Shows that never should have lasted so long

Quote:

Adverb: ER should have been canceled years ago.

Everybody says this, but I can’t figure out why.

Every season has had its strong points, there’s not really much I can think of in the way of tired storylines.

The death of Lucy Knight and Carter’s drug addiction probably falls into your “years ago” remark, and I think that’s when the show got its second wind after being weak in seasons 4 and 5.

Go figure we disagree, but I think the show is still great. I never really got down on it in the first place, but this season is particularly good.

Sienfeld never stopped being funny so lets not go there.

And yes every incarnation of L&O is fucking predictable as hell and dull as ditch water.

As for shite that should have never made it to air:

Pefect Strangers
Family Matters!!!
Full House
Drew carrey
Step by Step
Rhoda
Macguyver
Happy Days
Andromeda
Enterprise
Voyager
The Sopranos
Arliss
Murder, She Wrote
Diagnosis Murder

Step off the Macguyver, yo.

putting the Sopranos on a list with Full House doesn’t do much for your credibility.

The Sopranos never should have made it to air?

Somebody’s off their medication…

The Simpsons will always be one of the greatest TV shows ever, if not THE greatest. But I think it’s safe to say the show has outstayed its welcome now. The quality started deteriorating around season 8. Unfortunately it’s still making a ton of cash for the people involved, and nobody has the heart to pull the plug.

Friends
Family Matters
Home Improvement
Dharma & Greg
Drew Carey Show

For whatever reason though almost every show you have listed here did really good. I can watch about 3 seconds of Full House and wonder why anyone would possibly sit through it every week but enough people did that the show lasted like 9 years. When the only goal is making money any show that holds its own for 9 years is very deserving of being on the air.

And Perfect Strangers kicked ass.

COPS should be on forever.

The rest I can understand, but Balki and Tony? Why?

If you say so.

Looks like we need to take Zod out back.

The show is vastly OVERRATED.

Sorry, kiddies, but this show does nothing for me. I hate anything that sympathizes with sleaze like Tony Soprano. Besides, its just boring as hell.

Money and longevity equals quality? Interesting theory.

I didn’t claim they were quality, I just said that if enough people like them to keep those shows around that long they deserve to be on the air. Go watch PBS or Food Network if you are looking for quality.
