TV shows that have run their course...

[Lady Whistledown]

Don't watch it myself but surely Heartbeat and all the various spin-offs have long since reached their sell-by date. It's been the Sixties there for about fifteen years.

Thinking about it, Sunday evening TV appears to have a number of candidates for the chop.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

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

They have just commissioned a new series to start in the Autmn. It is going to be called

Repossession Repossession Repossession

 

[SurreySeagulls]

ANY reality TV show. Absolute complete bollocks to start with let alone now.

 

[Normal Rob]

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...

Top Gear has been utter gash for at least 2 series - even my 10 year old nephew has grown tired of it.

Pop Idol
X Factor
Britains Got Talent
Dancing On Ice
Come Dancing

America's/Britain's next top model, my wife watches it regularly and it is utter gash. You would think seeing scantily clad ladies would be worth a watch but no they are all hideous

Have you ever been to North Yorkshire, Heartbeat is pretty much science fiction when compared to the reality of that part of the country!

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

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.

I think you're the only person who thinks that.

Anywhere.

Again very succesful in terms of overseas sales, the magazine etc. Although it must be difficult to keep coming up with new stunts.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

...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.

We must be the same person because whenever I see The Weakest Stink in the TV listings I always think exactly that - the definitive 'had it's day' programme. In related trivia, the person who invented the format for the show has Brighton links and made a tidy sum from selling the rights to the BBC.

Scrubs should have ended at Season 6. Just about to start season 9 without half the characters

[Cheeky Monkey]

Christ, you're not allowed to say that on here! Far too many pizza and Diet Coke quaffing Lost saddos inhabit this board. And as for 24....

No JD or Turk?!?!?!

 

[seagull_special]

Mitchell and Webb is starting to tire and Prison Break has gone one season to far. I may just be getting old but TV these days is just an ocean of shit. The only thing I watch now is the Wire and thats on at f***ing midnight on BBC 2

 

[BensGrandad]

Big Brother, Eurovision Song Contest, Im a celebrity, and any program about selling rubbish from the attic or garden shed or wherever. Bruce Forsyth.
