What TV series do you think have run there course?

[FinalDream]

I like Stargate Universe a lot. Its a nice change of pace to the usual Stargate formula. At times Atlantis could be either brilliant or very mediocre.

I would like to put a big +1 to British soap opera's (Eastenders, Corrie and whatnot) these shows are horrible, just horrible, and make any of the above seem like the most amazing television you will ever see in your life!

Not only can they not decide, when they want to pursue something new, they just drop the old plotline without fixing any of the loose ends.

I'm ashamed of following that show so religiously.

Oh wait, I've got a funny story:

I was watching the first season DVD when I came to the episode "Deus Ex Machina". I had the stereo turned up and-BOOM, that whole dream sequence with Boone happened. I promptly tucked my head in between the couch cushions and gave birth to a huge turd baby. Scarred me for life.

By the way, did you see the new episode?

 

[Spoonius]

Neighbours.

/thread.

 

[dragonslayer32]

scrubs. it started with JD, it should finish with JD!

 

[Yureina]

All of them. TV should cease to exist.

More seriously, i'm going to go with South Park on this.

 

[Dags90]

Does anyone else hate how the earlier physics explanations of the weirdness of Lost have pretty much been swept under the rug as "magic".

 

[Not-here-anymore]

I'd say that if you don't like where a series if going, you should just stop watching, but then season 9 of scrubs came out. I didn't like it. If they'd just called it 'med school' or something, I would have been fine, but they had to pretend it was the same series... And yet, because it claimed to be scrubs, I felt obliged somehow to watch it. So simply not watching the new stuff is harder to do than you'd think...

P.S. I know Lost is coming to an end, and I've stuck with it through all the shit of seasons 3 and 4, but that most recent episode, the 3rd last one ever, was almost enough to make me stop watching.

Spoiler: Click to view me venting my rage...

New plot point: Magic cave of light that's never been seen before.
Jacob and the man in black (who really doesn't have a name, btw) were actually just normal people, who for no real reason whatsoever, can't kill each other. Oh, and they're twins. And Jacob's immortality still makes no sense. I had hoped that the whole thing might make some sense at the end, or be explained in such a way that a lot would be left to the viewers' imaginations. But instead we've got some half-assed hybrid, where the writers have decided that if it makes sense at all, they're the only ones who know how. But they're not going to tell us. /rant

I'd say Family Guy. I used to LOVE that show, but goddam, the recent episodes have just been...inexcusable.

Also, and I KNOW I'm going to get flammed for this....Futurama. Now now, I know that it was canceled after 4 seasons, and those 4 seasons were great, but I just think that after the movies, a fifth season seems a bit unnecessary. I feel like they just seemed to cover everything they needed to cover in those 4 seasons. I didn't want it to begin to suffer from simpsons-syndrome, where it goes from comic gold to comic mediocrity.

 

[Angryman101]

Family guy, one tree hill, secret life of the american teenager, the superman one, jersey boys, but Family Guy most of all. God, that show has gotten so unbelievably smug and terribly and unfunny. Should have stayed canceled.

 

[miscelaneous]

The Scrubs spin-off. They give a great series-finale and then there is... that. Family Guy, South Park (I never really found alot of it funny, and I hate thise generation of kids that worship it), The Cleveland Show.

 

[cormacdffy]

The Simpsons and Family Guy. I want Family Guy to end the most,though, because The Simpsons still has its moments of hilarity wheras Family Guy just isn't funny at all anymore.

 

[Pariah87]

Supernatural. I'd rather see a series I love go out at a somewhat dissapointing final point, than wrap everything up then try and come back for a 6th series. Should have stopped at 5, and sorted everything in the finale instead of a let down episode which could have been awesome.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Scrubs, it should have ended after the first season.

By the way, did you see the new episode?

No I didn't, I'm not just saying it, I really did stop when that idiotic clicking black cloud first showed up, that's when I realized the writers were high.

 

[Tagball]

No I didn't, I'm not just saying it, I really did stop when that idiotic clicking black cloud first showed up, that's when I realized the writers were high.

Oh...I see. I thought we could've discussed the shitness of last episode....together.

You see, most people say "Yo 'dis dumbass poo show is crap! It's wack!(Not actually what people really say)" They then continue to proceed watching the show, just like nothing happened.

Wow, the show must've really pissed you off to get you to stop watching during the second season.

The show was always sci-fi. Before the last season, in fact, a lot of it FIT. Of course, this season ruined everything.

The show wasn't ALWAYS sci-fi. It was just buttass weird in the first season and evolved into a series of questionable genre.

Seriously, I REALLY used to like it. I was in love with every character on the show(kidding).
Three and a half hours isn't going to fix the vegetable-like state the love of my life is in....

In the first four episodes, we were greeted with coming back from the dead, being healed of your paralysis from a plane crash, a polar bear, and an unseen monster, as well as somebody seeing into the "eye" of the island. A rock. It was buttass weird but because it just focused on establishing character archetypes in the most shallow way possible, people didn't recognize that it was sci-fi.

 

[CoverYourHead]

Glee. Seriously, that show needs to go the way of Ol' Yeller.

And Family Guy, not funny or offensive anymore, just boring.
