How can you diss COPS?!?!?

I’ll admit, I do enjoy Cops. But it never should have lasted this long. Then again, it is on Fox…

Now I have to say that I like the new seasons better than the old. The show still has a few years in it.

ER
The X-Files
Dawson’s Creek
The Practice
Boston Public
Frasier
ER
Everybody Loves Raymond

And Law & Order is getting pretty long in the tooth…

BLASPHEMER!!!

No actually you are right. Retire that one. THe new L&O’s are good but even those could be gotten rid of over the next few years.

Growing Pains

Family Ties

L.A. Law

Seinfeld

Regarding Law & Order: the original is becoming a little tired, but both SUV and CI are making me happy lately. I think the two spin-offs have improved greatly since their inception (even though CI is fairly recent).

I detect a theme here…

…and three seasons of Jackass was juuuuust right.

These are still some of the best shows on TV. You would need to find aome good replacements if you got rid of them.

Well, ER could easily be replaced by “Doc”, starring country music sensation Billy Ray Cyrus.

Billy Ray Cyrus owns network TV! There is not a finer actor to be found.

For this, you die. It’s still one of the greatest shows on television.

I certainly hope you’re not refering to Boston Public or Everybody Loves Raymond.

Boston Public is a guilty pleasure of mine, although it has become so over the top in the last couple years (much like The Practice) that I’m starting to lose interest.

Raymond still makes me chuckle and there isn’t anything better on in that time slot.

Sure, it’s pretty good this year. But you have to admit, for a few years there it really needed to be axed.

The fact that there isn’t anything better in the timeslot isn’t exactly a glowing reason to keep this tired show going.

ER should have been canceled years ago.

And I will clarify: I meant that the original L&O should be shitcanned. SVU and CI are fairly fresh, if a little low on the teenage angst and vampires for my liking…

I know what good television is. And since September, i’ve watched 2 episodes of ER a day EVERY morning.

Obviously, the 2nd season was the best, but even when it lagged a bit (the 4th, 5th, and 6th seasons) it was STILL damn good quality television. I don’t think it ever jumped the shark…EVER.

Now, I DO want it to be cancelled/mutually ended at the end of the 10th season. I feel that’s a good number to go out on, and i’d heard rumors of Wyle leaving after the 10th. To me, the show begins and ends with him, and if he leaves it’ll be worthless.

So it definitely shouldn’t last past next season.
