After the newest additition to an already terrible game series, it would have to be the blood orgy known as the Resident Evil series. There hasn't been a good game in the series in a loong time. The last good game in the series was Resident Evil 3, which was published way back in 2000.
Mario. Sonic. Final Fantasy. Any game series with more than 3 major titles under it's belt really (I'm going to allow Half-Life to continue at least until episode three though. The episodic content will bring the core story up to three full games).
None, hatred is the Path to the Dark Side and every game has it's place... okay fine, except for cheap Mini Game Collections for the Wii. Damn, now I've fallen next thing you know I'll be slaughtering innocent casual gamers and declaring myself Dark Lord of the Hard Core... it's tragic really but sadly my creator doesn't have the writing skills to really flesh out my story.
Final Fantasy. Since when has this series ever been good? Also we're approaching #XIII. Jesus christ! I seriously hope I'm not alive when Final Fantasy MMMDCXLII comes out. Also, if there is a Final Fantasy MMMDCXLII, then that means Square-Enix either has way too many developers or their developers are practically immortal and bored as shit to make that many fucking games.
No one has mentioned the Wii Sports/Play/Music/Fit series, which is quite surprising, though they aren't my pick.
For at least some series, you can argue that an overhaul is needed more than an execution. Longrunning series that have made efforts in the past to mix things up (e.g. Need for Speed, Call of Duty) can be defended by arguing that an overhaul is better than the guillotine. But if a series is story-based (like Halo or Gears of War), it should continue for only as long as the story continues. Otherwise, you're just pandering to the fans.
But if I had to axe a franchise, it might be Gran Turismo, for its sheer denial of the fact that there is a popular, accessible racing sim out there (Forza Motorsport) that has better game design. Maybe GT5 can change my mind, but it's too early to tell.

These topics. Oh come on, there's so many of them, they might as well be a more frequent EA Sports series.
Anyway, with the frequency of these, I should probably just have my time paradox on copy/paste.
EDIT: Since I don't want to come off as a moany bugger, Sonic/Mario.
