Shows YOU feel shouldn't have lasted as long as they did
 

Not to say that they were COMPLETELY bad (My list has some of my favorite shows), but, they just overstayed their welcome.

1) The Cosby Show (I loved the majority of the show, but when cousin Pam and Olivia came, it jumped the shark)

2) The Simpsons (They're redoing the same plots from previous seasons, they've run out of ideas, and are using the show to make political statements. Make the movie and end it already)

3) Married With Children (Should've ended before Seven came)

4) Trashy Talk Shows like Springer (The novelty is done, the fighting is boring. Only Maury rules because paternity tests are always funny)

5) Friends (Sorry, just never got the appeal)

The X-Files - It was much better when it was episodic opposed to over-cooked conspiracy theories and govenment intrigue. It's off but should have gone sooner.

Agreed. I was a huge fan, but stopped watching after season 4 because it got weird and stupid.

Good choices...

Law and Order is the world's greatest drama but with all the spin offs its just getting out of control. I don't even watch the new ones, just watch re-runs on TNT.

Full House when Jessie married Rebecca. Do you really think they would opt to live in an attic over getting their own house?

I'd say it's when they brought MORE twins to the show, not immediately after the marriage that involved a parachute and a tomato truck.

I'm going to add 2 of my own.

Beverly Hills 90210

Melrose Place.

I used to watch 90210, but when they went off to college it just started getting ridiculous.

I hated Melrose Place. It was so stupid and I never understood the appeal.

I love this show but it just went on too long...

Saved By The Bell...after they went to college it was stupid. And what were they thinking with that New Class crap...what a waste of airtime.

What are you talking about? Much like Rocky V, those two shows never happened ;)

Beverly Hills 90210
Full House
ER (Can someone please take this show off the air? It's soooo bad now!)

Ally McBeal (just didn't like it)
Smallville (ok guys, either figure it out and make it normal or get rid of it)

ER has gone too far - it's WAY over the edge now, not even enjoyable anymore.

The Simpsons still rule. Friends should have ended a season sooner than it did, when they originally planned to end it.

I HATED Suddenly Susan and Caroline in the City and never understood how they lasted as long as they did.

Also, I agree with you guys: Ally McBeal, 90210 and Melrose Place all jumped the shark way before they were taken off the air.

All those shows that ties in to another show. Like 90210 all of its offsprings.

NYPD Blue

Family Matters (when Laura started falling in love with Steve, it was just bad. then they had to bring in a new Harriet. STUPID!! the show just got really awful)


Dawson's Creek ( i thank God that i never got sucked into this show. i thought it was so corny)
