Q of S used to be unmissable, I have not watched any of the current series. It went downhill when they started "The captains challenge", something clearly designed to keep viewers with the attention span of a goldfish watching the programme. It also doesn't help that there are so few real personalities in sport now, just automatons who are utterly brilliant at what they do, but have nothing else going on "upstairs".
There's a lot of comedies that haven't aged that well. As a kid I used to adore The Goodies but I watched some original episodes a while back and found it painfully unfunny.
Old episodes are still classics but they are more than scraping the barrel with family guy and futurama crossovers.
This!I believe that if they had stopped making episodes in the '90s The Simpsons could have gone down as one of the all time great shows. Should have pulled the plug years ago.
Have I got News for You Later with Jools Newsnight
A bit strong to say they are shite, but they've become missable for me, when the first two were must see even on playback, and Newsnight is a shadow of what it was.

Good call - a lot of these shows seem to subtly (or not so subtly) dumb down to maximise ratings but, by doing so, lose the essential ingredients that made them so good in the first place
We've seen attempts in the past to tinker with the formats of shows like Mastermind or University Challenge but thankfully these have been resisted which, IMO, makes them still eminently watchable.
Never mind the buzzcocks Anything that is now a annoyingly a 'celeb charity special' like family fortunes.
Yes, that is a particular bugbear of mine. If TV execs find a successful format, as sure as night follows day, an appalling celebrity version will soon follow - Mastermind, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Big Brother, Masterchef, Bake Off....and the list goes on

Would love to watch the price is right, family fortunes, strike it lucky, again but with normal people winning a bit for themselves poke the celebrity charity shit
