information. But I still did not watch as my I describe my uncle"s ordeal in a camp for military

people and the fact that my Great Grandparents were Jewish. JMO I know that they played them as clowns, but it is hard for me to justify.

[Enter stage left]

104. Any and every show with Rosanne Barr in it.

[debm55]

121. Agree, I hated her first show--loudmouth, asshole in that one too.

[RainCaster]

106. America's Got Talent, The Voice, The Mask

All those piss poor attempts at the talent show format. Every one of them. That includes those dancing shows, too.

[debm55]

130. Agree and thank you.

[Different Drummer]

144. I stopped watching "The Masked Singer" a few weeks ago.

The singer who was unmasked in the last episode I watched was somebody who is on a show Bravo airs. Bravo could totally disappear from the TV landscape and I would never know since I never watch it. Besides that, I never recognize any of the music on TMS.

[debm55]

107. Two and One Half Men stunk from the beginning.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

161. I have decided that anything with Chuck Loore's name on it is awful

Starting with Roseanne and continuing to today. It's usually people sniping at each other.

[BlueKota]

109. Okay I really enjoyed seasons 2 through 6 of Once Upon a Time

but after season 6, 3 of the main cast members contracts came to an end and they decided not to renew. The network and the Executive Producers, however, decided to try and milk at least a couple more seasons out of it.

They wrote four of the remaining main cast members into some alternate universe that made no sense and had huge plot holes, and contradictions with the canon storylines from the previous seasons even though the EPs kept trying to pathetically deny it. It was badly written, the majority of the new cast members were C grade performers who couldn't act to save their lives, and their poor performances stuck out like sore thumbs when they were paired with three of the very talented previous seasons' cast. It completely bombed. The ratings were horrible, t.v. critics who previously loved the show panned it, it's score on Rotten Tomatoes was well really rotten. A lot of former fans trashed it as well except for a few who hero worshiped one of the 2 remaining actresses, who didn't want to admit making her the star of the reboot was another huge mistake.

I only watched because one of the male actors who stayed had become my favorite television actor, but even a handsome and talented performer like him couldn’t save that crappy mess. He wasn't even playing his original character. It got canceled after only 10 episodes.

They just should have wrapped at the end of season 6. I dabble as a creative writer and have been a devoted fiction reader and watcher since I first learned to read and started watching t.v. I can't stand when a show or a book that I really enjoyed up to a certain point doesn't end in a way that satisfies me, so sometimes I write fan fiction alternative endings and post them on fan fiction sites. You can bet your bippy I wrote season 7 out of the picture in my version. 🤣

[debm55]

156. Good for you in your fan fiction.

114. My List

I'm surprised no one mentioned some of these....

Lost In Space
Oh god! As a SciFi starved teenager I prayed for a good SciFi series. THIS was not it. How often I wished the Robinson's would all just push Dr. Smith out the airlock.

Thunderbirds
Or anything by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Holy Crap, what garbage!

Big Sky
Do the bad guys EVER actually die? I didn't make it though the first season.

La Brea
Lame....just lame.

Star Trek
I hate to have to say this but the original Star Trek was pretty bad. Some occasional episodes were good but the majority were really cheesy. The characters were great but the writers for this show were clueless about SciFi. Later versions got better as well as the movie versions.

Blue Bloods
Victims Parents "Please find the killer of my Son.
Danny "Right, we'll get around to it. Can't you see how busy we are?

A cop gets injured in the line of duty by a hit and run driver.....

[Different Drummer]

147. Warning! Possibly unpopular opinion incoming.

I think Frasier went on longer than it should have. I always thought it should have ended when Niles and Daphne finally got together, but it went on beyond that and I lost interest.

Another show that I personally felt aired longer than it should have was the original Hawaii Five-0 (imo, the reboot--and, in fact, all reboots--should have never seen the light of day). I thought the first ten seasons of Hawaii Five-0 were fine, but Kam Fong (Chin Ho Kelly) left at the end of the tenth season and the show continued for two seasons after that and those last two seasons went downhill. I guess it was a case of CBS, like all networks, not wanting to give up on a show that had been a hit and keeping it on past its sell by date.

148. I only watched Frasier twice. Frasier and Niles were snobs. The only redeeming were the old man and the dog. I agree

with you

[Different Drummer]

150. To be fair...

one of the funniest sitcom episodes I ever saw was [Dinner Party on Frasier.

152. Thank you but I only though the dog and father were interesting

to them both

[OAITW r.2.0]

151. As the World Turns.

My grandmother loved that show. And I'm 70 for reference.

154. Do you remember when Carol Burnett had a take off on that. I think it was called As the Stomach Turns . It was so funny

153. The McLean Stevenson Show

A show nobody asked for…

155. He left MASH for that? I don't even remember the show.

[Bristlecone]

158. Trapper John, MD - Also a poor decision

And also a show that nobody asked for.

[debm55]

163. Agree

[LudwigPastorius]

160. The thing is, that wasn't the worst show McLean Stevenson starred in.

This was:

164. Looking at the opening it sure seems like it. Still can;t believe he left MASH for those loser shows.

[Midwestern Democrat]

167. It was ego. He thought he could be the headliner star in his own show rather than a supporting cast member.

Wayne Rogers left for basically the same reason - he thought the series was going to be like the movie with him and Alan Alda being equal leads (as Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould had been in the film), but it pretty quickly became "The Alan Alda Show".

[debm55]

168. What ever became of Wayne Rogers? Was he on any other shows?

[duckworth969]

166. Yikes!

[Raftergirl]

165. Grey's Anatomy. Will be its 20th season when its starts up again,

I gave up on it after season 5 because it just got too stupid. Just jump the shark too may times.Can’t imagine what ridiculous storylines they must be doing now.

Most shows don’t know when to quit and just go from bad to worst until they are finally canceled

.

171. I gave up after season 1. All the teachers would talk about it at lunch. Especially--McDreamy or whatever they called
