TV shows that have run their course...

[Silent Bob]

The Simpsons. They're getting to the point where there'll be more of the shite than the classics. Disgraceful.

 

[Trigger]

Tales of the Unexpected

 

[Garage_Doors]

Who want t be a millionaire

 

[Evil Edna]

Wife Swap

 

[NF9]

The Simpsons. They're getting to the point where there'll be more of the shite than the classics. Disgraceful.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Location, Location, Location - the market's f***ed.

 

[foul old ron]

...and leaving you wondering "who on earth is still watching this?!"

I'll start with the somehow-still-commissioned:

The Weakest Link.

Seriously? Who still sets the Sky+ for this one?

No one is taken in by Anne Robinson's RUBBISH put downs anymore, the prize money is LAUGHABLE considering the amount of tension they try to generate, so how is this still on?

More examples please.

The guy I share a house with watches it every single frigging day!

Couldn't agree less. The comedy writing of Homer is far better now than it was in any of the first 12 or so seasons.

 

[Norman Potting]

"Ashes to Ashes" - Enjoyable but overshadowed by its illustrious predecessor "LOM". Should have would up the loose ends at the end of the second series, mind you I will still be glued to the screen when the third series starts next year!

That's one of the biggest contradictions I've ever seen

 

[NF9]

Countdown.

Are you crazy? It long ago became witless shite, it's actually depressing to watch now.

Sorry to say this but......

.....Top...... Gear

they seem to be running out of ideas I'm afraid... it needs a mega overhaul.. it just feels a bit stale, like it's stayed exactly the same for a few too many years...

The early episodes were badly drawn and boring, generally shoe-horning in some "Family Values" moral to the story.

It has clearly taken the lead from (the now superior) Family Guy and become much less fussed about boring things like plot, and concentrates more on pure comedy.

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Millionaire, Big Brother

Entirely agree.....

That has got to be a wind up.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Do they actually still make Last of the Summer Wine?

I briefly glimpsed a few seconds of it the other day, complete with cringeworthy canned laughter (do viewers seriously think there's an audience there when the old gits are wheeling their colostomy bags up some Yorkshire dale in the middle of nowhere?) but wasn't sure if it was still in production or a repeat.

It appeared to have Russ Abbott in it I honestly can't think of ANYONE who watches it.

The EARLY episodes were, as in season one, but after that it was fine. Who cares how its drawn anyway? Following that, the whole beauty was that they did have semi-believable plots with subtle adult and political humour as well as stupid stuff for kids. Now its only a level above Tom and Jerry.

 

[Simster]

Who wants to be a millionaire. Does anyone like the piggy eyed TWAT?
Big Brother. Always was utter wank.
All of those shite house makeover programmes.
Either one of Holby or Casualty. Both called BR in our household because in all honesty, do we really need two versions of the poor man's ER?

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Simpsons is shit now. Fact.
